Hidden within every smartphone’s messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all the emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression–except for Gene, who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his best friend Hi-5 and the notorious code breaker emoji, Jailbreak. Together, they embark on an epic “app-venture” to find the code that will “fix” Gene. But then danger comes, and the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends.
