YMMV / Disney Emoji Blitz

• Heartwarming Moments: Buzz Lightyear is a flying toy.
• Game-Breaker:
  • Elastigirl. Her power starts out with four punches to clear one emoji each, so have fun blasting through survival events (until you reach the Required section). They even lampshade this on the loading screen!
  • Joy is a very popular emoji due to her power allowing you to place a sun power-up anywhere on the board, as well as generating more Joy emojis nearby. If you have a rainbow star present on the board you can immediately combine the two to fill the board with sunshine.
  • Defied with certain Rainbow emojis such as Rainbow Mickey and Yensid. They're rare Rainbow Boxers and their power bars take much longer to fill up than usual.
• Low-Tier Letdown: Several emojis have drawn the ire of players due to their powers being difficult to use or not very effective. Iago, Nick Wilde, Captain Jack Sparrow and Rey have all drawn particular criticism and complaints when players are forced to use them for missions or events, the latter perhaps a bit more since she's a Diamond emoji.
• Scrappy Mechanic: The use of required emojis in multi-map Clear, Survival, and Villain events. Since they limit your usable emojis to only a handful per map, and those emojis are often required to be at levels 2, 3, or even 4, they tend to lock out many casual and free-to-play players. This is especially true when the required emojis are new or Rainbow/Story emojis, which can't be leveled as easily during gameplay.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Some players don't like the changes Jam City made, especially those who view it as more "Pay to Play".
• Unexpected Character: Many emojis are of fairly minor and obscure characters or even from fairly obscure movies.
  • Pacha. While The Emperor's New Groove is very popular among Disney fans, and he is the deuteragonist, he isn't usually marketed as much as Kuzco, Yzma, and Kronk are, making his appearance in this game a pleasant surprise for fans.
  • Merlin's Sugar Bowl from The Sword in the Stone, a living item that's barely a character in the film, only appearing in the first third.
  • Ron and Barney from Ron's Gone Wrong were surprising inclusions, given that their home movie was developed and published by Fox and has little connection to Disney beyond distribution.
  • The inclusion of characters from Fox-owned Anastasia and Titanic were completely out of the blue, especially since Disney hasn't really acknowledged the former in years.
  • This sometimes applies to cameos as well; one of the experiments who appear in the first part of Angel's ability (her singing her siren song) is Cannonball (Experiment 520), who is a recurring experiment in Lilo & Stitch: The Series, but he's not as popular or recognizable as the other two who appear in her ability's animation (Reuben [X-625] and Sparky [X-221], both of whom debuted in Stitch! The Movie).
  • Blanche and Rose probably aren't the first characters that come to mind when you first think of Disney, though The Golden Girls was created by Touchstone Pictures, which is owned by Disney. While the show has enjoyed popularity decades after its final episode, it can be rather risqué compared to your average Disney movie.
