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.

[@aliyaSa9649]

Wasn't that actor also in Kingsman? I knew he sounded familiar

[@Raged_Consumer]

@@aliyaSa9649 Yep, Eggsy. And Elton John was in the sequel too.

[@ronnoc841]

Didn't he get the role in rocketman because of this movie?

That scene where Johnny's dad says, "That's my son" then comes to his revelation, and repeats "that's my son" it get's me every time.

[@justpuka1754]

I cry every time I see that scene . I don't get why people hated that movie. it's actually one of my favourites

[@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)

[@eglol]

Hahaha, at least they made the storyline very interesting in Sing 2

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

MEENA not Tina. @@Svp3rN0va-xoxo

I love Gunther so you hush up!!!@@singingofsilver

[@LivingFire_BurningFlame]

I love this movie a LOT actually, and I'm glad to see someone talk positively among the sea of negativity it gets! Another win id give it is how they didn't give some forced love triangle between Rosita, her husband Norman, and Gunther. 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!

[@inkytheartist]

SAME SAME SAME!!! this movie is so important to me, and i always come back to it (and the sequel) when i need something lighthearted and wholesome to watch:)

[@slashermaster28]

Seriously, it feels like everyone who trashes this ignores the execution and how endearing the characters are and only care about “Oh, well, the story’s cliched. That’s automatically a bad thing.

the movie is definitely underrated but I really love it too it's so great someone talk about it (positively too) ❤️

[@gwynnbee-c5g]

YES these movies are actually really good why do people always jump on the hate train

[@jessicacostilla3571]

I like the short where Gunther is babysitting so Rosita and Norman can have a date night.

[@Jonathan_Collins]

Fun fact: Elton John liked Egerton's performance of Still Standing in Sing enough to approach the actor to play him in a movie. Sing is the reason Taron Egerton played Elton John in a bio pic.

[@osutuba]

I just watched "Rocketman" last night and I was so thoroughly impressed with his performance on that.

[@mlpmeg1213]

Plus they already had a good relationship from working on Kingsmen The Golden Circle together so Elton was probably like “this cool kid I worked with can also sing my songs brilliantly? He’s hired!”

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

Feeling every emotion right now, I remember when Sing first came out in 2016 and my family and I rewatched it CONSTANTLY, like it was almost cultish. That's how good it is. 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.

[@cyril6658]

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)

The first Sing movie (haven’t seen the second) is unironically one of my favorite movies. I feel like though the characters aren’t deep, they hit the heart by the realistic struggles they go through: from being too shy to sing to wanting to connect with your parent. It just hits right, y’know?

I love watching them conquer their individual struggles and gain the confidence they needed to do what they wanted: Johnny to do what he wanted, Ash to leave Lance and write her own songs, Rosita to pursue her dreams and reignite her marriage -(no one cares about Mike he's rude)- and it's so lovely

[@Astremi]

PLEASE do a part 2! Mina’s (the elephants) vocals from her song in the first movie were actually amazing!

[@ariiikat]

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

What I love about these two movies is that it feels like a proper stage performance. They sold that it was taking place ON the stage. All the set pieces look like something plausible. They also spent a lot of time rehearsing their performances they put love into the backstage and before the show, and it's amazing to see. Also you watched them out of order. Pig duet was the first performance.

Hi Mathew, your videos are so fun and Sing is about this dapper koala who owns a theater and it has fallen in hard times and he puts on one last show which is a singing competition to try and save it, because he loves it more than anything.

Sing 1: koala owner of theater sets up singing competition to raise money before bank closes down his theater, antics and shenanigans occur in this endeavor leading to the building destruction and at the end of the movie the cast do a big show just for the love of singing. Sing 2: they take their act to a big entertainment location (think Las Vegas in the USA) where with the promise of a famous recluse celebrity appearing, they set up a massive show Also for your other questions, all those piglets are her kids and she’s voiced by Reese Witherspoon (legally blonde lawyer) and her dance partner is Nick Kroll (the guy who made Big Mouth on Netflix).

