OUR RATING: ★★★☆☆

Story:

Animated musical comedy sequel directed by Garth Jennings. Sing 2 (2021) follows Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) and his new cast, who now have their sights set on debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City. But without connections, he and his singers must sneak into the Crystal Entertainment offices, run by the ruthless wolf mogul Jimmy Crystal (Bobby Cannavale), where the gang pitches the outrageous idea of casting the lion rock legend Clay Calloway (Bono) in their show. Buster must embark on a quest to find the now-isolated Clay and persuade him to return to the stage. What begins as a dream of big-time success becomes an emotional reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken heart.

Best Quotes

Buster Moon: And how we doing over here, Miss Crawly?
Miss Crawly: [referring to Suki] Oh, very good, Mr. Moon. So far, I counted nine smiles, two belly laughs, and five chuckles. Though the last one could’ve just been gas.
Buster Moon: Well, that’s proof, right? She must like the show.

Buster Moon: Dream big dreams. That’s what I always said, right? Well, looks like we’re about to take this show to the entertainment capital of the world.
Miss Crawly: [referring to Suki] Mr. Moon, she’s leaving!

Suki: Okay, Mr. Moon, can I be honest?
Buster Moon: Of course.
Suki: Are you sure? Because folks say that when they don’t really mean it.
Buster Moon: No, please, please. Be as honest as you like.
Suki: You’re not good enough.
Buster Moon: What?

Hippo: Get out of the road, you idiot!
Buster Moon: Hey, do you mind? I’m in a meeting here! Could you at least give us a chance to try out for your boss?
Suki: Driver, could you please lose this maniac?

Buster Moon: What can I say, Nana? I’m a failure.
Nana: Oh, poppycock.
Buster Moon: I was reaching too high.
Nana: Honestly, one negative comment, and it’s all, “Woe is me.”
Buster Moon: Nana, come on. She said I’m not good enough. I mean, heck, I’ve just been told that my destiny, all of my hopes, and dreams, they all end right here.

Nana: [referring to Suki] Well, what did you expect? That she would drop to her knees and declare you a genius? Roll out the red carpet for the great Buster Moon!
Buster Moon: She ran me off the road into a canal.
Nana: Well, you’re still in one piece, aren’t you?
Buster Moon: Well, yeah. But…
Nana: Well, anyone who dares set out to follow their dreams is bound to face a lot worse than a dip in the canal.

Nana: Never mind what this person you don’t even know said. Do you think you’re good enough?
Buster Moon: Of course, but…
Nana: Then you must fight for what you believe in. Guts, stamina, faith. These are the things you need now. And without them, Well, maybe that scout was right. Maybe you’re not good enough.

Ash: Hey, Rick, how come you’re only paying me half what the other acts get?
Rick: I pay what I think you’re worth, sweetheart.
Ash: Oh, okay. See, I have this rule about not letting guys like you tell me what I’m worth. So, you know, unless I get paid like everyone else, I’m out of here.
Rick: This is the only club in town. Where else you going to play?
Ash: I have no idea, but I’m sure as heck not sticking around here.

Rosita: Listen, you guys, I have dreamt of performing in Redshore City since I was a little kid. And besides, I just convinced my husband to babysit for the next twenty-four hours, and I am not going to waste an opportunity like that. So come on. We’ve got nothing to lose.

Buster Moon: Alright. Let’s go spread a little Moon Theater magic.

Buster Moon: [auditioning] This is the story of an ordinary high school girl who discovers…
Mr. Crystal: Stop.
Buster Moon: Stop?
Jerry: He wants you to stop.
Mr. Crystal: “Ordinary” and “school”. Two words I will never be associated with.

Suki: Sir, I’m sorry, but seriously? You think this little guy from nowhere can get Clay Calloway in the show?
Buster Moon: Well, Suki, for your information, I am not just a little guy from nowhere. Consider it done, sir.

Mr. Crystal: Hey, one last thing. Don’t you ever do nothing to make me look bad. You got that?
Buster Moon: Oh, I will never let that happen, sir.
Mr. Crystal: You better not, or I’ll throw you off the roof.
[Buster laughs nervously]

Buster Moon: Gunter, sci-fi musical? You’re a genius!
Gunter: Yeah, well, Mama always said, “Gunter, you’re not as stupid as your papa.”
Buster Moon: No, you’re not.

Ash: Are you out of your mind?
Buster Moon: What?
Ash: Clay Calloway? I’m like his biggest fan, and I can tell you, the guy is a recluse. Seriously, after his wife died, no one’s seen him in over fifteen years.
Buster Moon: Ah. That’s not good.
Ash: No, it’s not.

Miss Crawly: Oh, look, it’s a gift from Mr. Crystal. It says, “Don’t screw up, Moon, or else.”

