After watching Sing, I concluded that the movie was semi-decent. The story was interesting, the songs were good, etc. My problems with the movie was the fact that "Dream On" was played in the trailer, but it was not in the movie. That is annoying. The other problem I had was the plot seemed to go all over the place. It's a good family movie to see this holiday season, but do not expect it to be quality like Secret Life of Pets or Despicable Me. Expand

This is amazing. One of the best animated features of 2016. The characters are so unique, and the plot, it's not all about singing, you know. That is exactly what makes this movie so amazing.

One can perfectly identify with the characters and the proposal is great entertainment for the whole family. The dubbing is fine, it could have been better with real Actors of Dubs. The best thing about the movie is the soundtrack and it makes you sing it. The bad: few gags and the predictable and full of clichés that is the plot (above the trailer tells you everything). Entertaining, it makes you laugh and thrill. A very good experience for the family. Expand

A Touching and Moving Animal American Idol

A Touching and Moving Animal American Idol

In 2007, Christopher "Chris" Meledandri, the founder and current CEO of Illumination Entertainment, founds his own animation film production company after having been President of 20th Century Fox Animation and supervised and produced movies such as "Ice Age", its sequel "Ice Age: The Meltdown", among others. Three years later, "Despicable Me" seeps in worldwide movie show-times as a joyful, energetic and mostly invigorating feature film. Since then, the company has been rising, collecting recognition and purification which are credited to its works. With discrepant spin-offs, sequels, and original ideas, they've been working on providing an annual film, and while 2011 didn't release any new project, they challenge themselves this year like the major studios with two films filled with magic, spirit, and exultation. After "The Secret Life of Pets" of Chris Renaud and Yarrow Cheney, arrives the seventh one and the first animated musical of the Universal Pictures section. The factory shows clearly conviction deposited in its product, since it has been a pretty competitive year in the matter, and even story lines of this film have been outlined in other projects, putting it at great risk around to the unpleasant and subjective paradigms. However, there are inexplicably films of which you cannot hate, even though you know that something goes wrong, well this is the case.

In a universe where humans are substituted by animals, it's ordinary to glimpse a giraffe jogging, a lizard talking or a zebra cooking. In this domesticated world is set Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey), a koala owner of a fluctuating theater which is falling apart due to the almost non-existent income. He hopes to become a virtuoso host and rebuilds the theater, which his father bequeathed him; so announces a singing competition without restrictions or impediments, anyone who considers that can hum has the possibility of auditing in the proscenium. After a grueling knockout round, there are five shortlisted contenders to fight for the tempting award, a prize that has been altered by mistake. The finalists are intended to be a heterogeneous group: Rita (Reese Witherspoon), a housewife and mother of 25 piglets should be related a lover pop culture pig, Gunter (Nick Kroll); an egotistical and individualistic small mouse, Mike (Seth Macfarlane); a teenage elephant with stage panic, Meena (Tori Kelly); a young bouncer who wants categorically a different tomorrow from his family gives him, Johnny (Taron Egerton) and a rocker porcupine with an amorous deception, which impels her to emerge as a soloist; Ash (Scarlett Johansson). Around these plots, the story succumbs in well-known territories, however, it comes out unscathed thanks to the thoughtful and authentic connection with their characters; a story that finds its main propellant in the wonderful inspiration.

In times where scrupulousness for accuracy and concentration for detail ruled in "Zootopia" or "Kubo and the Two Strings", many people consider that the film does not take hold in visual terms regarding its predecessors, placing emphasis repeatedly in the facial gestures scarcity and poor worked textures, however, contrary to what many declares, I encounter this one even more effective since they put the organic aside for going deeper in significant features for development, it should be noted that the above does not mean that the movie perishes visually, it's gorgeous on the essentials; but evidently dissimilar against its competitors. It's noteworthy that Illumination has joined the trend of concealing different easter eggs among its films in order to generate a kind of not confirmed interconnection among them, clearly highlighting the masks used by gorillas in the robberies, the iconic and unforgettable face of Snowball of "The Secret Life of Pets".

Music is a vital issue, therefore they inject covers of 65 different artists, which ranging from Ariana Grande's low notes to the exquisite polyphony of Frank Sinatra. Katy Perry, Kanye West, Sam Smith, The Beatles, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj lead the melodic lists artfully personified, linked and adorned by particularly humorous circumstances. In addition to this, the film also conceived two own songs: "Faith", performed by Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande and "Set it All Free" sung by incredible Johansson.

