In 2021, the much-anticipated sequel to 2016’s Sing, Sing 2, made its world premiere 2021. The movie’s plot follows our favorite singing animals as they embark on a new adventure. Rotten Tomatoes describes the storyline of the movie as follows: “This holiday season, the new chapter in Illumination’s smash animated franchise arrives with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as the ever-optimistic koala, Buster Moon, and his all-star cast of performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet… all in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There’s just one hitch: They first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star–played by global music icon Bono in his animated film debut–to join them.”
The movie was widely praised for its charming story and excellent musical performances. A review by Next Best Picture wrote: “The film is a toe-tapping jukebox musical that’s sure to have kids dancing, making it a perfect sing-along film. However, adults will find it reasonably simplistic with a story that prioritizes the catchy songs over any kind of genuine emotion.” Aside from the cute animation, the voices behind our favorite characters make this movie excellent.
