Fun fact: The voice actor for Johnny (the gorilla) is Taron Egerton, who ended up playing Elton John in Rocketman. And the detail of Johnny standing up and kicking the seat is very much a reference to Elton's performance on stage.

[@yorunixcanon]

same, i always cry when i see that scene

[@planarian5551]

it just felt too sudden to me. The whole movie he was rejecting him, and before he saw it was Johnny he was even telling them to turn it off. Then all of a sudden, literally no development or build up, because he saw his son being successful and on tv he only now cares?? And then proceeds to miss almost all of his son's performance by breaking out of jail (coulda waited until he finished bc no way he was gonna get there on time). And it just felt like he was "hey I know I didn't care before but since you're good and on tv I'll support you". If Johnny wasn't good or didn't get attention w that performance the dad would've gone on not caring. I'm sure that's not what the writers were going for and they were probably just trying to quickly tie up each character's plot before the movie ended bc they were trying to do too much at once, but as a result the dad's apology felt rushed and fake to me.

[@justpuka1754]

@planarian5551 Hey man, it's a cartoon for kids. Calm down, alright?

[@planarian5551]

@@justpuka1754 Just bc it's a "cartoon for kids" doesn't mean it's free from criticism tho, you know that right? And in fact, should be subjected to just as much if not more criticism than if it were for adults bc of the messages it could be giving kids. Most kids prob watched that scene and thought it was sweet and that's great!! but there's a possibility that some kids could take it to mean their parents won't respect their passion unless they become successful, and that would be harmful. And I am calm, I literally just stated my interpretation and opinion, I didn't use any aggressive language or say anyone else was wrong. Someone said their interpretation and how the scene made them feel and so I did too. Do you just automatically assume that someone is angry when they have a negative opinion on something? /genq

[@LoosieGoosie42]

The movie got some criticism for having a relatively one-dimensional plot but like what more did critics expect? It's a movie about singing animals literally titled "Sing" and it sung pretty well

[@Svp3rN0va-xoxo]

Fr, I especially hate the criticism against Tina for what? Being self-conscious about her singing?- 😭 Like I get she seems like a "pick-me", or an attention seeker or whatever, but the hate is not it

[@singingofsilver]

I mean personally I loved it? All the characters (except Gunter) had two plots, one relating to their singling struggles and one about their personal struggles, and by the time the big show was over, they were either resolved in a rather wholesome way (Rosita, Johnny) or got their comeuppance (Mike, Ash)

I love this movie a LOT actually, and I'm glad to see someone talk positively among the sea of negativity it gets!

Gunther is just supportive of Rosita and Norman realizes he wasn't giving her the attention she deserved. Really good way to end their arc!

I'm so sad that you don't know the movie because the moment between Johnny and his father makes you feel even more emotional when you have the whole context and know their story. It's really the moment where a father who refused to accept his son's passion finally admits he was wrong and recognizes he should have supported him all along and it's really touching my soul because it's one of the things the movie did pretty well! I see many comments of people saying the movie's bad well honestly it's not. It's a pretty basic scenario but it's done well and with a simple story they just create relatable and adorable characters (and Mike). Really the movie's dumb in a good way, fun and the songs are killing it! Also you watching the songs in the wrongest way possible makes it really fun to see you wondering where the crowd's gone when again.... well you don't have the context we can't blame you haha

I was so excited when I'd heard about Sing 2, but I wasn't sure where they would take it considering how the first one ended, but of course, they handled it gracefully and it was also a FANTASTIC movie. I won't spoil anything for future reactions, but I was absolutely flabbergasted at one of their song choices for the second movie, I was incredibly excited and very appreciative, I loved it.

