...Well, with a sequel arriving in about a year's time, what do you think the odds are that the franchise will actually showcase some creativity in it's animal concept? Or maybe some interesting directorial choices? Is it pointless to hope? I guess we'll find out...

Especially since she was singing "Call Me Maybe", a song that rubbed salt in the wound due to it's naive viewpoint of relationships.

If there's anything I'll give Sing credit for, is that they did a surprisingly good job balancing all the separate plots.

[@mushrooms5601]

It’s illumination what did I expect

[@glanni]

This explains so. much.

[@nerdycurls6253]

It's not just ease of animation it's also a tactic used to make ethnically ambiguous characters, it's done alot in any media for children. We're actually pushed to use animals because kids like animals and "no one is excluded". Which is ironic because now everything is animals instead of kids seeing a variety of people in their media.

[@mrknowhere6457]

Yeah, I really hated how they were just animals in a human world. In human houses, human buildings, everything was bland. Remember in Zootopia they made the world unique to fit animals lifestyles instead of just putting them in a human like environment?

[@illusha3861]

Ngl, I liked this movie but the characters already finished their arcs. I don't think there's much to add- It's fine on it's own.

[@BetaSolution]

Twp things I'd like to point out, regarding Johnny most of all. When he's rushing to his rehearsal, he actually causes the accident that he later gets stuck in. It's a quick scene but if you watch that sequence again, you can see that as he's racing to get to the theater he causes two cars to collide. These same cars are the ones that end up holding him up and getting the crew busted. Second, regarding the father doing a complete 180 upon seeing Johnny perform... I can assume you weren't a father at the time of recording this video. You might have understood the scene a bit better if you were, namely that was a scene of him realizing that his son had found something that made him happy, that he was good at. He sees the joy on Johnny's face, and he hears how well he sings. It's easy to see why he'd do a 180. What father wouldn't want their child doing something they're good at that they enjoy?

[@namelessnavnls8060]

Compared to a lot of their other crap, this is actually not a bad movie by Illumination's standards. I know they missed a lot of hits with jokes and opportunities to use the animals' distinct traits. But just because you have an elephant doesn't mean it has to be loud. I actually think a shy elephant is a good subversion of expectation. It would be just like Zootopia if it made use of all the stereotypical animal traits that we seem to expect from anthro animals. And not only would it get branded as unoriginal for copying Zootopia (which it already has been, but in this case it would just get worse), but it would also defeat the purpose of both movies combined. Everyone is unique in their own ways and shouldn't have to uphold society stereotypes and standards that were forced onto them unreasonably.

Honestly, the first Despicable Me and Sing are the only good illumination movies. While Despicable Me is good for how good the formula worked before they totally murdered it with the sequels, I think Sing is good because you can tell there is a form of heart in the movie. The songs with the sets fit beautifully, the opening scene is honestly one of my favorites. Some of the cuts they do with Buster I love, and that half camera shot with Buster and his friend on the phone is great as well. The story with Johnny, is my favorite part of it, which Buster's being a close second. You can tell the movie had a form of heart, but it doesn't exactly show it due to the jokes, some bad scenes, and things that just are weird or don't make sense. Overall, it's a good movie, but not a good movie. Like if it was rated, good movie wise, for me it'd be around a 7 out of 10 good movie, purely because it's a nice movie to watch from time to time.

the point of the crash in Johnny's scene was that his hurrying to the theatre is what caused the collision in the first place, the animals in question weren't a gag it was just a random Bull and Baboon.

In all fairness, many movies or cartoons with animals hardly ever make the fact that the characters are animals the main focus of the story.

[@flask223]

I don’t mind that

[@TheAlmightyD00dlebug]

The one thing I really liked about Sing was that the world isn't at all adjusted for the different sized animals. For the most part at least. The elephants squeeze through doors, the giraffe has to duck his head to get through a doorway in the beginning, Moon and the mouse have to climb a lot to get to eye level. It's really subtle and I've always liked watching how they moved through a world set with a general size in mind, rather than how zootopia had a lotta places completely customized to the animals of specific sizes.

[@TheSaltwaterRoom]

Bacon I like how you complained about the fart joke while complaining you didn't have a species related quip. The buffalo like most bovines are known for farting like a lot. And in the prison scene there was a tortoise and a hare. And on the Zootopia being better, I'd prefer what it was supposed to be before they changed the main charecter to Judy like you should really check out the deleted scenes especially the collaring concept in the original version of the polar bear cub who gets so happy he's finally becoming an adult and getting his collar only to be shocked by it because he's showing too much emotion and it shows why most carnivores are still seen as stoic despite the collar concept

[@kingtiger3390]

I don't get why people really insist of there being a reason for characters being animals. I can only see people complaining about it being really cliche if all the movie did was to play off their animal species all the time.

I actually thought Angry Birds is a bad adaptation of the game that I used to play as a kid.

That's relatable for me considering the fact that I have stress and anger issues and I think that kind of lesson really helped me a lot.
