Opinion

After the disappointing "The Secret Life of Pets" I wasn't expecting anything from Illumination Entertainment. Actually I was expecting something, another meh film. Instead "Sing" was a very entertaining, joyful and beautifully animated film.

Something weird about this film is the plot. It is predictable and it features all the imaginable clichés, but I actually found myself not only caring about what was happening, but I was also very engaged. I knew what would happen, but I still wanted to keep watching to see it. Does it make any sense to you? I'm still trying to understand how that's possible.

Also I wasn't expecting the characters to be that good. Although they do remind a lot of the animals from "Zootopia", I still cannot believe how developed each character was, and that was made possible by the film's lack of a single main character. We really get to see a little from the life of each.

The familiar songs fit the film and will probably have you singing and dancing along with the characters and the family-friendly humour is enough to make the audience laugh throughout the film. Maybe there's a scene where some bunnies are shaking their bums to Nicki Minaj's song that isn't very kid-friendly, but after all it's just some animals shaking their tales.

However, the message delivered - you always have to pursuit your dreams - may be a little too hard for kids to understand, and I feel like teens are those able to capture the meaning of it. But that's not really a flaw.

At last but not least the voice cast. From Matthew McConaughey to Seth MacFarlane, all the actors do a good job in their roles. I had a soft spot for Reese Witherspoon and her Rosita (the pig), her amazing voice just conquered me.
