Like its predecessor and most animated films, 'Sing 2' (also in 3D) has a message, but it doesn’t get preachy. Not to forget Bono, who’s the best when he croons his band U2’s ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’. While Johansson does a wonderful reimagine of ‘Heads Will Roll’, Witherspoon nails the rendition of ‘Break Free’. Of course, Jennings’ choice of songs for this animation musical is excellent as well. Adding to Buster’s woes is also Crystal’s daughter Porsha, who wants to play the lead after Rosita fails to perform a stunt and risks being relegated to playing an alien.Įven though thought not really out of the world, writer-director Garth Jennings has come up with an interesting screenplay of how each character overcomes inner conflicts - whether it’s Rosita conquering her fear of heights and getting back her lead role, Johnny mastering his dance skills from catty street dancer Nooshy, much to the chagrin of his domineering ape coach Klaus Kickenklober (Adam Buxton), Meena choosing true love with ice cream selling elephant while performing with her stage partner, the horse Darius (Eric Andre) or Clay returning to center stage after being a recluse for a decade and a half. How he manages to put together the musical and with major help from Ash, a big fan of Clay, to get the reclusive rockstar back, forms the crux of the story.
Predictably, Buster is in panic as he doesn’t know where Clay lives, having gone into voluntary retirement after the death of his wife 15 years ago. They bag the much-needed opportunity when Buster promises to get reclusive rockstar lion Clay Calloway (Bono) and Jimmy gives them three weeks to get the icon and stage the musical. Since they don’t have an appointment, Buster and his troupe sneak into the audition room in the higher floors of the tower where the thuggish entertainment mogul Jimmy smashes a glowing red button to reject the aspirants and even Buster’s troupe’s act, until Gunter blabbers about his space opera concept, ‘Out Of The World’ pique his interest. Buster also gets former team-mate, porcupine rocker Ash (Scarlett Johansson) to play a pivotal part in his new musical for the same. When his bid to impress Suki with his take on Alice In Wonderland fails, he gets his troupe comprising piggy couple Rosita (Reese Witherspoon) and Gunter (Nick Kroll), gorilla Johnny (Taron Egerton), shy elephant Meena (Tori Kelly) to head to Red Shore City, where they will audition at Jimmy Crystal’s Crystal Towers. REVIEW: The film takes off from the 2016 hit ‘Sing’, in which Buster Moon saves his theatre from winding up and leads it to become a bit hit locally. When the foxy talent scout Suki (Chelsea Peretti) says his take on Alice In Wonderland is ‘not good enough’, he takes it as a challenge to get his troupe of animal performers to stage a show at the biggest entertainment complex owned by the wolfy Jimmy Crystal (Bobby Cannavale) in Red Shore City, a kind of an anthropomorphic-animal cross between Las Vegas and New York).