Buster Moon: So the story goes like this. Rosita plays an astronaut searching for a missing space explorer. Together, with their trusty robot…
Gunter: That’s me.
Buster Moon: Yes. They follow the trail across four planets. There’s a planet of war, a planet of love, a one of despair, and one of joy. And each planet will have its own spectacular musical number performed by one of our terrific cast.
Rosita: And how does it end? Do I find the explorer?
Gunter: Oh, we have no clue what we’re going to do at the end.

Johnny: Wait. You said mine was a battle scene.
Buster Moon: Well, it is, but Gunter saw it as more of a dance battle.

Mason: [referring to Buster] Hey, this guy doesn’t have it figured out, so we can’t start work right now. Did everybody hear that? He does not have the show figured out. I’m looking into his eyes, and all I see is fear. And a little bit of shame.

Klaus Kickenklober: Let’s not forget, this is Redshore City, not your little local theater. And five, six, seven, eight. Ryan, that was excellent. Johnny, you are doing it wrong. That was awful.

Klaus Kickenklober: Tippy toes. Tippy toes. I don’t see your tippy toes!

Darius: Yeah, it’s a scene from the last show I was in. I’m sure you heard of it, Hope Against Hope. Gosh, I won every award in town. The Golden Piccolo for Best Crying. The Archer Newman Award for Outstanding Hair.

Darius: Anyway, my costar, she was just like you, Gina. She was…
Meena: It’s Meena.
Darius: Excuse me?
Meena: My name, it’s Meena, not Gina.
Darius: Yeah, okay. In the future, if you could not interrupt me, that would be way better.

Mr. Crystal: She wants to meet Calloway. Big fan, aren’t you, baby?
Porsha Crystal: Oh, my gosh. I’m like so into vintage right now.

Porsha Crystal: Wait. Is this like a sky-fi show?
Buster Moon: Sci-fi? Yes. Yes, it is.
Porsha Crystal: Oh, my gosh. I love sky-fi.

Mr. Crystal: Hey, Moon, you really think the mommy pig’s going to pull this off?
Norman: Mommy pig?
Buster Moon: Absolutely, sir. Believe me, there’s nothing Rosita can’t do.

Porsha Crystal: Oh, my gosh. You guys. This is exactly like the dream I had last night. Seriously, you were all there. And you, and you, and that funny looking guy over there. All of you. And you asked me to sing for you.
Buster Moon: I did?
Porsha Crystal: Yeah. And so, I was like…
Buster Moon: [as Porsha starts singing “Girl on Fire”] Well, that’s a lovely dream you had there, Porsha.

Porsha Crystal: [referring to Rosita] Oh, but now I know what the dream meant. Yeah. She’s afraid. She’ll never be able to play the part. But here I am, and I’m young, and I’m not afraid at all.

Johnny: Sorry I’m late, Mr. Kickenklober. I was practicing all morning. I just lost track of time.
Klaus Kickenklober: Oh, I thought maybe you had been involved in a terrible accident and we’d never have to see you again, but never mind.
Johnny: Seriously? Why do you have to be so mean all the time?
Klaus Kickenklober: Because only when we suffer, can we be great.

Johnny: Honestly, if you could just give me some dance lessons, you would literally be saving my life.
Nooshy: Wait, if you’re in a real show, how come you don’t have a choreographer?
Johnny: I do, but it turns out he’s a massive weirdo.
Nooshy: And how do I know that you’re not a weirdo? Hmm? How do I know that you’re legit?
Johnny: Well, just come with me to rehearsals. See for yourself.
Nooshy: Woh. Woh. Woh. I’m not just going to follow some guy I don’t know to rehearsals.
Johnny: Well, how else am I supposed to prove that I’m legit?

Nooshy: [as Johnny starts singing There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back] I knew you were a weirdo.

Klaus Kickenklober: You think some riffraff street dancer can help you more than me?
Nooshy: Riffraff?
Johnny: Okay. Okay. Hang on. She’s just going to give me some extra lessons, that’s all.
Klaus Kickenklober: Oh, because I, Klaus Kickenklober, master choreographer, am not good enough for Johnny.
Johnny: No, that’s not what I meant.
Klaus Kickenklober: Yes, I’m irrelevant to him. I’m just a stupid, fat, old monkey.
Johnny: I don’t think that at all!
Nooshy: I do.

Nooshy: [referring to Johnny] I only need two days with him.
Klaus Kickenklober: Two days? Ha! Two hundred years, more like.
Nooshy: Two days. He’ll be amazing.
Klaus Kickenklober: Oh, really? Well, if he is, I will eat my hat.

Porsha Crystal: [acting] Take that you nasty, alien monster!
Porsha Crystal: Did I do good?
Buster Moon: Yeah. That was so good.
Porsha Crystal: Yay! Did you hear that? He thinks I’m awesome.
Ash: Okay, she cannot act.

Miss Crawly: Meena! Darius! We’re coming to you next, and I better see some chemistry between you two!

Darius: What are you doing with your face? Your face looks broken. What is that?
Meena: I was falling in love?
Darius: Yeah, Gina, listen. I’m sorry, that’s not what falling in love with me looks like. I should know. I see it day after day, week after week.

