Illumination Entertainment and
Universal Pictures have released a new trailer for Garth Jennings' (Son of
Rambow, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) Sing, an animated musical comedy
centered on finding the shining star that lives inside all of us.
Sing stars Matthew McConaughey
as a dapper Koala called Buster Moon who presides over a once-grand theater
that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal optimist who loves his
theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Now facing the crumbling
of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to
its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.
Five lead contestants emerge.
A mouse (Seth MacFarlane) who croons as smoothly as he cons, a timid teenage
elephant (Tori Kelly) with an enormous case of stage fright, an overtaxed
mother (Reese Witherspoon) run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets, a young
gangster gorilla (Taron Egerton) looking to break free of his family’s
felonies, and a punk-rock porcupine (Scarlett Johansson) struggling to shed her
arrogant boyfriend and go solo. Each animal arrives under Buster’s marquee believing
that this is their shot to change the course of their life.
Also starring John C. Reilly,
Leslie Jones, Nick Offerman, Peter Serafinowicz, Jennifer Saunders, Nick Kroll,
and Jay Pharoah, Sing opens in theaters on December 21.
Illumination has captivated
audiences all over the world with the beloved hits Despicable Me, Dr. Seuss’
The Lorax, Despicable Me 2 and Minions, now the second-highest-grossing
animated movie in history. Following the release of The Secret Life of Pets in
summer 2016, Illumination presents Sing at the holidays. Matthew McConaughey,
Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron
Egerton and Tori Kelly star in a musical comedy about finding the shining star
that lives inside all of us.
Featuring more than 85 hit
songs, Sing is written and directed by Garth Jennings (Son of Rambow, The
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet
Healy. Released by Universal Pictures, Sing arrives in theaters for the holiday
season on December 21, 2016.
