With the Queen’s funeral taking place on Monday and most TV channels blocking out their schedules to livestream the ceremony, it’s understandable if some people want to watch something a little bit lighter during the current period of national mourning.
The Emoji Movie, however, is not what we – or indeed, many others – had in mind, but it’s being offered on Channel 5 from 11:10am, right when the BBC, ITV and Sky will be airing the funeral service of the late monarch which begins at 11am.
The 2017 animated film, which starred James Corden and Patrick Stewart as the hi-5 and poop emoji respectively (yes, really), was a commercial flop – with the site Rotten Tomatoes giving it a Tomatometer score of just six per cent.
It’s worth mentioning, just in case you were somehow expecting the movie to be a cinematic masterpiece.
The channel will then air Stuart Little at 12:30pm, followed by the third film in the Ice Age series – Dawn of the Dinosaurs – at 1:55pm.
However, it’s Channel 5’s decision to air The Emoji Movie which has been praised online, after entertainment reporter Scott Bryan shared the news on Friday

However, it’s Channel 5’s decision to air The Emoji Movie which has been praised online, after entertainment reporter Scott Bryan shared the news on Friday:
According to the TV schedule, Channel 5 will not be broadcasting any of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral on Bank Holiday Monday. Instead, the broadcaster will air a selection of children's TV programmes including Fireman Sam and Thomas & Friends. They will also show a number of films in the afternoon ranging from The Emoji Movie, Stuart Little and Ice Age 3.
The broadcaster's decision has sparked a strong reaction online, and while some viewers are thrilled about the move, others were less than impressed.
In response to @SuperTV247's tweet about the schedule shake-up, viewer Ryan fumed: "Boycott channel 5."
Stepping in to defend the channel, user @Official_WXUK replied: "Support Channel 5."
While Holland & Jervis added: "The bosses at channel 5 are truly evil."
Brooke Kelly commented: "Channel 5 really said **** the Queen and **** Neighbours."
"Disrespectful move by Channel 5," user @0xx0_Lester went on to say.
Jamies Davies raged: "@Channel5Press @channel5_tv shame on you for not broadcasting the Queens funeral."
Ian Stewart was also pleased with Channel 5's schedule, tweeting: "Channel 5 kinda day then it is." (sic)

Channel 5 won't be the only broadcaster not airing the Queen's funeral.
Channel 4 have also made the decision not to show the Queen being laid to rest, instead, they will be airing a documentary as a tribute to the monarch.
A Queen Is Crowned, a documentary from 1953 will be broadcast from 12pm, followed by a Channel 4 News summary.
The broadcaster will also observe a two-minute silence in memory of the Queen.
Discussing its decision to not air the Queen's funeral, a Channel 4 spokesman said: "On the day Britain says farewell to its longest serving monarch, Channel 4 will be airing A Queen Is Crowned, the classic 1953 documentary about her coronation, so that viewers can experience both the beginning and end of her remarkable reign.
"Following the service, Channel 4 will also broadcast two extended editions of Channel 4 News as well as the 1943 Vera Lynn film, We’ll Meet Again," they added to Metro.co.uk.
Channel 5 and Channel 4 may not be airing the funeral, but Sky BBC and ITV will be.
