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.
