‘Sing’ Delights and Transcends

“Sing” is a delight. From the first song that gave me chills, to the final note. it’s an undeniably effervescent movie that thrills both adults and children.
My 4-year-old grand daughter loved it so much she refused to leave the theater after it was over. Huge crocodile tears ran down her cheeks as she hugged the popcorn vendor begging to see it again.

Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, Buster Moon is a dapper koala that presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal optimist who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it.
Now faced with the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.
The voice and signing work is impeccable with over 80 songs from the 1920’s on with a special shout out to our recently deceased stars. Matthew McConaughey plays Buster Moon, and the singers are: Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reily, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly and even Jennifer Hudson.
I went into this movie expecting many songs and gags, but I didn’t expect to start caring about the characters and their stories. “Sing” brings together a talented cast and writers for a movie that transcends. The whole family loved it so feel free to bring anyone from 5-years old and up.
