Sinceramente ele surpreendeu demais minhas aspectetivas,iniciando ele acha que seria um filme genérico sem alma,no decorrer do filme essa teoria foi sumindo a pó e só foi melhorando,mas Sinceramente ele cumpre muito bem no que ele propõem e não promete nada além de uma história legalzinho com excelentes escolhas de música a e as músicas nesse filme foram a parte mais apurada,pra mim saber os artistas as músicas que foram introduzidas foi algo mágico.

Wasn't expecting much from a movie with the name 'Sing" but WOW it was way better than I thought, The music was actually good, and the characters and enjoyable

Genelde müzikal diyebileceğimiz yapımları beğenmem ama bu gerçekten hoşuma gitti. Belki de salonun sahibi ile kendimi özdeştirdiğimdendir , bilemiyorum. İzlemenizi tavsiye ederim.

Good music, but not tight enough plot. The majority of the characters are cliche, & when it's not on the main plot, it's fairly tiring. Best parts are the first 10 minutes & the ending performances.

This work announces the beginning of the Thing series. Personally, I would like to say that it is not a very memorable work. To put it in a good way, it's an okay, average, cute musical animation that's not as bad as you might think. To put it differently, it could be seen as just another ordinary children's musical show. However, I think the characters are all unique and fun. It's a good movie to watch sometimes when you're bored!

People give this movie to much crap. I love the characters and there interactions with the world. The animation is pretty good as well, the only thing I didn't really like was the story but it wasn't horrible.

The animation and visual look of "Sing" is excellent. The story is simple..

Not the greatest movie of all time or anything, but it's solid. Well-written, well-animated, good songs, good characters... everything about this movie is just... good. If want to watch a family movie, this is a solid choice. It probably won't blow you away, but it's well made and has some nice messages. Would recommend if you've exhausted the greats. 7.7/10

To his credit, Jennings directed this energetic picture with a sort of quick goofiness that fits well with the silly-looking characters and their silly voices.

This is a kids film but its a pretty enjoyable film for parents too I'd have thought, due to the music featured, including some classic pop tracks and some more contemporary ones too. I laughed at the pig dancing to Bamboleo in the supermarket. Its a good bit of fun. Nothing to take too seriously but a good bit of fun... yes I suppose I would recommend it.

Dedicated to those who sing in karaoke or in the shower. The story about a singing competition, and its optimistic yet cynical host, has its quietly funny moments, though the moral is well known by now. For children, especially when they have already seen all the good options.

Fantastic cast deliver the goods in a feel good animation that almost has a Muppet show vibes to it. The mediocre screenplay fails to move the needle past average but this was clearly made with love from top to bottom. Very enjoyable film with great songs throughout.

Buster Moon and his team arrive with Sing, a beautiful and charming musical type film that manages to be possibly the best lighting work

I can't believe this movie has such a low score. I absolutely loved it. I went in with fairly low expectations but I was blown away by pretty much everything. The cast are perfect, the animation is superb and the feel good brings the house down. my kids have watched it on repeat for a week and I'm still enjoying it. So much more than Frozen.

It feels like a super-fast barrage of character introductions that, ultimately, defines them all as caricatures we have met time and time again instead of people we would like to be around with or establish a relationship with. The difference here is that they are all pursuing singing careers. The plot is rather uninspired and predictable, much like the theater owner's (Buster Moon's) management mistakes that led to him starting a singing contest to get his theater re-established again in the first place. Overall, the film is perfectly "meh." It does the same old popular song and dance routines we have seen/heard time and time again. If you don't expect much from the movie industry, then you should totally dig this one.

This movie is a total fail of motivation, i would not see again even if it was given to me on DVD

Sing is one of the greatest animated films of all time through its stories of redemption brought along with all of its animated singing performances that gives its name.

