Here's what the cast of 'The Emoji Movie' looks like in real life

An emoji is worth a thousand words — at least, in "The Emoji Movie" it is. 

The new animated film released on Friday — with already terrible critical reviews — features Gene (T.J. Miller), a "meh" emoji who goes on an adventure in a teen's phone.

Emojis from the ice cream cone to the flamenco dancer, and even the poop emoji are brought to life in the new film.

Check out who brings the characters to life: 

Gene is supposed to be a "meh" emoji, but he struggles to keep the proper expression.

He's played by "Silicon Valley" star T.J. Miller.

Hi-5 is a hand emoji who becomes Gene's friend and sidekick.

"The Late Late Show" host James Corden brings the hand to life.

Jailbreak is a codebreaker who is helping Hi-5 and Gene on their mission to fix Gene.

Anna Faris plays her.

Smiler is an intense smiley emoji.

Comedian Maya Rudolph is Smiler.

Mel Meh is Gene's dad and a proper "meh" emoji.

Stand-up comedian Steven Wright delivers the deadpan lines.

Mary Meh is another "meh" emoji and Gene's mom.

The hilarious Jennifer Coolidge plays her.

Alex is the human teenager whose phone these emojis live in.

Jake T. Austin is the teen.

Akiko Glitter isn't an emoji. She's a dancer from the Just Dance app.

Musician Christina Aguilera is featured as the dancer.

There's also obviously a poop emoji wearing a bow tie.

And he's played by Sir Patrick Stewart.

You can't forget the ice cream emoji.

Funnyman Rob Riggle voices him.

The devil emoji has a name, and it's Steven.

Sean Hayes lends his voice to the devil.
