Dapper Koala Buster Moon presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. An eternal optimist, and a bit of a scoundrel, he loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Facing the crumbling of his life's ambition, he takes one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world's greatest singing competition. Five contestants emerge: a mouse, a timid elephant, a pig, a gorilla and a punk-rock porcupine.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sing delivers colorfully animated, cheerfully undemanding entertainment with a solid voice cast and a warm-hearted -- albeit familiar -- storyline that lives up to its title.

Angie Han

Slashfilm

While not especially deep, the combination of a star-studded cast and an equally star-studded music catalogue make for a fun time.

Rated: 6/10

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Sing is by no means the first animation to incorporate the talent-show format into its narrative, but it's certainly the most successful.

Rated: 4/5

Tara Brady

Irish Times

It helps that unlike the TV talent shows that inspired it, Sing hangs on to the popular, gifted contestants instead of sticking with the hot, marketable ones.

Rated: 4/5

The songs function as hinges, but it's clear they were imposed to be the engine of the script and not the other way around; Each musical number is tedious... [Full review in Spanish]

Olly Richards

NME (New Musical Express)

It remains low on substance, but all concerns about a lack of smart subtext fly out the window when you're enjoying the spectacle of a  pig vamping to Taylor Swift  while dressed as some sort of disco Batgirl.

Rated: 3/5
