love the movies great for kids and adults alike

Continuing on from the original Sing (2016), Buster Moon (Voiced again by Matthew McConaughey) and his ragtag theatre troops are faced with a new challenge. The challenge is unlike anything they’ve done before, to pursue a reclusive rock star named Clay Calloway (Bono) and have him join them at the opening of a brand new show. With a new and fresh storyline, a fun soundtrack and a star-studded lineup featuring Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansen, Taron Egerton certainly made Sing 2 on my list of most anticipated films of last year. And boy does it deliver! Visually, this film is stunning, well-paced and has a whole heap of excitement, Sing 2 in a wild ride that will have you laughing one minute, crying the next and on the edge of your seat moments later. Whilst similar to the first film in terms of the overall theme – never giving up, fighting for your dreams and all that great stuff – the added element of having to seek out Clay and convince him to join them opened up a whole world of opportunity for the creaters. To have access to not only Bono’s voice but a selection of U2 songs to sneak in throughout the soundtrack meant that kids, parents and grandparents alike would have a touching connection to the film through the music. You try not tearing up while a cute little porcupine with a massive voice sings a solo of “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”. Overall, it’s often hit and miss for actors’ featuring in animation films; however, Sing 2 brings out the best in the talent. The real standout, of course, is voice work from Matthew McConaughey as Buster Moon (aka the Koala). The animator successfully brings his character to life in tune with his performance was nothing short of brilliant. Sing 2 is certainly a wonderful film for the whole family and comes highly recommended if you love the first feature. *This review has been written for Sanity.
