Story:
Animated musical comedy written and directed by Garth Jennings. Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals. Sing (2016) follows a koala bear named Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey), who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal optimist, who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition. So Buster hires a black sheep named Eddie (John C. Reilly), who is also his best friend, to help him run the show.

Trailer:
The movie Sing is an animated movie and it also depicts the story very well with the story of a koala sir mooze who has a dream of developing his career in a theatre business as well as fulfilling his father’s dream to do so. In overall I loved the movie and enjoyed it, apart from that it also has a hidden meanings that are very applicable in real life, but there also were a few moments in the movie that I didn’t adore so I would like to give this movie a rating of 7.5 out of 9.
Some of the good stuff includes the small details that are not neglected and how well the story goes with the plot, struggle and the meaning of hard work and motivation I also liked the comedy scenes, they are a blast, but the animation is too cut and less realistic to compare with the real life scenario. Lots of stories tangling and easy lives, some scenes were unbelievable.
Rating: 4/5
I recently went to watch the movie Sing in cinemas, with popcorn and slushy, it was a great animation, it’s a town full of animals with talent, and one koala bear wants to put their talent to use, what better way than a singing competition? I personally enjoyed this animation, because it’s like a musical with talking Animals, with a hint of comedy, and kids type of action, with a twisting storyline, it has all characters like a normal town, but almost everyone has a talent, from the tiniest mouse to a raging elephant, they have it all.
I recommend that it is more in the direction of teens and children that like animation and people who like music of today. I liked it because it has all different animals with their different voices and amazing songs.
I hope you enjoy the film like I did, goodbye.
Rating: 4/5