Ash: We were just discussing whether he’d consider being in our show.
Buster Moon: What did he say?
Clay Calloway: He said no. Not in a million years.

Buster Moon: Please, Mr. Calloway. Look, you don’t realize how much it would mean to have you in our show.
Clay Calloway: [referring to Miss Crawly’s glass eye] Will you stop your yakking? Here. Your friend left this on my property. And I want you gone in the morning.
Ash: [as Calloway leaves] And that’s why they say, “Never meet your heroes.”

Nooshy: [to Klaus, as Johnny nails his dance routine] Now, didn’t you say you were going to eat your hat? Well, there you go. Mmm. Yum-yum.

Ash: This is all because you lost your wife, isn’t it?
Clay Calloway: Okay, porcupine. We’re not talking about my Ruby.
Ash: Look, I know she inspired so many of your songs.
Clay Calloway: All of my songs.
Ash: Right. I can’t imagine what it must be like to lose someone so special, but do you think this is what Ruby would’ve wanted for you? I mean, you out here, on your own, and never singing again?

Buster Moon: [rehearsing] And cue Porsha.
Porsha Crystal: Captain’s log. I must take care, for I have landed on the Planet of War.
Buster Moon: Ooh. Okay, so let’s just hold it right there, folks. Everyone, take five.
Porsha Crystal: What the heck is a captain’s log, anyway?

Porsha Crystal: You and your stupid, stupid sky-fi show can go to heck!
Buster Moon: Porsha, stop. Wait! Oh, I am one dead koala.

Clay Calloway: [referring to Buster] The first time I leave home in fifteen years, and what do I find? The show is off, and this guy is hiding in a suitcase.

Buster Moon: We’ll all feel better when we’re safe at home.
Clay Calloway: You sure about that? Because I can tell you, running and hiding away is not all that it’s cracked up to be.
Buster Moon: Well, we don’t have a choice.
Clay Calloway: Yeah, well, all these years, I thought the same. But turns out, there’s always a choice. I just never had the guts to make the right one. Know what I mean?

Mr. Crystal: [over TV, being interviewed] I shut down my show because of a talentless little twerp called Buster Moon. Seriously, you should’ve seen this teeny, tiny loser. Oh, and his pathetic amateur friends. Let’s just say, whatever Podunk town they crawled out of, that’s where they belong, because it sure ain’t this great city.
Buster Moon: No. I see, Clay’s right. What we’re trying to do here, it takes guts.

Buster Moon: We cannot let that bully steal our hopes and dreams.

Buster Moon: Guys, we just got to be brave now.
Johnny: Are you saying we should fight these thugs?
Buster Moon: No, no. They’ll beat us to a pulp. We’re going to put this show on whether Crystal likes it or not! But first, we’re going to jump out that window.
All: What?
Clay Calloway: I’m beginning to like this guy.

Gunter: [as they’re being chased] Oh, I wish I didn’t have such teeny, tiny legs!

Porsha Crystal: Yeah, well, maybe I overreacted a little before.
Gunter: A little? You were like a total drama queen back there.
Buster Moon: Yeah, okay, we’re all good now.
Porsha Crystal: Wow, my dad’s going to flip when he finds out about us.
Buster Moon: Well, we’re safe for now. But listen, let’s…
Porsha Crystal: Safe? No. None of us are safe.

Ash: Wait. Moon, as soon as you start inviting folks in here, hotel security will just shut us down, right?
Buster Moon: Oh, it’s okay. Rosita’s got that covered.
Rosita: [makes a call] Norman, release the piglets.

Buster Moon: Good evening! My name is Buster Moon, and it is my great pleasure to present to you, for one night only in the Crystal Tower Theater a brand new show called Out of This World. A musical space odyssey featuring the return of the legendary Clay Calloway. That’s right, Clay Calloway. And what’s more, this show is completely free. So step right up, folks, and take your seats. The journey of a lifetime is about to begin.

Rosita: Oh, my gosh. Are we really doing this?
Johnny: Yeah, you better believe it.
Gunter: Yeah, big time, baby!
Buster Moon: Remember…
All: There’s only one way left to go, and that’s up!

Gunter: [dressed as a robot] Gunter robot activating piggy power! Beep-beep, boop-boop.

Mr. Crystal: Well, I’ve got you now, you lowlife little loser.
Buster Moon: No, sir. I’m not a loser. We did what we came here to do. And there is nothing you can do or say to change that.

Ash: It’s okay. Just sing. Your songs will carry you.
Clay Calloway: No. This is a mistake.
Ash: Please.
Clay Calloway: It’s been so long. I’m not ready. I’m sorry. I’m not ready.
[Ash starts singing “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” on stage, then Calloway thinks of his wife and joins her]

Suki: [after their successful show] I just got a call from The Majestic. They think your show is fantastic, and they want to put it on at their theater!
Buster Moon: Well, what do you say, Mr. Calloway? You in?
