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.

At Thomas land when he met the fat controller! He burst into tears but said they were happy tears!

My 7 yr old DS struggles to contain his anger if he trips over something, it immediately tries to throw it

My little ones can't contain their excitement when the paddling pool comes out!

My son used to cry in a tantrum when a toddler to the point he would fall asleep where he was! No one knew whŷ he was crying, there was no way of getting him out of it or reasoning with him!

Were going on holiday next week

ive told my 3 year old he going on holiday but to nana joans
he wasn't happy angry face and turned into the hulk

My daughter's teachers call her 'giggling grace' as she cannot stop herself giggling during registration, usually resulting in the whole class laughing along with her.

At Disneyland Paris watching the fireworks. Ds (11) had tears down his face as it was 'so beautiful'. He's a huge Disney fan...

When his bike tyre burst! He cried and cried, it was like the end of the world to him! x

Well emotions not in a good way....when his friend said he was going home because he missed his dad on a recent sleepover. They had been having so much fun. He was heartbroken, cried and cried because he couldn't understand why his friend would want to go home when they were having so much fun.

Before a party invite he's normally bouncing off the walls with excitement. Like today!

My son gets so incredibly frustrated and cross when he is trying to do something difficult. Yesterday he was building a model from a kit, and got to a really tricky bit that just wouldn't work whatever he tried... he had to get up and walk away, making growling noises and stamping his feet, before he could come back and focus on it again! It did the trick because 5 minutes later he had managed to do it.

My daughter was very excited when we went on holiday but when we arrived at the holiday cottage she was devastated that we weren't at the seaside and kept asking when we could go on holiday.

My son used to get the giggles and it was wonderful. Quite often when this happened the pair of us would be giggling uncontrollably until we were crying! It was never anything really significant that would set it off, often just something small and silly. But when it happened it was magic! It makes me feel good just thinking back on those times!

DH and I were sitting downstairs one evening when an almighty shriek (the kind someone makes when there is an intruder coming through the window) emanates from DD's room.
We obviously run up to her room scrambling over each other in our haste first aid kit / baseball bat in hand. To find she has reached the point in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' where Charlie finds a golden ticket.
Poor DD got almost as much of a fright as we did when her two, slightly deranged-looking, parents burst into her room at 8.30 at night. She was only 5 at the time, but we definitely knew we'd got her the right present for her 6th birthday (Golden Ticket in a Wonka bar announcing a trip to Cadbury's World!).

My daughter was 1 week away from her 3rd birthday when I went into labour with our second baby. She had been prepared for what would happen as I'd had a quick labour first time round so had opted for a home birth to save me giving birth in the back of the car on the way to hospital.

Contractions started in the middle of the night, so I expected DD to sleep straight through the labour and wake up to a new sibling, but some instinct must have woken her up because I was only on my 3rd contraction (not even sure if this was the real deal) when she woke up wanting to see mummy.

She stayed with me and OH throughout the (1 hour 8 minute) labour, very calmly watching and chatting, generally being remarkably sensible for a 3 year old at 2am!

As I started pushing, DD knew the baby was close and came to my side, hand on my shoulder, telling me to be brave because the baby was nearly here. She did this completely unprompted.

And then, if I were in any doubt, as DD2 crowned, DD1 just shrieked in absolute joy "Mummy I see the baby!" And when her sister was born, she cried and laughed. She was shaking from the excitement and didn't stop grinning for hours.

Even in the all-consuming chaos of the last stages of labour, her little voice cut straight through my consciousness. I've never witnessed such pure, unhindered excitement. It's making me well up again, just thinking about it!

A surprise visit to see the new Minions movie was met with lots of screaming and excitement!

This instantly made me think of my 3 year old. The main emotion at the moment is anger-usually when his brother is playing with a toy and he wants it. Counting the days til we pass this stage...

[Crazy] My Son who has GDD gets majorly hyper at times which to me is cute to see, e.g time he learnt to write the alphabet at 7 years old & I bought him a bike he wanted took it school at home time, Scott jumped up and down then ran around and around his new bike! Yes he did actually go on it eventually hahaha [Grin]

When very tired.

when Ariana was out pushing her little dolls pram for the first time - she was off like a shot and giggling uncontrollably with glee.

My eldest daughter always had a bit of a play fight when her Dad got home from work. One time (she was about 5 years old) they were rolling around on our new living room carpet seeing who was the most ticklish. She laughed so much she wet herself! Hubbie always likes to bring it up when her friends are round..."remember the time you ...." . She certainly ain't laughing now! (stroppy teen alert).

The sheer delight at having a balloon at EuroDisney was tainted by thoroughly over-exhausted, "But I might lose it!" distress.

My little girl cried her eyes out I the day we got her a puppy. It was a surprise and she couldn't speak she was so happy xx

Jacob is a very excitable and animated child, even though he's 4 when he gets excited and is happy about something you can practically feel him vibrating with the excitement as he starts bouncing and shrieking and speaking fast and loud. We recently took him to LEGOland Discovery Centre in Manchester and we'd barely got into the entrance when he started shrieking and cuddling the large LEGO figures dotted around.

We watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today (from mummy's Johmny Depp collection ).

When [SPOILERS] Charlie says he can't leave his family to take over the factory, DS (6) lost it completely, floods of tears... 'It's not like the book, mummy!' ...I managed to calm him down enough to keep watching; 'I think it might end up like the book, DS!'

DD (10) was much less traumatised. "Hey, dd, would you choose the chocolate factory or your family?" "Er, yeah....hmmm.... uh definitely family, mum"

My little girl can not contain her excitement at the moment, her birthday is still a month away and she is waking every morning excited asking if it's her birthday yet as she is having a big party
