When you’re a little kid your emotions are usually on full display, happiness, sadness, frustration, you name it. But as we get a bit older some of us start to hold back these emotions and keep them locked away in our brain. In the movies they imagined what it would be like if these emotions were actually characters in your head that could walk and talk. We have decided to see what happens if these emotions could sing!

Or will the next 24 hours be the final nail in this dysfunctional family’s coffin?
