Sing 2 is a 2021 American computer-animated jukebox musical comedy film produced by Illumination, and distributed by Universal Pictures. The sequel to Sing (2016), it was again written and directed by Garth Jennings. The film stars an ensemble cast consisting of Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly, Nick Kroll, Jennings, Peter Serafinowicz, Jennifer Saunders, and Nick Offerman, reprising their roles from the first film. The sequel also features new characters voiced by Bobby Cannavale, Spike Jonze, Pharrell Williams, Halsey, Chelsea Peretti, Letitia Wright, Eric André, Adam Buxton, and Bono. Like the previous film, Sing 2 features songs from many artists, most of which are performed diegetically. The story is set after the events of the previous film, where Buster Moon and his group put on a show in Redshore City while working to impress an entertainment mogul and enlist a reclusive rock star to perform.

Sing 2 had its world premiere at the AFI Fest on November 14, 2021, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 22, 2021, and in the United Kingdom on January 28, 2022, by Universal Pictures. 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 reviews.

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 Redshore City. Buster, encouraged by Nana Noodleman, reunites the singers who competed in the first film, except for Mike, and takes them to the city.

They 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 musical that includes songs from Clay Calloway, a legendary rock star who has not been seen in 15 years. Intrigued, and assuming Calloway 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 delegated 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 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 Calloway, 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 one night behind Jimmy's back and has Miss Crawly get Porsha to rejoin them in the show, while Johnny calls his dad 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 finally earns Klaus' respect. Porsha performs a high energy song and dance number, earning the adoration of the crowd in spite of her father's attempts to stop the show, infuriating him. Meena visualizes Darius as Alfonso and performs a romantic duet with him. Jimmy tries one last time to stop the show by throwing Buster off the top of the stage, which causes Rosita to overcome her fear of heights to save Buster. When the time comes for Calloway to take the stage, he claims that he is not ready. Ash leads the crowd in a rendition of one of Calloway'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.

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 performance, Buster watches from the VIP section, proud to have succeeded in Redshore City.

Critical response[]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Error: Unrecognized approval rating. Please use a number between 0 and 100. 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."[81] Template:MC film[82] 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".[83] 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".[84] 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."[85]
