Sony Pictures Animation has bought the rights to turn emoji icons into a movie.
Emojis, which are symbols that help described feelings or emotions, are used by millions of people around the world in texts, online chats and on social media.
It's not clear yet how Sony will turn the yellow round faces into a blockbuster animation.
Emojis have developed massively over the years from simple faces to a range of different characters
Emojis were developed in Japan in the late 1990s as smiley-faced emoticons.
They have developed from graphics that represent faces to a wider range of things, including pets, objects and poo.
A giant spiralling vortex has appeared in a lake in the United States.
Video footage has captured the vortex on Lake Texoma, which is on the border between the states of Texas and Oklahoma.
It opened up after water was drained from the lake after severe floods.
The hole is two and a half metres wide but is walled off to make sure vessels and small boats are not caught up in it. (CBBC newsround)
What's a Vortex?
In fluid dynamics, a vortex is a region, in a fluid medium, in which the flow is mostly rotating on an axis line, the vortical flow that occurs either on a straight-axis or a curved-axis. The plural of vortex is either vortices or vortexes.
Once formed, vortices can move, stretch, twist, and interact in complex ways. A moving vortex carries with it some angular and linear momentum, energy, and mass. In a stationary vortex, the streamlines and pathlines are closed. In a moving or evolving vortex the streamlines and pathlines are stretched by the overall flow into loopy but open curves.

A super-life-like robot has started work at a department store in Tokyo, Japan.
The robot will help to welcome customers who visit the shop, and offer directions.
Mio Sakai has been working as the store's human receptionist for two years now, and says she feels honoured to work alongside the robot-lady.
The new robo-receptionist will be welcoming visitors to the store for the next few days, before working elsewhere in the store as a guide.

Dressed in a kimono and smiling, Aiko Chihira greets shoppers at the entrance of Tokyo's Mitsukoshi department store. But Chihira is no regular employee — she is a humanoid robot.
Developed by Toshiba last year, the robot made its debut at the store on Monday in a new role interacting with customers.
Speaking Japanese, Chihira, which has human-like features and blinks, can also be programmed to speak in other languages such as Chinese.
"It would be good if we can have her provide guidance, or recommend various things in Chinese," said Hitoshi Tokuda, Toshiba's new business development division group manager.
"... People can be looking around and think, 'Oh if Aiko is around, she can speak Chinese'. That's what I hope will happen."
Sign language
Toshiba has said Chihira has 43 motors which allow it to move. The robot is also programmed to do Japanese sign language.
At Monday's unveiling, Chihira accompanied Japanese opera singer Shoko Iwashita in a performance.
"I would like you to listen to the song that I've put a lot of effort into," the robot said.
After the performance, in which it appeared as if Chihira had lip-synched, the robot asked for applause for Iwashita.
Chihira, currently not programmed to respond to customer complaints or questions, is not the only robot to work in retail. Last year, Nestle said it would enlist SoftBank Corp's humanoid robots, Pepper, to help sell its coffee makers at home appliances stores across Japan.

Zuri, an African lion, has become quite attached to his tree
Manager Dawny Greenwood said: "They just love the trees, it gives them hours of fun."
People have been dropping off their trees and some companies have donated unsold ones.

It's really a good use for those "old" Christmas trees, but it's a pity that they were cut off the forests where they belong and have a much worthy role. Nevertheless I love animals and I always feel happy when they have a nice treatment in Zoos as well as in reserves or in the wild. We all must protect animals if we want nature to survive to development.
Surfers have flocked to Praia do Norte in Nazaré, Portugal, to try and catch massive waves generated by an Atlanticstorm that hit the UK.
Garret Macnamara

A piglet has been rescued after tumbling down a cliff and swimming out to sea off the Suffolk coast in England.
The little pig had been stuck on a cliff, but when RSPCA staff arrived it had run down to the beach and was heading into the sea.
Inspector Jason Finch said it seemed "unfazed" as it splashed in the waves.
"I thought he was heading to France," he said.
Can you spot the piglet?
"I have never seen anything like it. I couldn't believe it when he darted straight into the sea like that," he added.
"He was completely unfazed by the bubbling surf and was in the water upwards of 10 minutes."
"He became a tiny black dot in the distance... I was just wondering whether I would have to dive in myself when he started swimming in the more shallow end of the surf, so I just ran in and grabbed him."
"He was safe and sound and in good health, in fact he did not even seem puffed out. Far fitter than many I know," said Mr Finch.

The adventurous little pig was later returned to its owner.
