Sing

[Death Blossom]

Surprised no one has made a topic for this movie. I felt I should make one for it, seeing as it's coming out tomorrow, December 21st (according to Google). Sing is Illumination Entertainment's 7th movie. They are best known for Despicable Me and those pesky yellow dudes, the Minions.

"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."

Sing will feature the voice talents of: Matthew McConaughey (the koala), Reese Witherspoon (the mother pig), Seth MacFarlane (the mouse), Scarlett Johansson (te porcupine), John C. Reilly, Tori Kelly (the elephant), Taron Egerton (the gorilla), and Nick Kroll (that other pig).

What do you guys think? Are you going to go watch it?

I don't know. It sounds like a good premise but most of the all star cast movies I've seen recently haven't been all that good.

[Wolfwood]

Didn't interest me because I am not interested in reality tv to begin with.  If I see it, it will be through renting it or if a friend has it.

Well, I feel they picked the all star cast for the singing ability. I guess from early Viewing's people have been saying it's good. I've been seeing 7.5-8's and stuff. My family wants to go see it, and so does my SO, so I'm going to inevitably see it haha. Not that I mind, it has me interested. Reminds my mom and I of Happy Feet, with the whole singing old school songs (and new ones).

Films are becoming very sterile and bland.  This falls into that category to me.  It's trying to be "hip" with the times.  So eh, I'll pass on seeing it.

Feels like budget zootopia.

[RainySunshine]

Not interested, sorry.

[NostradamusTheSeer]

Maybe if it was a parody of the reality TV/"Idol" type show genre... but it seems pretty straightforward. Also, haven't we seen plenty of films about singing competitions already?

[Smiles2us]

It will just be a film with a bunch of licensed music and pop culture references.  Like someone said above, it is just trying to be current.  Five years from now, it won't mean anything and be forgotten.  It is a film for the "now" and not meant to stay relevant. 

[Death Blossom]

Idk, I thought the characters looked interesting. The songs probably won't be the only thing that happens.

Every single time I glance through front page of the forum, and I see, "Sing", I think it reads, "Sting." 

[Death Blossom]

Pfffff

I'm seeing this movie tomorrow! So far Ash the porcupine is my favorite!

[Death Blossom]

Mm, I like her design.

[DEEcat98]

Yep! She also reminds me of Luna from The Loud House who is my favorite Loud House character!