Fun fact: the one that voices mike (the mouse) also voices peter and brian griffin in family guy! Also 16:49 , the reason the majority of the crowd wasn’t there was because this was the first performance they did. The order went: Rosita and Gunter, Johnny, ash, mike, and then mina Edit 2: aight so basically originally the theater they were in wasn’t doing so great so they held a singing contest and the winner would get $1k, but ms. Crawly, (the lizard) made a typo so the fliers ended up saying $100k. At one point they tried to impress this one famous person so they remodeled the stage and filled it up with water and covered it with glass instead of wood to make it seem cooler, but then there’s this intense moment where the contestants realize they weren’t actually going to get the 100k and then the stage ends up breaking, causing the theatre to flood which destroyed the entire place. after a sad montage they reunited and rebuilt the theatre (not very well if you couldn’t already tell /s) where they went to sing not for the money but for their actual passions (cheesy ik)

I really do suggest your next video for this is to react to the movie! There's a lot of songs and there is different contexts for each one. It's about a talent show, and winning a prize, but it follows a lot of storylines so best to watch it tbh. When it first came out, it was successful but ppl thought it was overrated and 'bland', but I do think it is a great movie for being the first in a series. Not everything needs to be ground breaking provocative storylines, this movie just lets you enjoy music :D

Hi Mathew!!!! I love your videos so much! They give me so much joy! I’m in college and I listen to your videos while biking to and from class sometimes! I just back to my dorm and listening to you while riding back really helps the time fly by❤️

Congradulations Mathew, you have convinced me to finally watch the Sing movies!

[@jaybirdrosewater-holmes7071]

You should absolutely watch the movies, theyre so good and fun and even emotional at times, theyre great

PLLLSS DO A PART 2 I'm a huge fan of the Sing movies and seeing you reacted to the music genuinely makes me happy!

[@abadgurl2010]

I'm sad he didn’t see the elephant girl's song too, but maybe he'll make a video reacting to the whole movie?

If you watch carefully, the first three pulls against the prison bars Johnny's dad makes perfectly syncs with Johnny going "yeah, yeah, yeah" and I just love that

[@neivilde.1242]

the reason i’m still standing is is one of my favourite songs is fully because of this movie

[@Meg-Meg-Meg]

I love the no-context, first time viewing reactions. Keep ‘em coming! ❤️

The movie is about a singing contest. And the prize for winning is a couple thousand dollars. Which is accidentally typed and printed off as $100,000.00. There's drama between all the characters. And when Judith (the llama) threatens to shut down Buster Moon's (the kola) theatre, he comes up with a singing contest and other seemingly brilliant ideas until things go south. It's a movie worth watching.

The first part of your video had been a scene from the 2nd movie. In this movie There's Bono, the singer from U2, as a voice actor and in the last part of the movie he's performing one of his own songs together with Scarlet Johanson. It's "Still haven't found what I'm looking for" and it's a banger...

[@ArtiChameleon]

Yes finally!! I can't wait to watch this one

[@Doco160]

Sing! Is my comfort movie for sure. I watch it whenever I need a pick me up and something I know I'll enjoy xD

Yes, @MathewMcKenna, I can help with the plot: Mr. Moon (the suited koala) owns a theatre that hasn't seen business in a very long time. In order to keep his beloved theatre open, he hosts a talent show with a 'cash prize' to the winner. The few that are selected to compete are Rosita & Gunter (the pigs), Johnny (the gorilla), Ash (the porcupine), Mike (the mouse) &, eventually Meena (the elephant). They try to do bigger & better effects, all with the promise that money due to keep the building open is coming- only for disaster to strike & parts of it to collapse. In order to go out swinging, those that are still dedicated to the show pick up the pieces & put it on just to bring awareness to the place. Parts that were missing from this reaction (that woulda given these scenes some context) include: - The compilation of auditions from everyone in town, including the selected singers. - A sweet rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" sung by the character Meena, which Mr. Moon discovered her vocal talents from. - Meena's big show-stopping number, "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" by Tori Kelly, who also voiced Meena in the movie. And, to answer a couple other questions... yes, the song Scarlett Johannson sang was, in fact, an original to the movie compared to most of the songs featured. As for the first clip you saw, the wolf singing "Girl On Fire" was Ke$ha, so that's why it sounds so professionally done... because she is a professional singing it. Hope that helps- I would highly encourage you watch BOTH movies because they are very well done, even if the plot can feel disjoined every so often... the structure & how the characters grow throughout is welcoming, & the innovative care taken in revamping some of the songs featured were well done on a different scale.
