The script was written by Eric Siegel and Anthony Leondis, who will also direct the film. According to the introduction, "The Emoji Movie" is a bit like "Inside Out" and "Wreck-It Ralph", telling the adventures of a group of emojis in your mobile phone. This group of emojis live in the "Emoji Valley", and their world is connected to the world of other apps through the mobile phone desktop. It is reported that Sony has reached an agreement with many well-known apps and will use their apps in the movie, including the music app Spotify.
