    Fun fact: at one point Jordan Peele was considered for the role of the poop emoji. He said he'd sleep on it, but when he called Sony the next day to talk about what the paycheck would be like, they told him they'd already hired Patrick Stewart behind his back. Peele would go on to state that that level of unprofessional behaviour from Sony was, if not the final straw, then a significant factor that caused him to retire from acting.
    At least he went on to become a director of much better things than this

      Oh wow, really? I heard the story of the role of Poop in this film setting off a chain of events that led Peele to switch to directing (heck, I think it was even mentioned in the comments of Sean's previous Razzie video), but I thought that it was a matter of Peele simply being insulted by the role so much that he decided to try something else with his career. Honestly, I can't tell if this is actually _worse._

      Popeye was already dead because of the Sony hack by the time The Emoji Movie was greenlit. It was already heading into development hell under the old Sony regime, and when the aforementioned hack caused major management shakeups its fate was sealed, as new suits tend to kill the projects the old suits were developing in order to make the studio their own.

    • @daniexists6
      @daniexists6 11 місяців тому

      Honestly, it may not be the case.
      What the Sony leak detailed is that nobody had confidence in Popeye because the character isn't as big a player in cartoons and comics compared to folks that came after his first appearance in Thimble Theater like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and the like, and he became harder to market as a result.

    This was a movie that tried so hard to make the message "just be yourself" and also "FEMINISM" that they couldn't make it work. Because they spent so much time making it seem like it was a bad thing to be a princess, that by the time she accepted being a princess emoji it just seemed like she was conforming not accepting herself.
    But the acceptance message made more sense for the meh emoji, and you can't mix those messages without a lot of effort and better writing, which the movie just didn't have.
    Also, pretty much every actor that graciously accepted their razzy came out better on the other side then actors that didn't, period. And The Rock just basically shrugging and laughing it off explains why he is so successful.

Though in that case, I feel like that's more due to everything about it, it being more recent, the subject matter, and its overall lack of quality make it a much easier target. (That and everyone keeps blaming this film for Popeye being delayed when in reality, Genndy gave up on the project to work on Hotel Transylvania 3, something Animat made an entire video talking about, yet I seem to be the only one on the planet who actually remembers that)

    I still remember the first time i saw this movie, and I was drained so hard that I put my head on the promotional cardboard stand. It was a stupid idea from the get go, and unlike the lego movie which was able to prove everyone wrong and be a film everyone would love (except me at the time), this film was so apathetic about its quality and reception that it was insulting, especially with its own arrogance in the opening with Meh pointing out the audience's lack of attention span, and calling emojis "the most important invention in the history of communication". And that's what still gets me about it. It doesn't give one ioda about its audience, or the general filming public, and will do whatever it can to suck so long as it makes more money than captain underpants and kubo and the two strings. It's so derivative of other movies, it's almost plaigarizing, its humor is miserable with only one chuckle from the elderly being text emoticons (like :P or >:|), the writing feels so careless with characterization, blatant with how much it wants to advertise you stuff, and even a tiny bit misguided with jailbreak. And i wouldn't have minded it if it was at least enjoyably bad or bewilderingly bad, but the fact that it's boring makes everything that much worse. I can't even look back on it and have a laugh, it's just tedious.
    Having said that, I still see why the snowman could be worse. Like i said, the snowman was more unfinished, and this one was more mind numbing. It's more of a pick your poison in terms of which you find worse. Seeing as i haven't watched the snowman, only seeing it in your review, I'm not sure if I can fairly pick or say the emoji movie was more deserving, but if it's enough to show other animators what a lack of passion and caring leads to, i won't complain about the worst picture win. It's still the worst animated film i've seen without a doubt, and yes i've seen food fight....and the LINT WAS A FLESHLI-

Also, I hate The Emoji Movie more than I hated any of the other movies nominated by The Razzies or otherwise that year, but I still agree that The Snowman was worse for the reasons stated in this video and the video Sean did on the movie some years back. It's like how you may hate a certain video game for being frustrating, but in terms of basic state of being, Big Rigs will always be one of the worst video games ever made purely because of how the game is barely even functional in the first place.