The last card of the ascending study is an uplifting, noticeably touching and fertile in laughs reality show that will return you the hope of finding simple films with teachings so important. With animation standards of the seventh art in these days, "Sing" may not be an aesthetic pearl, but who longs for sensational animals and computerized voices when you have Taron Egerton singing to the dreams, to Scarlett Johansson as a mother and model or to Mathew McConaughey keeping alive the illusion of dreaming and fighting; any human being would swap one thing for other.

In a world of anthropomorphic animals, optimistic koala Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) is the owner of a music theater, having been interested in show-business ever since his father took him to his first music show when he was a child. HisIn a world of anthropomorphic animals, optimistic koala Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) is the owner of a music theater, having been interested in show-business ever since his father took him to his first music show when he was a child. His assistant is a slightly senile green iguana named Ms. Karen Crawley (Garth Jennings), who has a glass eye (which pops out at times). Lately, Buster's theater is in financial trouble due to showing productions that have bombed, and his theater is in danger of closing down. Buster tells his friend, Suffolk sheep Eddie Noodleman (John C. Reilly), that he will try and save his theater from closure by hosting a singing competition, with the prize being $1000, despite having only random stuff in his briefcase.
Buster isn't the only one in a crisis, as other animals in the city have issues of their own. Rosita (Reese Witherspoon) is a talented singer, but has given up her dreams of performing to raise 25 unruly children and is constantly neglected by her workaholic husband, Norman (Nick Offerman). Meena (Tori Kelly) has a great singing voice, but has severe stage fright, causing her pushy grandfather (Jay Pharoah) to pressure her to face her fear. Mike (Seth MacFarlane) is a street musician who plays the saxophone but doesn't make easy money, prompting him to threaten people into giving him cheap profits. Johnny (Taron Egerton) is the son of mobster Big Daddy (Peter Serafinowicz) who wants him to follow in his criminal footsteps, but Johnny aspires to be a singer. Punk-rocker Ash (Scarlett Johansson) is in a band with her boyfriend Lance (Beck Bennett) who is critical of her rocking style.
While printing fliers for the competition, Ms. Crawley's glass eye causes her to accidentally print $100,000 as the prize money instead of $1,000. Before the fliers can be checked, they are accidentally blown out of Buster's office drawing lots of candidates around the city including Johnny, Meena, Ash, Rosita, and Mike. After holding auditions with a turnout greater than expected, Buster picks Mike, Johnny, Rosita, Ash, and a few others to be in the contest. Meena's stage fright causes her to bomb her audition, Lance is dismissed from the contest when he auditions with Ash, and Rosita is partnered with another pig contestant named Gunther (Nick Kroll) to be in a dancing routine. Soon enough, Buster discovers Ms. Crawley's error when Eddie shows him the flier, but instead of telling the contestants of the mistake and of the true prize of $1,000, he tries to get enough money for the promised reward.
Convinced by her grandfather, Meena tries to get Buster to give her another audition, but due to some technical difficulties, she is hired as a stage hand instead. After some of the animals quit, Rosita, Mike, Johnny, Gunther, Ash, and (eventually) Meena are the only ones left in the show. However, their individual problems begin to hinder rehearsals, such as Rosita floundering in her dance routine with the glory hog Gunther, Ash suffering from immense heartbreak when she thinks Lance cheated, Johnny inadvertently letting his dad be arrested during a heist in the shipping lanes, Meena's stage fright, and Mike owing money to a mob of bears when he cheats in a card game. Buster visits Eddie to convince him to get his grandmother Nana Noodleman (Jennifer Saunders) to host the reward money for the show. When they visit Nana, she accepts their offer, but in a snobbish manner. On the day Nana Noodleman comes, the bear mob who Mike earns the ire from come and demand the money from Buster, but his suitcase is full of junk, leading the others to turn on Buster for his deception. Before Buster can face anyone's wrath, a glass tank full of luminescent squids shatters and floods the theater, evicting everyone from it. After Nana leaves in a huff, the theater literally comes crashing down.
Homeless and crestfallen, Buster takes up residence at Eddie's house. News of what transpired at the theater hits the airwaves and Buster is ridiculed, further diminishing his confidence. The contestants visit him and try to cheer him up, but Buster is too despondent to listen to them, so they leave. Buster tries to earn his keep by opening a car wash, using the same bucket that his dad used to pay for Buster's theater. Eddie, unwilling to see Buster so miserable, reminds him of what Buster had told him before: "Once you hit rock bottom, there's nowhere else to go but up."
After hearing Meena sing in the remains of the theater, Buster's confidence is renewed and he reinstates the show, leading everyone (including Rosita and Meena's families) to come. Mike bails out when he learns that the prize money is omitted, but soon returns to show his stuff.

