Foodfight! vs. the Emoji Movie

'Foodfight! vs. the Emoji Movie' is a 2031 American computer-animated science fiction comedy film directed by Josh FoodFiege and Tony Leondis, produced by Sony Pictures Animation, and distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment. The film is a sequel to 2028’s Foodfight!: The Next Chapter, which is the third film in the Foodfight! franchise originally distributed by Lionsgate, and serves as a crossover with 2017’s universally panned The Emoji Movie. Produced by Seth Rogen and Leondis and written by Leondis, FoodFiege, and Mike White from a story by FoodFiege, Leondis, and Rogen, the film stars Charlie Sheen, TJ Miller, Hilary Duff, Anna Faris, James Corden, Wayne Brady, Larry Miller, Maya Rudolph, James Arnold Taylor, Patrick Stewart, Robert Constanzo, Steven Wright, Jennifer Coolidge, Bryan Cranston, Jessica Chastain, and Jeffrey Wright. In the film, set a few years after the events of The Next Chapter, a new altercation in the Multiverse causes The Emoji Movie universe and it’s characters to fuse with the Foodfight! Universe, causing a conflict between the two factions. But soon, the two franchises will have to team up and make peace with each other to take down FoodMoji (Cranston), an Ike/Emoji hybrid who teams up with Lady X (Longoria) and Smiler (Rudolph) to conquer the two universes.

A sequel to Foodfight!: The Next Chapter was announced in 2029 after the film’s success. While talking about ideas, one of the film’s writers and producers, Seth Rogen, jokingly said that they should make a crossover between Foodfight! and The Emoji Movie (2017). However they thought the idea was actually so genius that they decided to make it the actual story for the film. Leondis, the director of The Emoji Movie, and Mike White, the co-writer of said film, were hired to help with the film, and the voice cast of that film also returned. Due to the idea for a crossover between two differently-distributed animated films, the project went through many licensing setbacks before production could begin; Sony Pictures, the distributor for The Emoji Movie, eventually negotiated to distribute the film as a whole, making it the first Foodfight! film to not be distributed by their long-time distributor Lionsgate. The film was produced through Sony Pictures Animation, who coincidentally animated The Next Chapter.

''Foodfight! vs. the Emoji Movie was theatrically released on July 28, 2031, 14 years after the release of The Emoji Movie''. The film grossed $285 million and received generally positive reviews from critics, praising the concept.
