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.

my son who is now 21 it always sticks in my mind when we bought him A super train Megazord for christmas he was so excited and was jumping up and down saying I can't believe I got a super train Megazord over and over again too cute.

When DD, 5, realised that we were getting a puppy, she looked shocked, stunned, then ran around the kitchen crying her eyes out! Asking, "Is it real or just a big trick?" We reassured her it was no joke, then she started sobbing, DH, comforted her, and then he and I both started, we were all in tears! :)

Ava my daughter when we are going on holiday the excitement builds up but when she sees the plane she explodes

When I took my DS to Disney World a few years back he didn't seem very impressed by all the Disney characters. But then he saw Tigger and oh my goodness, he was so star truck, his eyes started to well up and he just ran for a cuddle. It was soooooo cute

My 4 year old son was playing a game of hide and seek and he was so determined to win that when he hid in the wardrobe he needed a wee...10 minutes later he won the game however the wardrobe had never been the same since and needed a lot of dettol. We all saw the funny side and it was one of those times where he couldn't stop laughing as well as being delighted about winning 😂

My little girl is very excitable! She gets so excited just to go to nursery! She asks if its nursery today and if it is she jumps around shouting YAY! Bless her! i must be so boring!

We have just got back from holiday with our boys. What an array of emotions we encountered there!

My daughter every Halloween swings open the door, gasps and exclaims every child looks beautiful. She will be a motivational speaker when she's older 😍😍

Setting off on holiday is the greatest trigger for uncontrollable excitement - and that's just me!

The kids atm are so overexcited and bouncy. They couldn't contain their excitement that school was out for the Summer and on the half day Wednesday when it finished they were like a bottle of Lemonade that someone had shaken up! They couldn't stop squealing with excitement or stop jumping about or stay in one place, they were running round in happy circles so I took them to the park to burn some of the excess energy off!

From when DS2 was about 8 months old, he would get so excited about being fed, every time he heard the click of my nursing bra, it would send him into spasms of delight and he would do this wriggly little dance whilst grinning ear to ear.

At ten he is still enamored by food and does his "Kung-foo Chi-Chi" dance whenever his favorite meal is presented (which can only be described as David Brent doing the Haka).

I'd like to post a happy memory but the ones that come to mind most are when he gets home from school crying at being bullied. Difficult to hold in how upset he is.

My daughter got to go on her first ever plane ride last year, aged 4. She was so excited - She was squealing when she saw the planes!

When we had a takeaway the other week my nephew was so excited. When the doorbell rang, he ran down the stairs so fast that he tripped up and fell over. Thankfully he was ok, but I've never seen someone so excited by chinese food!

My son nearly bursts with excitement over a new toy, no matter how small, and then spends ages playing with it.

I have 4 DC - my eldest, DD1, was 22 yesterday and my youngest, DD3, will be 11 in August. DD1 has been in Spain since the end of August last year, doing a placement as part of her university degree. Although she has come back home a couple of times, DD3 really misses her big sister.

In June, my sister visited us from Canada and had a family reunion to catch up with the wider family.. DD1 was really disappointed to be missing it and eventually decided to fly home for the weekend and keep it a surprise (apart from my husband, DD2 and I). DD3 had been out early on the Friday evening and had come home really tired at about 8.30pm. By the time she had eaten and had a bath it was gone 9.15pm and I was torn between her going to bed and getting a good night's sleep or letting her stay up until her sister got home. I text DD2 and asked how close to home they were but she didn't reply. Eventually, I put DD3 to bed; literally 5 minutes later DD1 arrived back home so I sent DD1 up to say goodnight - the look on DD3 face was a real picture - she was so excited. Two minutes later she was in floods of tears because we had known and hadn't told her - sometimes you just can't win!

My daughter is adopted and suffers even the smallest of losses terribly.

Years ago we went to see Curious George at the cinema, during the school holidays. There's a moment in the film where the man with the yellow hat arranges for George to be taken away by animal care because he'd caused him too much trouble.

As the cage is being wheeled away, the man tells George this and says, "Just go."

Luckily this was at the end of the film's run and we actually had the cinema screen room to ourselves because DD began to sob uncontrollably. It took me about 20 minutes to calm her sobs and the only reason I didn't whisk her out was because I knew they would be reunited.

This was the first time she'd ever really cried (she'd had temper tantrums) since she had come home to us 3 years earlier. It was a huge breakthrough and I'm extremely grateful that it was just us there!

We took the children to center parcs earlier this year but didn't tell them we were going, once they clocked the centre parcs sign and realised they were going the went wild

At christmas I took my youngest son to get his hair cut at our local barbers, he was waiting to be called when he saw a man having his beard trimmed, he started staring and could not take his eyes off the man, it was getting quite embarrassing when he suddenly blurted out what he wanted for christmas. I then realised he thought the man in the chair was far christmas, it was so sweet.

When I picked her up from school early, she thought she had a dentist appointment we were in fact going to Harry Potter studios curtesy of Mumsnet! She squealed so loud in the car park and burst into tears!!! Thank you Mumsnet I'll never forget that moment or the magical evening we had.

6 year old saw a huge spider, told his DM excitedly. She was cleaning so went over, looked and vacuumed it up. He burst into tears as he really liked it and was watching it.

My main thing my daughter finds difficult to contain is frustration...sigh
You can tell she tries her hardest as she starts to shake so much that you think she is going to take off.

She's very spirited, inquisitive and bright, which means she likes to interject with her immediate opinion in the majority of situations.

I love when she watches a film as she gives a full commentary about what they should have done in the film ahahaha

When DS1 was little, M&S opened near us, he was probably about 15 months old. I put him into the seat of a trolley to have a look round. When we went in the door, a woman was giving helium balloons to the kids. She tied the ribbon around his wrist and I've never seen such an expression of wide eyed awe and happiness. He was giggling away and absolutely overjoyed with a white balloon. I remember thinking how amazing it would be if something so simple could make everyone so happy!

My 9 year old is sadly just like her Mum (me!) and we know whenever she is too excited, as she ends up with a migraine! Its such a nightmare, but I used to be the same...If I knew we were going on holiday or having a party, I would be struck by the worst migraines, and sometimes be in so much agony I couldn't eat or drink & would end up on a drip in hospital so I could get fluids in me! Now, although we haven't had to take her to hospital (fingers crossed!) my daughter gets such awful agonising pains if she gets over excited about things...she is now on medication to help with this which is sad, but just want her to be able to look forward and get excited about things without it causing her so much grief. xxx
