Sing 2 made its world premiere at the AFI Fest on November 14, 2021, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 22, 2021, by Universal Pictures, and in the United Kingdom on January 28, 2022. The film has grossed over $407 million worldwide against a production budget of $85 million, becoming the highest-grossing animated film of 2021 and the tenth highest-grossing film of 2021 and received positive reception from critics.

Plot

Sometime after the events of the first film, Buster Moon is thriving with his new theatre. However, he fails to impress talent scout Suki, who tells him he would not make it in nearby Redshore City, the entertainment capital of the world. Buster, encouraged by Nana Noodleman, reunites the singers who competed in his previous show, and heads off to Redshore to make an impression.

They manage to sneak in for an audition with entertainment mogul Jimmy Crystal. As Jimmy is uninterested in Buster's original show pitch, Gunter suggests a space-themed sci-fi musical that includes songs from Clay Calloway, a legendary rock star who has not been seen in 15 years. Intrigued, and assuming Clay will be a part of the show, Jimmy greenlights it, telling them to have the show up and running within three weeks.

During production, Rosita develops a fear of heights during rehearsal and is unable to keep on her role, which Moon begrudgingly gives to Jimmy's daughter Porsha on his insistence while Rosita is relegated to a minor role. Meanwhile, Johnny has been assigned to work with top choreographer Klaus Kickenklober for his part in the show but senses that Klaus dislikes him due to his inability to dance. Johnny comes across a street dancer named Nooshy, who agrees to help him out. Meena has been cast in a romantic scene with Darius, a self-absorbed actor. Having never been in love before, Meena is unable to get the feelings across during their scene. She later meets and falls in love with an ice cream vendor named Alfonso.

Ash and Buster visit Clay Calloway to convince him to be in the show. He refuses at first, but Ash changes his mind. Back at the theatre, Buster asks Porsha if she would like to switch roles with Rosita (as she cannot act). Porsha misinterprets this as Buster firing her, breaks down, and runs away. Upon learning this, Jimmy scolds Porsha and threatens Buster by nearly throwing him off his building before locking him in a closet. Suki later frees Buster and warns him to get out of Redshore City before Jimmy can kill him. Ash arrives with the crew and Clay, who advises Buster not to run and hide as he did after his wife Ruby died. Buster then decides to have the cast and crew put on the show that night behind Jimmy's back after he witnesses Jimmy insulting him and his friends on live TV. Porsha rejoins the show, while Johnny calls his father and his gang to come over and keep Jimmy and his goons at bay.

During the show, a jealous Klaus takes the place of Johnny's performance partner to try to undermine his number, but Johnny defeats Klaus with encouragement from Nooshy and the other dancers, finally earning Klaus' respect. Porsha performs a high energy song and dance number, standing up to her infuriated father and earning the adoration of the crowd. Meena visualizes Darius as Alfonso, and successfully performs a romantic duet with him. In a final attempt to stop the show, Jimmy throws Buster off of a high walkway, which forces Rosita to overcome her fear of heights to save Buster. When the time comes for Clay to take the stage, he claims that he is not ready. Ash leads the crowd in a rendition of one of Clay's songs, giving him the courage to perform. After a curtain call, Jimmy tries to take credit for the show but is arrested by the police for attempted murder.

Just as Buster and his friends prepare to leave the following morning, Suki stops them and tells them that a major theatre wants to put on their show. As the cast puts on their first official performance, Buster watches from the VIP section, proud to have succeeded in Redshore City.

Production

Writer and Director Garth Jennings

On January 25, 2017, Universal Pictures and Illumination announced a sequel to its 2016 animated film Sing was in development. Writer/director Garth Jennings and producers Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy return along with voiceover stars Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Nick Kroll, and Tori Kelly.[13]

In December 2020, Bobby Cannavale, Letitia Wright, Eric André, Chelsea Peretti, longtime Illumination collaborator Pharrell Williams, Bono and Halsey were added to the voice cast.[14] Work on the film shifted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was done remotely following the temporary closure of Illumination Mac Guff (now renamed as Illumination Studios Paris).[15]

The scope of the theatre in the finale was a major stepping stone to take over 10,000 animals for the crowd department, old and new ones designed by longtime Illumination artist Eric Guillon who not only worked on Sing but have designed the new characters in the sequel like choreographer Klaus and the tarsiers.[16] Fashion brand Rodarte designed some of the costumes used in the film.[17]

Music

In December 2020, Joby Talbot returned to compose the score.[1] U2 performed the film's original song "Your Song Saved My Life". The song was released on November 3, 2021.[18] Additional music includes songs by Kiana Ledé, BTS, Sam i, Billie Eilish, Elton John and more. The film's soundtrack was released on December 17, 2021.[19]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 71% of 131 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "Second verse, same as the first: For audiences that enjoyed the first installment, Sing 2 should prove another endearing diversion."[70] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 49 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[71] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a rare average grade of "A+" on an A+ to F scale (the first Illumination film to receive this grade), while PostTrak reported 91% of audience members gave it a positive score, with 78% saying they would definitely recommend it.[42]

Justin Lowe, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, praised the musical set of the film, calling the "ragtag cast that Buster had brought for an amateur cast, had blossomed into a full-fledged company of professional performers".[72] Peter Debruge, of Variety, gave a positive review, saying the film is "an elaborate machinery of joy, and it's easier to appreciate how every choice seems designed to put a smile on people's faces".[73] Emily Clark of Plugged In praised the film's inspiring and emotional elements, but took issue with the fact that "(Meena) tells Buster she’s not OK kissing someone on stage, and he sort of dismisses her...The whole affair made me a bit queasy thinking about how many a young starlet has received her first smooch from a total stranger at the behest of adult directors and producers."[74] However Mark Kermode gave the film a negative review, unlike his previous positive review with the first film.[75]
