Share the moments your children haven’t been able to contain their emotions with The Emoji Movie - £300 voucher to be won. NOW CLOSED

[JustineBMumsnet]

In light of the release of The Emoji Movie at Cinemas on August 4 (previews August 2 & 3), Sony Pictures would like to hear about the moments when your children haven’t been able to contain their emotions.

Here’s what Sony Pictures has to say: “The Emoji Movie unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression – except for Gene (T.J. Miller), an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 (James Corden) and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak (Anna Faris). Together, they embark on an epic “app-venture” through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it’s deleted forever.”

See the trailer for The Emoji Movie below:

The Emoji Movie is at Cinemas August 4 (previewing on August 2 & 3). Find out more about The Emoji Movie on Facebook.

Throughout November and December the little one gets increasingly excited about Santa coming. It becomes an obsession with every conversation being Christmas themed and she can't sleep properly for weeks due to excitement

My nephew lived in Brussels and aged just three he came to visit me and he was so happy to be in England and loved it instantly and just kept saying to anyone who would listen 'this is English' whilst jumping up and down and clapping his hands.

It was when we went to Blackpool, he fell asleep in he car, on the journey, then when we took a walk on the front he saw Blackpool Tower, he just froze to the spot looked up, and shouted - just look at that giant model mummy ! He was totally overwhelmed with the sights sounds and smells (chips and candy floss) of the place. It was a total sensory overload for him the clapping and jumping was totally amazing. The best day out ever.

My lad is football crazy, one time (quite mean really) I told my son that he wasn't going to football training at the weekend. I left it until the next day before telling him he was going on a "Daddy day" to see his/our football team play for his first time. The excitement was wonderful to see.

It would have to be the time we brought up the new baby brother or sister, cue instant tears. We were slightly concerned as expected it to be taken better but we knew it can sometime take time to come round to the idea.

"you promise? My eyes are leaking, why are my eyes leaking, make it stop"

Turns out they were happy tears, which made me start crying when I realised! Was difficult explaining happy tears, especially since I was now crying too! Happy tears are still called leaky eyes

When my daughter woke up on the day of her birthday and with excitement reached for the light switch... disappointment took over as she thought she would grow overnight and would be able to reach for the switch.

My Edmonton literally cried with happiness the first time she saw a giraffe in the zoo. It was funny to watch!

My daughter is Marvel mad and when they announced the cinema release date for Civil War she was jumping around the room like a lunatic. We had to book tickets and see it the day it was released and she was hyper all morning.

We have 3 dogs and my little girl knows that they go to the toilet outside, so every time one of the dogs has a wee outside she gets really excited jumps up and down and claps them. The dogs think its great as they get extra fuss and my daughter thinks they extremely clever.

At Alton towers last week my D's was so excited he kept getting his words mixed up "Mummy pee pee need not." He forgot he had had lunch and was buzzing around all day.

When Ari pushed her little dolls pram for the first time. She was off like a shot and the giggles and screams of glee were ear shatteringly loud but super adorable.

My children get embarrassingly excited where there are sweets around and tend to pile in at parties to grab handfuls. I am there to restrain them and I promise, they are not deprived at home

It has to be when we go on holiday. Usually we self cater and need to do a shop first, but they simply cannot contain their excitement over the swimming pool and are just itching to get in. Of course we let them and their faces are a picture...until 30 minutes later when they are hungry and we have nothing to eat....

My son gets a bit excited when he does school performances and always gets very giddy when he sees Mum and Dad walk in the school hall

Christmas or birthday mornings. Also holidays and trips out. A great deal of excitement !!

when the other children of the family come over its chaos and we don't have a hope of getting everyone to be sleeping at the same time

Definitely has to be last christmas, the excitement got too much and hyper is an understatement! Finally went to sleep at about midnight and by then santa was exhausted...!

My eldest has a few control issues. So as soon as something does not go his away, he quickly loses his temper, and lets everyone know about it.
The trigger can be anything, tablet not turning off, unable to get a shoe on or do up a button, etc.
The flip-side of this is that he can also get exicted about most things. A trip to the cinema/park/swimming.
A day out, or a special treat, are usually met with overwhelming excitement.

DS jumped up in his seat and laughed hysterically at the bit of Finding Dory when Hank drives the lorry into the sea.

My youngest ds gets very emotional when he hears certain songs. Tears silently rolled down his face through the songs 'Little donkey' and 'Away in a manger' in his school Christmas play. 'Puff the magic dragon' sets his 6ft4 grandad off though, so it must be in his genes!

Ill never forget my little brother crying with happiness. Id promised him a gyro RC helicopter with my first wage from working when i was 17.

He was only little and that is all he went on about. I started my first job as an apprentice in a estate agents and counted the days til my first wage. I got £72 per week but got paid monthly. On the day of my first wage i went to the gadget shop which he had seen them in and i bought him the biggest one i found which was £70!! (a full weeks wage almost!)

I couldnt wait to get home. As i got in i sat down, asked him to come and sit (he sat opposite me on the sofa) and i pulled it out of the bag.

Tears flew from his eyes - i dont think they hit his cheeks they were that powerful!! He jumped up crying and threw himself on me to give me a big hug!

To this day that is the best, most memorable thing ever. Hes 18 in a few months so i dont think i would get that reaction anymore!

This week my great niece's Mummy asked her 'Olivia, if you could go anywhere in the world that would make you really, really happy where would it be?' Olivia jumped up & down, clapping her hands with joy shouting 'ASDA Mummy, let's go to ASDA'. Well it's a heck of a lot cheaper than Disneyworld!

DD has ASD, so pretty much most of the time.....

She's 5, and couldn't contain her rage at the unfairness of the Beast/Prince in Beauty and the Beast being unkind to the old woman/witch. Genuinely, we had to switch it off.

Christmas eve - my children were so excited, they couldn't keep still. They couldn't sleep and would be giggling and listening out for Father Christmas's sleigh bells or the sound of his reindeer on the roof. Any noise downstairs and they would come down either for the toilet, or a drink.

Christmas when they could not get to sleep and woke up early. Also on holiday when seeing characters dressed up and believing that they really were Snow White or the Power Rangers.
