Movie Review: Sing


There must be something about music and animals -or singing animals for that matter that has humans (no matter the age) just captivated. Which is probabbly why films that feature such is effective in keeping hyperactive kids occupied (a glorious hour or two for their parents, I'm sure). 

Whatever the reason for this fascination "Sing" brings over 84 songs- (yes, you read that right) 84 songs from a wide selection of genres, across different decades to original songs and all of them amazing performances (a treat for a big music nerd for me) into a film featuring never before seen animal characters in movies (a koala and a porcupine among them) who carry such real conflicts that just draws you to them. 

Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) is an optimistic koala, whose theater has fallen on hard times (stage crews whose checks have bounced, unpaid electric bills, leaking roofs, a crumbling building-you get the picture) and is desperate for a show that will save his theater. 



Which brings his "Singing Competition" to the stage- because who doesn't love an "Amerinca Idol with Animals" right - and with a $100,000 prize money - who can resist? 

I wonder where Buster will get that kind of prize money? 

The story becomes more than just a singing competition as each of the competition standouts: 

Johnny (Taron Egerton) a gorilla who wants out of his father's gang. 
Rosita (Reese Witherspoon) is an overtaxes mom whose whole life revolves around her 25 piglets and overworked husband. 
Meena (Tory Kelly) is an elephant with a beautiful voice but who has an intense stage fright. 
Mike (Seth MacFarlane) is a jazz and blues mouse who should really listen to Darth Vader's advise and not to choke on his aspirations. 
Ash - (Scarlett Johansson) is a porcupine whose musical creativity is being hindered by her boyfriend's own ambitions. 

These unlikely aspiring singers wrestle with their own personal conflicts amindst just wanting to sing. 


There are also some surprising, nail-biting scenes that just had me so invested in the characters, I was just in pieces wondering how they would surpass the challenges in the film (and they were a lot!) 

I'm happy that the film did not follow the typical singing competition format and instead created a story grounded on its too real characters. 

The music, the songs, the dancing is the delicious icing on the cake to an already memorable animated feature. Definitely my favorite Illumination movie! Other studios better watch out! I think Illumination just found the perfect mix of heart and music in their films. 

10/10 - I was singing, laughing, crying and errupting in spontaneous applause in the film. 

Currently listening to the soundtrack on Spotify which was has been playing for about three hours already. "Sing" is now showing in cinemas!

Movie News: REESE WITHERSPOON “SINGS” FOR UNDER-APPRECIATED MOTHERS


Rosita is a selfless homemaker and mother of 25 piglets who wants to remember what it feels like to be something other than a mother and wife. Oscar Best Actress winner Reese Witherspoon is Rosita's talking and singing voice in n Universal Pictures and Illumination’s musical comedy Sing.

(Watch the featurette Be Like Rosita at http://youtu.be/3_VK-rdsnZo.)

Witherspoon proved to be the production’s ideal Rosita. Once a very promising singer, Rosita longs to recapture the feeling of being celebrated for her talents and to challenge herself in front of a live audience. Witherspoon first shocked the world with her singing talents in Walk the Line, in which she portrayed legendary artist June Carter. Praises Illumination founder Chris Meledandri: “Not only is Reese a brilliant actress and humanitarian, she has an inner fortitude that simply gives flight to Rosita. You root for Rosita at every step of the way because of the steely determination and maternal compassion that Reese gives this surprisingly complex character. She’s simply riveting in the role.”


In the singing competition, Rosita will be partnered with a Scandinavian pig named Gunter who instantly sees her inner diva and makes it his mission to unleash her incredible gifts. Their final performance will leave her family slack-jawed and appreciating her for the amazing talent that she is.

Sing stars Academy Award® winners Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, alongside Seth McFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton and Grammy Award-nominated Tori Kelly.

Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, Sing stars Buster Moon (McConaughey), a dapper koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal—some might even say delusional—optimist who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Now faced with 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.


Five lead contestants emerge: Mike (MacFarlane), a mouse who croons as smoothly as he cons; Meena (Kelly), a timid teenage elephant with an enormous case of stage fright; Rosita (Witherspoon), an overtaxed mother run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets; Johnny (Egerton), a young gangster gorilla looking to break free of his family’s felonies; and Ash (Johansson), a punk-rock porcupine struggling to shed her arrogant boyfriend and go solo.

