Given the number of songs worked into the script, there’s a music video quality to the film. If you’re looking for some lighthearted distraction from the worries of the world right now, however, give Sing 2 a shot.

The result is a breezy exercise in karaoke for kids, where the soundtrack beats the movie and a lot of stars again lend their voices to the chorus.

A Familiar Yet Deeply Moving Musical Journey Where Beloved Pop Anthems Spark Pure Magic and Heartfelt Tears.220821 (5.0)Even when following a familiar and predictable trajectory, there are times when a film completely saturates you with profound emotion. A jukebox musical crafted from existing pop hits can feel remarkably fresh and inspiring, and for me, "Sing" has always been that kind of special work—I ended up crying three times throughout the movie. The opening where the Minions sing in choir right from the intro is utterly endearing. Watching the prodigy elephant diva Meena star as Alice in an "Alice in Wonderland" musical sequence is wonderful, and Taron Egerton delivers such an astonishing vocal performance. Reese Witherspoon's voicing of the dedicated mother Rosita is so lovely, just as captivating as she was in the first installment. Buster Moon's local theater has achieved the greatest success in their small town, yet he is burning with ambition to make it to the big city. The background score features a Beatles-style classic, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." Nana Noodleman delivers a truly wise life lesson, asking whether he believes he is truly worthy, urging him to believe in himself and act on it, while noting that if someone gives up just because of a harsh critique, perhaps they were never truly ready to begin with. Ash is still pursuing accessible rock music, having left the theater company to sing in small clubs; upon facing wage discrimination from an unfair club owner, she immediately packs up and leaves with Buster Moon, proving once again that Scarlett Johansson's charisma is unmatched. While the crew hesitates nervously about performing in the bustling metropolis, the two pigs step in to give everyone courage. The troupe conducts impromptu rehearsals all night long inside the bus heading to the city, showing true professional dedication. The soundtrack even includes energetic tracks from Billie Eilish. Johnny the gorilla has such an adorable, endearing physical proportion. Gunter demonstrates brilliant screenwriting instincts that Buster Moon initially dismisses, yet Jimmy Crystal, the ruthless entertainment mogul of Redshore City, falls completely in love with Gunter's sci-fi concept. Crystal's spoiled daughter Porsha is an astonishingly talented singer who ends up taking over the lead role when Rosita freezes due to severe acrophobia. Rosita had brought all twenty-five of her piglets to watch her shine, only to have her children witness her lose the lead role and get demoted to Monster 1, which feels so heartbreaking. Johnny's street-smart dance mentor Nooshy is voiced by Letitia Wright, familiar as Shuri from "Black Panther," making her character an instant favorite. Watching herbivores and carnivores coexist in this dazzling city highlights simmering dangers and prejudice, evoking a reflection that our human reality is much the same—people bound under the single title of humanity yet divided across stark social classes, reflecting the raw, survival-of-the-fittest nature of modern capitalism. Meena falls adorably in love with an elephant who sells ice cream; having previously struggled to act out romantic passion on stage because she had never experienced romance, this sweet crush gives her the emotional breakthrough she needed, though her shyness leads her to buy countless tubs of ice cream just to talk to him without ever working up the courage to start a conversation. Ash's idol, the reclusive rock legend Clay Calloway, went into complete hiding fifteen years ago after his beloved wife and muse passed away; Moon bluffs his way into a major show contract with Crystal by promising Clay will star, putting the entire theater in grave danger if they fail. Frustrated by Porsha's terrible acting, Moon tries to restore Rosita to the lead, prompting an enraged Porsha to complain to her father. Ash visits Clay in seclusion and manages to cast him purely through sincere, heartfelt fan devotion. The troupe resolves to stage the unauthorized sci-fi spectacle anyway, while a remorseful Porsha returns to embrace the role of Monster 1. Johnny calls on his reformed mobster father and his crew for protection against Crystal's goons, relying on family muscle while Rosita unleashes her energetic piglet horde into the theater, causing utter chaos that completely distracts the security guards. Amid the pandemonium, a mischievous piglet splashes into a massive chocolate fountain and cheers happily that it is the best day of his life, proving Rosita's chaotic family is full of joy. Taron Egerton's vocal delivery on pop tracks is genuinely breathtaking. The climax brings deeply moving tears: Johnny's arrogant, tyrannical dance instructor Klaus Kickenklober grows envious of Johnny's progress under Nooshy's guidance, taking over the role o

Filme muito foda, músicas que fazem você arrepiar, cenas que te fazem chorar e todos, TODOS os personagens são carismáticos e memoráveis

It can’t be denied that as a piece of cover-all-bases, hi-sheen, lo-thought, built-to-order corporate product, the film runs with a steady and satisfying whirr.

Sing 2 feels like a relic from another era. And oddly, a relic that really wants to sell you on U2 songs.

The movie surrounding the tunes isn’t all that, despite Illumination’s dazzling, colorful animation.

The pacing is so frenetic that audiences will likely never have more than a millisecond to appreciate the textures or the visual spectacle of a shot before it’s already zipped ahead to the next sequence, always another song and dance to see, even if it’s woefully hard to actually enjoy.

The whole of this film was to say the least very impressive. The storyline really built up well and the characters were vibrant as they usually are.

Well-animated, well-written, decent characters, good songs, neat vibe... So why did I give it a middling rating? Here's why: THE PLOT IS QUITE LITERALLY EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST MOVIE. The only difference is that some of the more interesting characters' personalities were split into multiple characters, making the plot and characters even more one-sided. It's well-made, and if you enjoyed the first you may enjoy this one even more. But I don't usually care when a movie is a bit derivative. This one I do, because it's just... so... blatant. High quality, low creativity. 6/10

Really a missed opportunity. After your first watch or even in it you will start to notice that the movie leaves you with strange questions that will never get answered. The emotional scenes were completely cut off, leaving the bland plot and few jokes on the spotlight. The whole story flashes with the speed of light making you just marvel at the oversaturated scenes without feeling something. If they gave more time for developing of the movie I think that they would have fixed the issues, but at the end of the day-business is business.

It felt like the plot of Sing 2 existed to give the film an opportunity to squeeze in hit pop tunes rather than those songs being in the movie as a way to advance the plot. This is the film's biggest issue as the characters all feel one dimensional and impossible to connect with. The constant pop music also really took me out of the movie. At times it felt more like listening to the radio than watching a film. The animation is also extremely standard for Illumination as it fails to make any improvements over its predecessor in this vein. I laughed at a few of the jokes, but the comedy was generally very simplistic and underwhelming. Overall, this is a fine movie to watch with the family, but it certainly isn't up to par with the best animated films of the year(Encanto, The Mitchells vs The Machines, Luca).
