This circles back to this current review, which is examining Sing’s 2021 sequel project titled Sing 2. In the end, I think 2016’s Sing was a great animated film and had plenty of colorful distraction for both young and old viewers out there and an even greater rolodex of music to sing and dance to throughout. For me, the success of Sing was well-met and was probably one of the better releases from the studio from one of their non-Despicable Me endeavors. Personally, my favorite one of the entire film was Taron Egerton’s character of Johnny sing Elton John’s “I’m still standing”, which felt lent some credibility Egerton playing the iconic musician a few years in the 2019 film Rocketman. Plus, I couldn’t forget to mention all of the songs that are presented in the film, with Sing having a collection of songs that wonderfully song by its cast. It was great feature that had a talented selection of actors and actress voicing a plethora of colorful characters (both major or minor ones) as well as having a lighthearted story of dreams and ambitions. Thus, 2016’s Sing was one of those one that I neglected to review, which is my bad and a bit interesting because I loved the movie. Unfortunately, this one was of the movies that sort of “fell through the cracks” for me as I saw it when it was released in theaters (I think I saw it the week after it opened), but I actually never did a review for the film as chose to complete a few other ones and then proceeded to work on reviews for 2017 films that were coming out. I thought it was a fun, energetic, and musically charged animated film that deserves a lot of the praise that it has received. As all face their own personal obstacles, the big question remains….will the show be ready for its opening night?Ĭan I just say that I am a big fan of Illumination Entertainment’s Sing. As things begin to set into motion for the new show, Buster’s fellow friends and performers endure various challenges to their self-esteem, with Johnny (Taron Egerton) struggles with his choreography maneuvers, Meena (Tori Kelly) afraid about kissing her co-star, and Rosita (Reese Witherspoon) being replaced as in the show’s lead, with Jimmy’s daughter, Porsha (Halsey), taking over the part. Jimmy takes the bait, offering the trope a three weeks of rehearsal time and a theater for the undertaking of the new show, forcing Buster, along with punk rock guitarist Ash (Scarlett Johansson), to figure out how to contact Clay and talk him into returning to the stage. Before another rejection door closes shut, Buster makes a promise for a brand new show, which the reclusive rock star Clay Calloway (Bono) will appear in his new production, a space-themed musical show titled “Out of this World”. Determined to prove his worth, Buster and his performers travel to Redshore City, a prime location destination filled with the biggest talents and glamorous theaters, inspiring the koala to impress Jimmy with his team. However, his newest show has suffered a “hard pass” rejection from big-wig talent scout Suki Lang (Chelsea Peretti), who works for showbiz media mogul Jimmy Crystal (Bobby Cannavale). Does this latest installment find its singing voice or is it sequel endeavor that hits a sour note?ĭetermined optimist Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) has created a successful theater, selling out to shows left and right. Now, years later, it’s time to “dream big dreams” all over again as Universal Pictures / Illumination Entertainment and director Garth Jennings present the follow-up sequel with the release of Sing 2. The film went on to become a box office success by raking in over $634 million worldwide against its $75 million production budget. Sing was largely a success receiving positive reviews from critics and moviegoers alike, who praise the film’s narrative of which emphasized covers songs of over 60 from famous artist yesteryear and today as well as telling a cute and heartwarming tale of those finding their voice in music. Directed by Garth Jennings, the film, which starred the voice talents of Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Tori Kelly, Nick Kroll, and Taron Egerton, follows the koala Buster Moon, a struggling theater owner who holds a singing competition to save his failing theatre, as well how the same competition interferes with the personal lives of its contestants, who share their own dreams and challenges to face. All creatures great and small! Back in 2016, Illumination Entertainment (under the umbrella banner of Universal Pictures) released the movie Sing, an animated cartoon feature film that found its way into a musically charged atmosphere and entertainment.
