Sing (2016)

Sing is a bright, fast-moving animated musical comedy about Buster Moon, a relentlessly optimistic koala who risks everything to save his crumbling theater by staging a citywide singing competition. A clerical error inflates the advertised prize to $100,000, sending hopefuls of all stripes—Rosita, a harried pig mother with secret showbiz dreams; Johnny, a conflicted young gorilla; Meena, a shy elephant with a powerhouse voice; Ash, a punk porcupine grappling with identity; and Mike, a cocky mouse crooner—into a chaotic, heartwarming scramble for the spotlight. As rehearsals, rivalries, and personal obstacles collide, the film balances big, energetic musical numbers and slapstick comedy with sincere emotional beats about courage, family, and following your passions. What you’ll experience: colorful, high-energy animation and many pop and classic songs reimagined in entertaining performances; laugh-out-loud moments and physical comedy for kids; genuine, tear-jerking character arcs and uplifting messages for adults; and a feel-good finale that celebrates talent, community, and second chances. Sing is a family-friendly crowd-pleaser that’s as much about the joy of performance as it is about learning to believe in yourself.