Each arrives under Buster’s marquee believing that this is their shot to change the course of their life. And as Buster coaches each of his contestants closer and closer to the grand finale, he starts to learn that maybe the theater isn’t the only thing that is in need of saving.

Opening across the Philippines on January 04, 2017, Sing is distributed by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures. #SingMovie

Movie News: McCONAUGHEY BURSTS WITH OPTIMISM AS KOALA SHOWMAN IN “SING”


Oscar Best Actor winner Matthew McConaughey provides the voice of the optimistic koala Buster Moon who is determined to save his struggling theater despite dwindling audiences, in Universal Pictures and Illumination’s Sing.

While anyone else would have faced reality and switched careers, Buster has an unrelenting drive to succeed, by any means necessary. Well-intentioned, he does have a habit of stretching the truth, which usually widens the hole into which he’s digging himself. Nonetheless, he has an irresistible charm because his passion and optimism are utterly contagious.

For the role of Buster Moon, director Garth Jennings found one name immediately came to mind: Matthew McConaughey, whose career has spanned roles ranging from the deeply dramatic Interstellar and Dallas Buyers Club to the absurdly humorous Dazed and Confused. “Matthew realized quite quickly that in order for his character to work, his optimism had to be infectious,” Jennings states. “He had a way of making Buster incredibly endearing and incredibly relatable.”

At the very beginning of the movie, you meet Buster Moon as a six-year-old koala,” Jennings discusses. “He is taken to the theater for the first time by his father, and it completely blows his mind. This experience has a transformative effect, and he grows up desperate to be part of the theater world. We then meet present-day Buster, and he owns the theater that he fell in love with.”


As Jennings and Illumination founder Chris Meledandri developed and shaped the character of Buster Moon, each inevitably found himself inspired by this showman who—through sheer force of will—was attempting to accomplish the nearly impossible. Armed solely with a singular passion to imagine and execute an event that would truly connect with audiences, young and old, Buster is the ultimate creator.

Movie News: SCARLETT JOHANSSON, A PRICKLY PORCUPINE IN “SING”


Superstar Scarlett Johansson breathes life to Ash, a prickly teenage porcupine with a punk-rock attitude, in Universal Pictures and Illumination’s Sing, a musical comedy about finding the shining star that lives inside all of us.

(Watch the featurette Be Like Ash at http://youtu.be/Loehb4ZGtPQ.)

In the film, Ash auditions for a singing competition with her egotistical, unsupportive jerk of a boyfriend, Lance (Beck Bennett), but only Ash makes it as a finalist. In rehearsals, her rebellious nature continually puts her at odds with contest producer Buster (Matthew McConaughey), who envisions her as a pop-star princess; meanwhile, she wants to write her own authentic rock songs that reflect her unique style. Ash will have to go through a painful breakup, but in the end she’ll prove her integrity and sing on her own term

While audiences know Johansson as an international superstar, not as many fans realize that she’s an accomplished singer/songwriter—who has released two albums and collaborated with Pete Yorn. As the voice of Ash, a disaffected porcupine who has been recently dumped by her no-good boyfriend, Lance, Tony Award-winner Johansson had to tap into her inner angst-ridden teen to deliver Ash’s powerhouse vocals.

While Buster initially sees Ash as a “Call Me Maybe” girl, Ash is determined to perform the type of music Lance tried to control when they were together. “Whenever Ash comes on the screen, I just melt,” sums producer Janet Healy. “Scarlett’s voice coming out of that adorable character is just wonderful. She’s riveting.”

Movies: TARON EGERTON IS JOHNNY, THE SOULFUL GORILLA IN “SING”


Young British actor Taron Egerton, known to audiences worldwide for his work in Kingsman: The Secret Service, lends his voice to the teenage gorilla Johnny, in Universal Pictures and Illumination’s Sing, a musical comedy about finding the shining star that lives inside all of us.

(Watch the featurette Be Like Johnny at http://youtu.be/ybKWEspdoJ4.)