A movie that is like certain actor's careers: It gets by on its charm, eye candy, and a few good songs. :) The characters have little backstory, save for Matthew **** Koala. The ensemble fails often, the time spent on all the characters isnt equal, but the result works insofar as a 'Pitch Perfect' movie doesnt HAVE to give every character 15 minutes of fame. The songs dont HAVE to impress long, just give each their minute or two. Fluff story, good laughs the first time or two.

I thought this was a really beautiful movie, well written, well acted, well animated (lots of attention put to little details, like playing the instruments, etc.) and great sang, with a cast of top actors. The plot I didn't find all that predictable and consider it more than adequate, with a solid premise and well thought out characters. The score and the songs were great. The animation was bright, smooth and on point too. Having seen Frozen II a few days ago, I certainly enjoyed this one a lot more and thought the songs were much better, even if the animation and effects were not as glamorous as in Frozen, everything else like the characters made up for it. If F II was a 6/7 in my book, this is an easy 9 and am looking forward to the sequel and what they do there!

By Far One Of Illumination’s Absolute Best With beautiful animation, A terrific cast, Catchy songs, And a lot of emotion, Sing (Along with it’s sequel) is Illumination at it’s peak.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Honestly one of the worst movies i have ever seen. The animation is bad you cant get attached to any character and the jokes are predictable.

Sing has some mildly enjoyable bits and songs but is mediocre by any definition.

Wow... this was better than I expected... I am not normally a fan of musicals either.

"Sing" apresenta-nos boas músicas e um maravilhoso elenco, com atores de voz incríveis, como Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon e Seth McFarlene. 7/10

Eu realmente gostei deste filme! Boas músicas e um maravilhoso elenco, com atores como Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon e Seth McFarlene. "Sing" não é tão bom como "The Secret Life of Pets", mas ainda assim é bom.

Illumination Entertainment has made a number of films I definitely enjoyed, such as the "Despicable Me" series, and considering that I enjoyed "The Secret Life of Pets" despite initially thinking it would be terrible and dubbing it as just "Toy Story with pets," I was very excited to see where "Sing" would take me. Ultimately, "Sing" wasn't a huge leap forward from "The Secret Life of Pets" thanks to its slightly all-over-the-place story, the somewhat unlikeable protagonist, and the fact that Illumination's trademark humor isn't really on display here. However, I'd be lying if I didn't say that "Sing" had some beautiful animation, great music, solid vocal performances, heartwarming moments, and other charming characters that helped keep it afloat. Sure, it's a flawed film, and it won't rank as one of Illumination's best, but "Sing" is still an enjoyable entry in the company's filmography, and it's definitely worth giving a shot.

The only good things Illumination "Sing" gives us are: Good action, animation, and story basis. Other than that, Sing is a rushed movie on so many aspects. One being that the whole story changes because of something so stupid and unrealistic (an eyeball falling out of a lizards head), they should have put more thought into that. Another being that they use animals instead of humans, and they don't even act like Animals. Disney's "Zootopia" at least follows the basis that they are still animals, even though they are basically human, they still have animal traits that have a roll on the story of Zootopia, Sing falls short in that. The characters really feel bland and not interesting and hard to love. Sing is one movie that is very forgettable and Illumination better pick up their act soon or just stick to Despicable Me, and even that they can't do. Sorry, but Sing is not for me at all, and it's a very bad movie thats hard to even enjoy.

This movie had a lot of potential but the final product is more or less just boring. The cliched backstories for all of the characters made for nothing new and I lost all hope when they resorted to using potty humour.

Sing is a movie that lures with the promise of being a modern day jukebox musical but ends up being a complete waste of time. Illumination was looking for another great hit since the only great movie they have been able to make was Despicable Me, but this wasn't it by long shot. It's not funny, unless you are two year old, and there are way to many characters to focus on. Thus every character in this film comes off as one dimensional and boring. with one exception, Johnny the Gorilla. The only other good part about this movie is the ending scene which is when, shock of all shock, the characters actually preform full musical numbers. you see in the majority of the film we don't get full musical numbers just pits of the characters singing. Which, for a movie called Sing is a shame. In conclusion this movie is terrible if your looking for good Jukebox musical go check out Rock of Ages and stay far away from this pile of crap.

