In the 20 second I saw the elephant, I knew she would be the winner because she looks so mainstream American to me.(In this movie) Pigs were Latin with many babies (well well well). Asian coons are language awkward people you don't know what they think and talk -- seems to me that you can assume and predict asian roles will be doomed in Hollywood movie (well well well). Elephants are African American but you know what, heros are always white and black.The movie was well-made but if you watch this closely, it is full of ethnic sterotype.

Sing is a movie that has a lot of great songs, and is also visually appealing but, it has unlikable characters which downgrade the movie. During it's slow parts it is very slow. But at it's fast parts it's a fun a lovable movie for the kids. 5/10

Universal must have been desperate in 2016. Though the concept of a bunch of animals going through a similar process as many vulnerable people do - with the likes of the X-Factor, The Voice, or Britains Got Talent and all those other 'Reality' (notice the quotation marks there) shows that basically repeat the same thing every season - take a breather... it doesnt work in this film.
The story is shallow. A bunch of animal characters, non who you are led to care for, audition for the false promise of $100,000 even though we were shown prior to this, that they all just sang because they enjoyed singing.
Some get picked for the show others don't. No heart strings plucked for those animals who didn't get picked. No time to learn their names, well apart from a Giraffe whose name I've forgot already.
Love the fact the soundtrack is just a bunch of songs everyone's heard already over the years and how non of the songs have any connection to the characters. It's just like Suicide Squad, the score is horrendously unrelated to the film. Anyways it's the same reason why big name actors were brought in to voice act on this film. It enticed many people to watch it.
This is a film for children, but I find that insulting really, Toy Story is for children but that has story, characters you care for, great original score and some high name actors even back then in the 90's.
It is obvious the film industry on a whole are only making movies to make money but it's just getting more and more desperate these days. There's barely any love or care in these sort of films anymore. And worst of all now that companies have tapped into the media they can promote the film through everything these days and have people believe it's a great film. Truth be told many out there believe it is. Maybe their children liked it. But many kids like just about anything like that. Doesn't mean it inspired them or taught them anything about life.
Anyways I'm ranting now and not really reviewing this properly. A mediocre review for a mediocre films.
Just a bunch of old material recycled in the never ending cycle of milking the cow until its bone dry.

While I saw this film I supposed it is child film. However it was so great. It is about animals' voices. Every animal wanted to won voice competition but anybody didn't win because of mishap. Characters are also different. I like most Gunter because it has high energy. Film has got amazing songs. The songs have written for the film. I love most Ash's song , Set It All Free. Scarlett johansen vocalized this song.