A soulful, Cockney gorilla, Johnny’s beautiful singing voice and passion for music are in direct opposition to his role in his father’s bank-robbing crew. He has always resisted a life of crime but has no choice as he was born into it. Johnny wants to be a singer but knows that his alpha-male father would disown him, if he knew the truth. He keeps his involvement in the singing competition a secret, straddling a double life as an aspiring singer by day and getaway driver by night.

Of the passionate ape, editor Gregory Perler reveals: “When Johnny’s father gets put in prison, he considers stealing the prize money to bail him out. He has a change of heart, and begins to work harder and harder to win the prize money instead of stealing it.”

The filmmakers were stunned when they first heard the Welsh actor’s singing voice. “Every one of our performers corresponds to their role in a way that amplifies the character,” says producer and Illumination founder Chris Meledandri. “You feel Taron’s eagerness to turn Johnny’s struggle into something quite deeply embodied, and he alternates between ‘Stay with Me,’ ‘All of You’ and ‘I’m Still Standing’ with equal measure. When we first heard Taron deliver the initial notes of one of Johnny’s songs, we knew audiences will be enchanted by his abilities.”

Movie News: QUIRKY LIVE-ACTION DIRECTOR TRIES ANIMATION WITH “SING”


While Illumination Entertainment CEO Chris Meledandri has primarily worked with filmmakers who began their careers in short-form animation, the studio's latest comedy Sing marks the first time he has partnered with a filmmaker from live action for an Illumination feature.

Meledandri, who was certain that writer-director Garth Jennings’ unique path would bring distinctive charm to the collaboration, states that their connection began long before Sing’s writer/director even knew it: “I fell in love with Garth’s independent film, Son of Rambow. I felt that he was such an authentic storyteller, and I loved that it was based on his own childhood as an amateur filmmaker.” As well, Jennings’ extensive experience directing music videos informed a curious perspective and grasp of the power of music in telling visual stories. “I had a hunch that Garth’s sensibility would be a perfect fit for this idea that’s preoccupied me.”

During one of Meledandri’s trips to England, he asked to meet with Jennings and shared with the filmmaker this seed of an idea he had. Meledandri showed him a picture of a group of four koalas and told him to imagine they were holding little microphones. He asked Jennings for his thoughts on telling a story about a singing competition…one set in a world populated entirely by animals. “I knew that Garth and I share a deep love of music and that he is a gifted storyteller,” reflects Meledandri. “We both felt that this concept would provide us the opportunity to tap into the global appeal of music-based storytelling.”


Jennings worked with Meledandri as they crafted Sing, in which the characters give everything for a life-changing opportunity. Indeed, the performers struggle with everyday problems that we all experience at some point: feeling overlooked by family, worrying about bills, overcoming barriers that prevent happiness and growing comfortable in our own skin. The intersection and narrative would be built around a theater-owning koala named Buster Moon, who first became entranced by the theater as a young joey. It was back then when, alongside his doting father, he experienced a magical evening that bent his life’s arc for good.

It is this most unlikely of heroes who proves pivotal to the rest of the characters in the story. “At the very beginning of the movie, you meet Buster Moon as a six-year-old koala,” Jennings discusses. “He is taken to the theater for the first time by his father, and it completely blows his mind. This experience has a transformative effect, and he grows up desperate to be part of the theater world. We then meet present-day Buster, and he owns the theater that he fell in love with.”

As Jennings and Meledandri developed and shaped the character of Buster Moon, each inevitably found himself inspired by this showman who—through sheer force of will—was attempting to accomplish the nearly impossible. Armed solely with a singular passion to imagine and execute an event that would truly connect with audiences, young and old, Buster is the ultimate creator.

For Meledandri, filmmaking has always been about this act of creation: how we start with nothing but an idea and—through a combination of willpower, chutzpah, blind faith, a little delusion and a lot of salesmanship—we persuade others to join our journey. “In the end,” reflects Meledandri, “if we’re lucky and gutsy and faithful enough, something magical happens: We bring dreams to life. Like Buster, we have the privilege of transporting people out of their daily lives into something better—sometimes for two hours, sometimes for much longer.”

Following the release of this summer’s comedy blockbuster The Secret Life of Pets, Illumination presents Sing to start 2017 with a bang! The event film stars Academy Award® winners Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, alongside Seth McFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton and Grammy Award-nominated Tori Kelly.
