Want to see an Emoji movie? Sony Pictures Animation plans to make one

Who needs a plot, a famous cast or a beautiful set when you have a loveable collection of ethnically diverse Emoji, a dancing lady and a smiling poo, eh? Not Sony Pictures Animation; the studio has just won a bidding battle to produce an animated movie based around the recognisable Apple-created characters who have come to communicate our every emotion, whim and fancy, Deadline announced today. The film is to be written by Anthony Leondis and Eric Siegel, who have yet to reveal how they intend to make a masterpiece out of our favourite funnies.
