Dapper Koala Buster Moon presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. An eternal optimist, and a bit of a scoundrel, he loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Facing the crumbling of his life's ambition, he takes one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world's greatest singing competition. Five contestants emerge: a mouse, a timid elephant, a pig, a gorilla and a punk-rock porcupine.
Sing delivers colorfully animated, cheerfully undemanding entertainment with a solid voice cast and a warm-hearted -- albeit familiar -- storyline that lives up to its title.

| 181436 | Steven Prokopy | Third Coast Review | Fresh | — | 2020-04-29T00:12:07Z | 2020-04-29 00:12:07 | Sing is a good-natured, well-intentioned bit of jukebox fluff that is at its most frustrating when you can see how it could have possibly gone in a more interesting direction. |

| 181440 | Kaitlyn Booth | Bleeding Cool | Rotten | — | 2019-05-24T18:17:30Z | 2019-05-24 18:17:30 | Sing might be passable in a lesser year of animation but the fundamental flaws in the film kneecap it from the beginning. |

| 181444 | Abbie Bernstein | Assignment X | Fresh | B | 2018-10-19T22:44:00Z | 2018-10-19 22:44:00 | There are pleasures to be found in Sing. The question is how willing people are to sit through some tired sitcom plotting to get to it. |

| 181446 | Jacob Oller | Oklahoma Gazette | Rotten | — | 2018-08-27T20:49:27Z | 2018-08-27 20:49:27 | Sure, they can all sing. But that's not really the point. |

| 181448 | Damian Levy | Jamaica Gleaner | Fresh | — | 2018-05-09T19:46:11Z | 2018-05-09 19:46:11 | In a year chock full of animated films with talking animals, 'Sing' possibly has the most heart. |

| 181451 | Megan Basham | WORLD | Rotten | — | 2018-02-22T02:00:51Z | 2018-02-22 02:00:51 | It spends way too much time on the antics of Buster and his slacker sidekick in a plotline that kids won't get and parents won't enjoy. |

| 181455 | Reza Noorani | The Times of India | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2017-11-06T21:51:46Z | 2017-11-06 21:51:46 | Most animated movies try to deliver a message and end up sounding preachy. Sing too, has one -- once you hit rock bottom, there's nowhere else to go but up. The sheer heart with which its characters live and convey the sentiment, is incredible. |
| 181456 | Courtney Howard | Fresh Fiction | Rotten | — | 2017-11-04T20:35:21Z | 2017-11-04 20:35:21 | SING is a wasted opportunity to really dig down deep to explore a world we'd dream of living in. Worse, it fails to put a song in our hearts. |

The animation is well-executed and there are plenty of jokes. This will be a crowd-pleaser for the holiday period. |
| 181460 | Diane Carson | KDHX (St. Louis) | Fresh | — | 2017-08-29T17:40:54Z | 2017-08-29 17:40:54 | Sing is a lively, crowd pleaser suitable for children and the adults who will want to accompany them. |

| 181465 | Julia Smith | Film Inquiry | Fresh | — | 2017-02-14T22:43:47Z | 2017-02-14 22:43:47 | For those who will only watch animations of the highest calibre, Sing probably isn't for you; if you're easy going and fancy a nice, entertaining film, I would say have at it. |

| 181501 | Sara Michelle Fetters | MovieFreak.com | Fresh | 3/4 | 2016-12-30T15:38:16Z | 2016-12-30 15:38:16 | This is a fun movie. More, it is also one that has its heart stuck effortlessly in the right place. |

| 181503 | Aakash Karkare | Scroll.in | Fresh | — | 2016-12-30T15:29:15Z | 2016-12-30 15:29:15 | Sing lacks discernible personality, but it's light and colourful, has a few jokes and a plethora of singing and dancing animals. You'll forget it soon after you leave the cinema, but it passes the time just fine. |

| 181506 | Kristian M. Lin | Fort Worth Weekly | Rotten | — | 2016-12-29T18:12:51Z | 2016-12-29 18:12:51 | All this star power and musical talent in the voice cast is great. It should have gone for more. |
| 181507 | Alissa Wilkinson | Vox | Rotten | 1.5/5 | 2016-12-28T17:53:18Z | 2016-12-28 17:53:18 | From the first few minutes of the movie, it's clear exactly how it will end. There is not one moment of surprise. A few kids with costumes and a stage could dream up something much more fun. |
| 181508 | Todd Jorgenson | Cinemalogue | Rotten | — | 2016-12-28T13:59:20Z | 2016-12-28 13:59:20 | ... an impressive technical achievement that features some amusing snippets, but despite a feisty underdog spirit, it becomes overloaded with quirks and hyperactivity. |

| 181513 | Matthew Toomey | ABC Radio (Australia) | Fresh | B | 2016-12-25T16:44:44Z | 2016-12-25 16:44:44 | It's a tricky job trying to balance up the many storylines but writer-director Garth Jennings has done a good job. |

| 181522 | Stephen Schaefer | Boston Herald | Fresh | — | 2016-12-23T10:42:26Z | 2016-12-23 10:42:26 | The wise and all-around wonderful Sing is enchanting on every level. |

It's hard to appreciate an all-star voice cast when the material doesn't give them much to do. |
| 181524 | Jim Judy | Screen It! | Fresh | — | 2016-12-23T07:06:30Z | 2016-12-23 07:06:30 | While little kids might eat up the sights and sounds of various animals belting out familiar songs, older kids and adults might not be quite as enamored.