[@DuckkyDay]

He's just Donkey Konging it up. 💀

[@stormsstudioartmapsandmore8592]

This is when he realized he needed to do the rest of the Sing movie like the opening scene is one to watch

[@matityaloran9157]

20:27, a down on his luck koala holds a singing competition as a last ditch publicity stunt to save his theatre from being shut down

[@miraculousdream7028]

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

[@im_therose]

You REALLY need to see the whole thing to understand lol. I actually really recommend it, even though it's for kids, it is super good and wholesome.

[@JaydenRas-yv5qw]

It’s crazy that the mouse is voiced by Seth MacFarlane He has an amazing singing voice

[@jorgecharris532]

Everytime I hear that mouse sing I can only hear Brian Griffin singing, Seth MacFarlane really can sing

I love this movie soooo much and think it's so underappreciated. I've seen the first one more times than I can count and the second one isn't bad either! The plot is essentially that the koala (Matthew McConaughey btw!) is struggling to keep up a theater that his late father saved up to buy for him, so he decides to host a singing competition, where the winner will get a thousand dollars. Each of the individual characters are shown with their own struggles in relation to singing; the pig (Reese Witherspoon!) has a passion for singing but has to take care of her large family and has a husband that doesn't appreciate her. The porcupine/Scar Jo has a toxic boyfriend who won't let her sing in the band they used to have and then cheats on her. The gorilla is part of a crime gang with his dad but wants to be a singer instead, but when he reveals this his dad essentially disowns him and then later ends up in jail. The mouse is essentially just an asshole hehe. But basically they all audition for the contest. The only thing is that the koala doesn't realize he accidentally advertised a 100 thousand dollar prize by accident, and there's a ton of chaos where he desperately tries to get more money but ends up destroying his precious theater in the process and by the end he's considered an absolute joke who should've quit earlier. After some time though he realizes what's really important and gets everyone back to try and rebuild the theater and put on a performance (in the start only some family members come, which is why there are so few people for the pigs' performance, and it's being broadcasted because they think it's going to be terrible, and then more people come when they realize how good they actually are) not for money, but because it's their passion and what they love. Although you ABSOLUTELY need to make a part 2 where you react to Tori Kelly's "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" cuz it's awesome and the elephant definitely has one of the best arcs of them all :)) Sorry for the long comment and thanks for the awesome video!!

You expressing your feelings throughout this mirrors all of our feelings when we watched it! I never watched it because it looked a little stupid but when I finally did I was blown away. It's such a good and uplifting movie!

[@KGAGamer]

Sing and Sing 2 are SO INCREDIBLY AMAZING!

[@someteennamedcharles2035]

It's quite a laugh for me knowing you're watching the song/movie clips almost backwards. The crowds were just slowly started to show up. 😂 Here's their order: Shake It Off I'm Still Standing Set It All Free My Way Don't You With Bout a Thing (don't forget to watch this next video. That's the peak of their "theater show")

[@browntr95]

Scar Jo also sings some in the live action Jungle Book where she voiced Kaa the snake if you're lookin for a different vibe on her voice

[@Mary_Studios]

I forgot that she did singing in that movie.

[@cyndrigaming]

I still chuckle because this came out around the same time as Fences. Id read that previously and knew it was devastatingly sad. But despite my warnings, mom and grandma went to see that anyway. I was like "whatevs don't say I didn't warn ya." And went to go see sing at the same time their showing was. They came out with their shoulders drenched in tears. I came out with a happy grin because sing was great

[@serenepastel]

This movie has such good vibes and I’m glad you got the same feelings just from these clips

[@insertname8812]

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

[@suebob16]

I'm disappointed you didn't include Tori Kelly's cover of Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing. She was the voice of Meena the elephant, and she almost brought down their stage with her song. You really do need to see the movie to get the context. You would love the audition scene performed by all sorts of animals covering many recognizable songs. Do another video of Meena's songs and the audition scene.

[@shellsart226]

I would also love a part two! Please! My favorites are Don't You Worry Bout a Thing, Could Have Been Me, Golden Slumbers, and Break Free
