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.

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.

6/10

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

4/5

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

4/5

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.

1/5

Sing five, heck, even ten songs well instead of 86 at random and indiscernible quality.

...a perpetually affable endeavor that benefits from its brisk pace, eye-popping animation, and raft of agreeable voice performances...

It feels a little bit like cheating to have the whole premise of your movie rely on pop hits, but if you're into that sort of thing and the musical vibe, it totally works. Super fun and a solid little story. Highly recommend watching with your nieces and nephews.