The voice cast is simply superb. Matthew McConaughey, after his great turn in Kubo and the Two Strings, gives another outstanding vocal performance. Tori Kelly and Taron Egerton are amazing. The music is tremendous, great selection. A lot of laugh-out-loud lines, one classic sequence (the carwash) and, surprisingly, it veres from very funny to incredibly moving. Great for kids and adults. Surprisingly, one of the very best animated films in a great year for animation - especially surprising coming from Illumination whose work I have never previously appreciated. A perfect Christmas film, warm hearted and kind. Expand

It certainlyIt’s been said that the most powerful story is one that can be distilled to a single, simple, easy to understand idea. The more complex the idea the harder it is for emotional content to be connected to (or absorbed from) it. It certainly makes sense from a marketing perspective if not necessarily an artistic one; easily understood is easily sold.
From that point of view, Sing makes perfect sense. Animate some current pop songs with anthropomorphic animals to add in some fun animation antics and sit back. It’s a similar idea to the one behind stuff like Glee and Pitch Perfect but with more dancing pigs. It doesn’t really make sense in any other way, but that’s not particularly a deal breaker.
The big driver is diminutive showman Buster Moon (McConaughey), the world’s best worst theater producer. In love with musical theater since he was a child, Moon has been trying to make a go with his own theater for years but has come up with nothing but disappointment. On his last leg and with the bank threatening foreclosure, Moon has one last brainstorm – a singing competition that will both discover new talent and get the city invested in seeing one of their own make it to the big time.
When a type-o in his competition flyer brings singers out of the woodwork, Buster is beset with more talent than he knows what to do with, including overworked housewife Rosita (Witherspoon), gangster-in-training Johnny (Egerton), brash lounge singer Mike (MacFarlane), wannabe punk rocker Ash (Johansson), and shy shower singer Meena (Kelly). But it will all be for naught if he can’t get them to gel as an act or get anyone to come and watch, something he’s never particularly excelled at.
Simple ideas can have entertainment value and for all its lack of an animating idea (no pun intended), and when Sing does what it sets out to do, it’s a solid time. It basically has two things to offer and not much else. The first is well-cast and directed voice work, primarily McConaughey. Buster is an irrepressible spirit, endlessly optimistic no matter what obstacles are thrust in his path.
McConaughey imbues him with a can-do spirit and joy to be doing what he loves that his perseverance despite his failure is both funny and believable. He also eats up most of the screen time as his co-stars are constantly balanced against each other in order to keep their own stories understandable (if not developed) and reflect more light on Buster. And sing their songs really well, which they do. Egerton is a particular find and could easily have a career as a pop star if he decided to give up the whole acting thing.
Beyond existing to have a place for the voice acting to emanate from the characters, Sing doesn’t have a lot to offer. They are necessary evils for source music delivery and so that producers Illumination (Despicable Me) can practice the imaginative gag construction they’ve become so good at. From Buddy’s desperate attempts to fix his ailing theater to a very personal car wash, Sing’s sight gags are where it’s real innovation can be found.

Though not a particularly original idea (CGI animals do singing contest) there are enough clever ideas and laughs in this film to make it easily worth the price of entry. Children will love it, and parents will relate to the characters as well.

Music is the key!

It was one of the most watched trailer by me. Yeah, I liked the trailer and teaser, those beautiful songs and characters made me watch this film. Maybe because of that, I thought the trailers looked much better. I enjoyed the film, it had depth in characters than what I saw in the promotional videos. Though it is a simple story, and that worked so well.

Its neither Disney or Pixer, but awesome. The good thing is the others as well getting there with par. It got nominated for the Golden Globe, but missed out the Oscars. A film for all ages. The musical is very common in animation, especially from Disney. This was a little different, a music genre. And the characters are the very special to this film to clinch the success.

