Which animation studio produced The Emoji Movie?

Which animation studio produced The Emoji Movie? Sony Pictures Animation produced The Emoji Movie.

The 2017 film was produced by Sony Pictures Animation, Sony’s feature-animation studio. Its studio credit is shared with Columbia Pictures, while Sony Pictures Releasing distributed the movie through the Columbia Pictures label in the United States. These roles are related but not interchangeable: a production studio makes or co-produces a film, while a distributor handles its theatrical release.

The Emoji Movie was Sony Pictures Animation’s 12th animated feature. It followed films such as Open Season, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and Hotel Transylvania, and preceded later Sony animated projects including Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The movie was made using computer animation and centers on Gene, an unusually expressive emoji living in Textopolis.

A frequent mistake is choosing Illumination, DreamWorks Animation, or Blue Sky Studios because those companies produced other well-known animated films. Sony Pictures Animation is the specific studio credited here. Columbia Pictures is also part of the film’s official studio identity, but the question asks for the animation studio, making Sony Pictures Animation the canonical answer.