Sing is the best that Illumination produced from My Favorite Villano (better than Pets) and in my opinion one of the best animated films of the year. One can perfectly identify with the characters and the proposal is great entertainment for the whole family. The dubbing is fine, it could have been better with real Actors of Dubs. The best thing about the movie is the soundtrack and it makes you sing it. The bad: few gags and the predictable and full of clichés that is the plot (above the trailer tells you everything). Entertaining, it makes you laugh and thrill. A very good experience for the family.

The cartoon "Sing" is an animated musical comedy film produced by Illumination Entertainment. It was directed and written by Garth Jennings. The voices were given by Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly etc. It was nominated to Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, Best Animate Feature Film. The cartoon is about koala Buster Moon, who owns a thetre. But he has financial problems. That is why he decides to organize a singing competition to attract citizens to his theatre. He sets the reward for winning 1000$, but his assistant rises it to 100000$. Buster chooses 5 members among the sitizens: Pig - Rosita, Gorilla - Johnny, Mouse - Mike, Elefant - Meena and Porcupine - Ash. How Buster Moon solves this misunderstanding? who will win the competition? That is the heart of the story! I really recommend this helarious film. The songs are terrific and the characters have their own unforgettable personalities. It is a flawless cartoon to see with the whole family. It will give you a lot of fun and you will enjoy it!

This was such a cute little animated movie. From the opening aria through the grand finale, it was captivating and heartwarming. And, what about all those celebrities doing the voices? It's been a long time since an animated movie made me feel this good. Enjoy.

A confused jumble of a movie that doesn't do much and doesn't let much happen, despite the straight-forward narrative it tries to follow. Unnecessary character backstories (and characters altogether), Dull character arcs and weird, tired comedy, Sing is a landmark for the do not's when it comes to writing.

You won't know this about me, but I have problems with Illumination. The fact that their main goal while producing movies is to make some sweet, sweet cash is insulting to me. I guess they don't make the absolute worst animated movies, like 'Norm of the North'. Maybe the fact that my expectations were pretty low before watching this is the reason I found it semi-decent. Some of the songs I enjoyed. I mean, I was having a blast once Johnny was busting the keys for 'I'm Still Standing', but the final number was easily my least favourite. And I'm not a big 'Shake it off' fan either. However, I definitely enjoyed this more than 'The Secret Life of Pets', the animation is pretty good, and some of the characters are relatable, even if it feels like Illumination was trying to force some relatability with them. There's some talented voice actors in there, and it's funny enough, overall leading it to be a decent kill of 90 minutes. But I have many problems with this movie. Firstly, why are they animals? They could just as easily be people and the plot would not be different in any way. At least with Zootopia the plot was heavily dependant on the fact that they were all animals, but not here. I also found Buster Moon's financial problems uninteresting, and a lot of the character arks are predictable and mundane. It's also hard to flesh them out given the amount of them there are, with little to no character interaction. It's probably one of the best movies we've seen from this company, but let it be known that that is hardly an achievement.

I enjoyed the movie overall. The characters were good and had good backstories. The story had plot holes, especially when one character vanishes on a cliffhanger. The music was actually good, which was one of the important things. It was entertaining and is worth a watch.

I really loved this movie!!!! Good songs, and a wonderful cast, with actors such as Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, and even Seth McFarlene!!! And Nick Kroll as Gunter, the lovable German dancing pig!!

Sing may be the most enjoyable film to come out of Illumination yet. Even more than the Despicable Me films. I know I gave criticism at The Wild Life for nothing happening whatsoever, but the reason for that is that it's executed in the most boring way out there. In Sing, nothing has been learned from Wild Life. The only difference is that the execution is much more fun. The story it tells is fun and witty, the animation is really good, and with the massive pile of characters, it's actually hard to pick a favorite. The only problem I have is that it constantly hops from one sub plot from another, which makes hard to focus on what's going on. It's even harder than choosing a favorite character. But despite the lack of focus on the story, it still passes as a fun movie.

