The Emoji Movie tells the story of a fictional city called Textopolis that is hidden inside of all smartphones.
Each emoji has only a single facial expression, except for Gene, an exuberant emoji with multiple expressions.
We won"t spoil the rest of the film for you, except to say that this really is the basis for an actual movie.
In promoting the unusual cartoon, producers Tweeted a photo of an emoji wearing the outfit of a main character from Hulu"s drama The Handmaid’s Tale… and Internet users were simply NOT having it.
Not when The Handmaid’s Tale centers on a totalitarian state that treats women as pieces of property.
Scroll down to see what critics had to say about this misguided parody…
