The movie stars the voice of T.J. Miller as Gene, an emoji outcast because he can wear multiple expressions. In a bid to become normal, Gene teams up with best bud Hi-5 (James Corden) and hacker Jailbreak (Ilana Glazer) on an "app-venture" through the phone to fix his code.

Sony also announced Maya Rudolph will voice Crazy Happy and Jennifer Coolidge will voice Gene's mom, Mary Meh.

"The Emoji Movie" opens in theaters August 4.
