Sing is a 2016 American 3D computer-animated musical comedy film produced by Illumination Entertainment. It was directed and written by Garth Jennings and co-directed by Christophe Lourdelet. The film stars the voices of Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton and Tori Kelly. The plot involves a group of animals that enter a singing competition, hosted by a koala hoping to save his theater.
The film includes more than 60 classic songs from famous artists, and also has an original song by Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande called "Faith". It was released by Universal Pictures on December 21, 2016 and has grossed $487 million worldwide. A sequel has been announced for a Christmas 2020 release.
In a world of anthropomorphic animals, koala Buster Moon owns a theater, having been interested in show business since his father took him to his first music show as a child. Facing financial troubles, he tells his friend Eddie Noodleman that he will host a singing competition with a prize of $1,000. But Buster's assistant Ms. Crawley's glass eye falls out and bounces on the 0 button on her computer keyboard twice, adding two extra zeroes, and the promotional fliers showing $100,000 are blown out of Buster's office into the city streets.
