== Production ==
The movie was inspired by director Tony Leondis' love of ''[[Toy Story]].'' <ref name="SRToystory">{{cite web|last1=Frreeman|first1=Molly|title=How Toy Story Inspired The Emoji Movie, According to Tony Leondis|url=http://screenrant.com/emoji-movie-director-tony-leondis-interview/|website=Screenrant|accessdate=14 July 2017}}</ref> Wanting to make a new take on the concept, he began asking himself "What is the new toy out there that hasn’t been explored?" At the same time, he received a text message with an Emoji, which helped Leondis to realize that this was the world he wanted to explore.<ref name="SRToystory"/> In fleshing out the story, Leondis considered having the emojis visit the real world. However, his producer felt that it was a much more interesting concept to explore the world inside a phone, which inspired Leondis to create the story of where and how the emojis lived. <ref name="SRToystory"/> As Leondis is gay, he connected to Gene's plight of "being different in a world that expects you to be one thing" and in eventually realizing that the feeling held true for most people, Leondis has said the film "was very personal."<ref name="SRToystory"/>

In July 2015, it was announced that [[Sony Pictures Animation]] had won the bidding war against [[Warner Bros.]] and [[Paramount Pictures]] over production rights of an animated film centered on emoji.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Fleming Jr|first1=Mike|title=Emoji At Center Of Bidding Battle Won By Sony Animation; Anthony Leondis To Direct|url=http://deadline.com/2015/07/emoji-movie-sony-pictures-animation-anthony-leondis-kung-fu-panda-secrets-of-the-masters-1201482768/|accessdate=December 23, 2015|work=Deadline|date=July 21, 2015|language=en-US}}</ref> With the official announcement occurring at the 2016 [[CinemaCon]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Chipman|first1=Bob|title=Emoji Movie Officially Announced by Sony; Plot Details Revealed|url=http://screenrant.com/emoji-movie-sony-plot-release-date/|accessdate=April 16, 2016|work=Screen Rant|date=April 13, 2016|language=en-US}}</ref>

On July 17, 2016 (on [[World Emoji Day]]), Miller was announced as the lead. <ref name="EWT.J.Miller"/> Leondis created the part with Miller in mind, although the actor was initially hesitant to play the role, only accepting after Leondis briefed him on the story.<ref name="Inversemiller"/> Leondis chose Miller because "when you think of irrepressible, you think of TJ. But he also has this surprising ability to break your heart" <ref name="Inversemiller">{{cite web|last1=Gaudette|first1=Emily|title=How the 'Emoji Movie' Tries to Transcend Capitalism|url=https://www.inverse.com/article/33971-the-emoji-movie-tj-miller-tony-leondis|website=Inverse|accessdate=14 July 2017}}</ref>.