Are you kidding me? This movie took songs and did it so poorly I was tired of it. Mediocre animation movie does not deliver any interesting or distinct characters and is too slow.

Wow where do I start, sing is my favorite animation since lion king, it has a nice story, great voice actors and who wouldn't love a dancing German pig!

Overall the film had enjoyable parts. The best part was definitely McConaughey. With talent like this in the movie it should of been great but we got a film that was okay. The music overall was good and it has some funny moments but they were far in between. The performances are what keeps the movie afloat.

Well, I can certainly understand why the Golden Globes loved Illumination’s thespian-infested movie. ​ Based around something as universally understood as music, Sing seems to be an appropriate first-time directing effort by the duo Christopher Lourdelet and Garth Jennings (who directed live action before). The result of their hard work brings a passable accomplishment by the studio’s sixth ever full-length feature, even if no studio gamechanger nonetheless. The feature takes place in an unnamed San Fran-Los Angeles-esque city painted by Miami, home to many anthropomorphic mammals, reptiles, birds, primates, household pets, cephalopods, arachnids, and whales. We focus on six mammals: one a producer, five the lucky choices for his theater-saving singing competition. Plenty celebrity voices deliver occasionally terrific singing, although the minor roles’ unfitting voices draw back the overall quality. Surprisingly however, the anthropomorphic individuals’ subplots are all masterfully balanced in their yearnings on the road to fame and fortune: Buster Moon the koala (Matthew McConaughey) wants to keep the theater financially stable after his father passed down the torch. Despite being the lead, he is the least interesting cast member, more existing to vocalize the cliché morals. Though he still plays great off the more colorful characters, including his dimwitted senior secretary, Miss Crawly the iguana. Rosita the pig (Reese Witherspoon) wants to follow her passion away from her uncaring husband and twenty-five children. She soon meets unexpected challenges when the competition pairs her with an overly optimistic pig named Gunter. This widely marketed chunk of ham shockingly gets little stage time; and I should also mention how he flaunts an indistinguishable European accent exaggerated to the point of annoyance. The immature will worship him like Moccus, leaving adults to gag a bit while watching an overweight swine in a unitard stereotyping western culture. Johnny the gorilla (Taron Egerton) wants to escape his father’s criminal lifestyle, and follow his heart for the microphone. Boys across all ages will relate to this highly soulful musician, despite a phoned in resolution to his subplot. Ash the porcupine (Scarlett Johansson) seeks public appreciation alongside her boyfriend/musical partner. While her story feels relatively unengaging compared to the others, she still brings a nice voice, especially when her guitar strums electrify her quills to the point of showering out. Mike the mouse (Seth MacFarlane) needs the prize money to pay back a bear gang who see him as a tasty meal. His ratty account maybe could have benefited from higher stakes against the law; but it does not matter anyway, for this crude comedian providing the voice amazingly makes a tiny crooner so ruggedly lovable with some spice thrown in. Meena the elephant (Tori Kelly) cannot pursue her love for singing, as her glossophobia gets in the way, with no thanks to her arrogant grandfather. She has the most poorly balanced yet easily relatable experience for all the boys and girls facing a similar fear. Together, doubt gets conquered in a unified walk to fame and fortune. So who ends up winning the competition? It doesn’t matter! They are all too introspective to notice one another, as these well-rounded individual stories have zero interweaving amongst one another. In the end, Sing cares less about teamwork, and more about getting children to worship the most popular hits by Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen, and everyone else out there (just stay through the credits, the list of songs used lasts over a minute). It doesn’t matter if the human artist singles are sung by cute little animals; accompanied by predictable fart jokes, evidence proves why this movie aims squarely toward kids with an affinity of music over rules, offering the parents nothing more than a few scattered chuckles to at least manage without booing the artist offstage.