It could have been easily added to 'Zootopia' universe, since the two films are from different productions, that idea was ruled out. The selection of voice-over cast was excellent, particularly in the singing perspective. Recently Dwayne Johnson sang one for 'Moana'. I know the real life actors brought in for the marketing purpose, but anyway they all were so good.

I liked a couple of tracks, but most of them are not original. Even the theme song from 'Zootopia' by Shakira had a small part in it. So this film is surely suggestible for anyone to try at any time in any mood. It only cheers, definitely worth spending time for it. Now bring it on a sequel. As per the latest news, they have announced which is going to hit the screen in 2020. That looks too long, I need it even before that. Meanwhile, you guys enjoy it if you'ven't watched it yet.

Even more than the Despicable Me films. I know I gave criticism at The Wild Life for nothing happening whatsoever, but the reason for that is that it's executed in the most boring way out there. In Sing, nothing has been learned from Wild Life. The only difference is that the execution is much more fun. The story it tells is fun and witty, the animation is really good, and with the massive pile of characters, it's actually hard to pick a favorite. The only problem I have is that it constantly hops from one sub plot from another, which makes hard to focus on what's going on. It's even harder than choosing a favorite character. But despite the lack of focus on the story, it still passes as a fun movie. Expand

The characters are very interesting, especially Johnny the Gorilla, and the music numbers make the film even more fun. Surprisingly though, the film didn't quite live up to the mark in terms of story arc for its numerous characters or even in the humor department. Yes there were a number of funny parts, but after productions like Despicable Me and Minions, I had expected a little more amusment. However, the story is solid and this film is sure to excite every member of the whole family. Expand

Adorable, fun, and a movie that will have you tapping your feet and wanting to sing along.

Animated movies will always have a soft spot in my heart. They warm my soul, make me feel like a child again, and usually always tug at my heartstrings. This movie combined humor, music, and love. Not a love story kind of love, but a deeper kind of love. It was smart, and it was smacked with stars–literally and figuratively.

Everyone loves an underdog. If you say you don’t, you’re lying. Matthew McConaughey voices Buster Moon, a passionate koala theater owner struggling to make ends meet. He hasn’t had a successful show in years, he can’t pay his employees, and the bank won’t stop calling. In a moment of desperation, he decides to plan one last show, one that he thinks will save his theater and the Moon family name. A singing competition. He rounds up the last of his money as a cash reward and has his assistant, Ms. Crawl, to print out flyers for the event on the last bit of paper they have in the office. Ms. Crawl is a lizard with one eye, who seems to always be losing her fake glass eye, and while typing up the flyers for the event, she makes a grave mistake. What was supposed to read as a $1000 prize accidentally gets printed as a $100,000 prize.

In the meantime, we have also met the rest of the main cast. They are collectively a group of talented singers, struggling living a normal everyday life all with the same passion: singing. We meet Rosita, voiced by Reese Witherspoon, a stay at home mother of 25 piglets. She longs for a life outside of staying at home all day, and her husband barely seems to notice her anymore. Ash, Scarlett Johansson, is a porcupine in a two person band with her egocentric boyfriend who tells her constantly that she isn’t good enough to be heard. Meena, a shy elephant with a voice that will knock your socks off, being voiced by Tori Kelly what more could you expect? Mike is a little mouse with a big ego. He sings on the streets and has dreams to live a lavish lifestyle, Seth MacFarlane couldn’t have been a better choice for this character. And finally, quite possibly my favorite character of the movie, a gorilla named Johnny, voiced by Taron Egerton. Johnny’s family is involved in a shady gang, and Johnny wants out. He’s too sweet for the lifestyle and just wants to do what he loves most–sing. But he won’t do anything to disappoint his father.

They all enter the singing competition. There is a lot of different talent in the competition, as you see on actual singing competitions on television. Buster picks his favorites and the competition begins. Of course, then he learns of the mistake on the flyer, and now has to come up with $99,000 for the prize money. Now, without giving away any major spoilers for the movie, that is all I can really report on, but it is worth the money to take your kids! They’ll love it and so will you.

This movie is truly enjoyable for people of all ages. It has enough depth that parents or older siblings, or just adults like me who love children’s movies as well, can watch and not be bored. The kids will love the different animal characters, and they’ll love the humor. It’s cute and fun, and it will make you laugh. There will be moments you feel sad. It teaches valuable life lessons for people of all ages. And the ending is perfect. No story line is left with a loose end.

