Sing 2 (2021)
Get ready for big dreams, spectacular hit songs, and a reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken heart in the animated family feature film Sing 2. It comes from Illumination, the studio that gave us Despicable Me, The Minions and The Secret Life of Pets. The sequel to 2016’s Sing, Sing 2 was the biggest animated film of 2021 and the 10th highest-grossing film of the year.
The story follows the ever-optimistic koala, Buster Moon (Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey) and his cast as they plan to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. But to get their show on at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City, they need to win over ruthless mogul wolf Jimmy Crystal (Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale), and persuade reclusive lion rock legend Clay Calloway (voiced by U2 frontman Bono, in his animated film debut) to return to the stage.
The sensational returning voice cast includes Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly, and Nick Kroll, along with a host of new characters voiced by the likes of Black Panther’s Letitia Wright, comedians Eric Andre and Chelsea Peretti, and music superstars Pharrell Williams and Halsey. The soundtrack includes hits from Billie Eilish, BTS, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Kiana Ledé, Kygo, Sam i, Anitta, and Mercury Rev.