Music is the key! It was one of the most watched trailer by me. Yeah, I liked the trailer and teaser, those beautiful songs and characters made me watch this film. Maybe because of that, I thought the trailers looked much better. I enjoyed the film, it had depth in characters than what I saw in the promotional videos. Though it is a simple story, and that worked so well. Its neither Disney or Pixer, but awesome. The good thing is the others as well getting there with par. It got nominated for the Golden Globe, but missed out the Oscars. A film for all ages. The musical is very common in animation, especially from Disney. This was a little different, a music genre. And the characters are the very special to this film to clinch the success. It could have been easily added to 'Zootopia' universe, since the two films are from different productions, that idea was ruled out. The selection of voice-over cast was excellent, particularly in the singing perspective. Recently Dwayne Johnson sang one for 'Moana'. I know the real life actors brought in for the marketing purpose, but anyway they all were so good. I liked a couple of tracks, but most of them are not original. Even the theme song from 'Zootopia' by Shakira had a small part in it. So this film is surely suggestible for anyone to try at any time in any mood. It only cheers, definitely worth spending time for it. Now bring it on a sequel. As per the latest news, they have announced which is going to hit the screen in 2020. That looks too long, I need it even before that. Meanwhile, you guys enjoy it if you'ven't watched it yet. 8/10

Definitely among the better animated movies of the past few years. I had always had big expectations for it, but I was still pleasantly surprised at how good it was.

Times have changed. What seems to be more important in delivering an animation movie nowadays? The Disney brand? Big eyed animals or girls covered in digital makeup? The plot twist? Well, that's a great recipe... to build empty movies. Sing delivers an important element of storytelling almost every contemporary movie is forgetting: The story and character building. For those who watch more than 10-15 seconds of the animation knows this: The story is about a dream. About a individual who never gives up on its dreams, and get to change the life of the ones who are alongside with it. The song they sing at the end of the movie has something to do with every character. "American Idol"? Did the reviewers REALLY watch the movie to the end? The "singing competition" NEVER happens at the movie! People are really missing the point about this movie! The animation is really enjoyable to watch. Voice casting is just right. The character construction is fairy tale level. Verdict: 10/10. Don't watch it if you expect a glittering superficial movie with no real meaning to be.

I like this movie A LOT for some reason. I know it's only mediocre at best. But there's something that keeps making me come back to it. There's LOTS of positives, but a negative for each one. For example, all the characters are very likable, but because there are so many, we barely get to spend a lot of time with them. The movie is paced very well at the start, letting us get to know all the characters we'll be seeing throughout the movie. But it falls a bit at the end when it focuses a bit too much on Meena, the most generic of the lovable cast as she just plays the role of "The shy girl." The animation is fantastic. There's a wide variety in character design, and the environment looks great. You can really see yourself in the city or town where the movie takes place. But that's also a problem. While it's pretty, it has no creativity. You could replace all the animals with humans, and they could live in this world perfectly fine. While I do prefer this movie over Zootopia's overly forced message, predictability, and mediocre characters, they at least got the creativity in the animation correct. Overall, I find Sing to be a very enjoyable movie, but I am aware of its flaws. I'd definitely recommend it over Secret Life of Pets, Zootopia, or any other talking animal movie that came out in 2016. (Except Kung fu Panda 3. Nothing beats that. Ever.) Without borrowing the plot of Toy Story like Secret Life of Pets, or a forced message that reminds you how **** the world is for 100 minutes and makes you feel all melancholy like Zootopia, Sing is able to pull you into its happy world and distract you for a good bit. Not the kind of distraction that you'd sit your kids in front of to quiet them down for a while, but a good distraction that you'd enjoy watching with your kids to pass some time on a rainy day.

This movie barely made me laugh. I saw this with my mom & autistic brother, & he liked it but I could tell he seemed bored throughout the movie; that's how I felt too. There's movies that are funnier & keep you engaged; this one didn't for me.