Ultimately, "Sing" wasn't a huge leap forward from "The Secret Life of Pets" thanks to its slightly all-over-the-place story, the somewhat unlikeable protagonist, and the fact that Illumination's trademark humor isn't really on display here. However, I'd be lying if I didn't say that "Sing" had some beautiful animation, great music, solid vocal performances, heartwarming moments, and other charming characters that helped keep it afloat. Sure, it's a flawed film, and it won't rank as one of Illumination's best, but "Sing" is still an enjoyable entry in the company's filmography, and it's definitely worth giving a shot. Expand

Times have changed. What seems to be more important in delivering an animation movie nowadays? The Disney brand? Big eyed animals or girls covered in digital makeup? The plot twist? Well, that's a great recipe... to build empty movies.

Times have changed. What seems to be more important in delivering an animation movie nowadays? The Disney brand? Big eyed animals or girls covered in digital makeup? The plot twist? Well, that's a great recipe... to build empty movies.
Sing delivers an important element of storytelling almost every contemporary movie is forgetting: The story and character building.
For those who watch more than 10-15 seconds of the animation knows this: The story is about a dream. About a individual who never gives up on its dreams, and get to change the life of the ones who are alongside with it. The song they sing at the end of the movie has something to do with every character.
"American Idol"? Did the reviewers REALLY watch the movie to the end? The "singing competition" NEVER happens at the movie! People are really missing the point about this movie!
The animation is really enjoyable to watch.
Voice casting is just right.
The character construction is fairy tale level.
Verdict: 10/10. Don't watch it if you expect a glittering superficial movie with no real meaning to be.

Who: Matthew McConaughey, ScarJo, Ted, The Ghost of Stonewall Jackson, and a ton of other people you totally didn't know could sing.
What: A fun kids film with a wide range of pop songs to back it up.
Where: A universe almost exactly like Zootopia, but there's a lot more singing.
When (Can I watch again): Whenever you have Elton John stuck in your head and you have to babysit some kids.
Why: This movie has nothing on Pixar, but it's still a fun watch with catchy tunes.

It was directed and written by Garth Jennings. The voices were given by Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly etc. It was nominated to Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, Best Animate Feature Film. The cartoon is about koala Buster Moon, who owns a thetre. But he has financial problems. That is why he decides to organize a singing competition to attract citizens to his theatre. He sets the reward for winning 1000$, but his assistant rises it to 100000$. Buster chooses 5 members among the sitizens: Pig - Rosita, Gorilla - Johnny, Mouse - Mike, Elefant - Meena and Porcupine - Ash. How Buster Moon solves this misunderstanding? who will win the competition? That is the heart of the story!
I really recommend this helarious film. The songs are terrific and the characters have their own unforgettable personalities. It is a flawless cartoon to see with the whole family. It will give you a lot of fun and you will enjoy it!

Eu realmente gostei deste filme! Boas músicas e um maravilhoso elenco, com atores como Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon e Seth McFarlene. "Sing" não é tão bom como "The Secret Life of Pets", mas ainda assim é bom.

I thought this was a really beautiful movie, well written, well acted, well animated (lots of attention put to little details, like playing the instruments, etc.) and great sang, with a cast of top actors.

The plot I didn't find all that predictable and consider it more than adequate, with a solid premise and well thought out characters. The score and the songs were great. The animation was bright, smooth and on point too.

Having seen Frozen II a few days ago, I certainly enjoyed this one a lot more and thought the songs were much better, even if the animation and effects were not as glamorous as in Frozen, everything else like the characters made up for it. If F II was a 6/7 in my book, this is an easy 9 and am looking forward to the sequel and what they do there!

A movie that is like certain actor's careers: It gets by on its charm, eye candy, and a few good songs. :)

The characters have little backstory, save for Matthew MacConaughey's Koala.
The ensemble fails often, the time spent on all the characters isnt equal, but the result works insofar as a 'Pitch Perfect' movie doesnt HAVE to give every character 15 minutes of fame.
The songs dont HAVE to impress long, just give each their minute or two.
Fluff story, good laughs the first time or two.

People give this movie to much crap. I love the characters and there interactions with the world. The animation is pretty good as well, the only thing I didn't really like was the story but it wasn't horrible.
