Home made Jlo emotional
Her role as a woman who loses her child in animated film Home, made singer Jennifer lopez emotional.

The singer, who has lent vocals to the forthcoming animated film, said: “It was almost too easy for me to do this voice for the movie, it is a small part but it's about being distraught trying to find her child.
