Not to be confused with, and very much unlike The Emoji Movie,
Emojiland is an electric ensemble piece about a diverse community of archetypes who take one another at face value: a smiling face dealing with depression; a princess who doesn't want a prince; a skull dying for deletion; a nerd face too smart for his own good; a face with sunglasses who can't see past his own reflection; and a police officer and construction worker who just want to work together. When a software update threatens to destroy life as they know it,
Emojiland faces the most fundamental questions a society - and a heart - can face: Who are we? And who matters?
