Buster Moon has a dream: to be the most successful koala in showbiz. In “Sing,” he managed to salvage the run-down venue where his musical theater ambitions might thrive, much to the delight of fam…
True to their brand, Illumination has engineered another easy-to-swallow confection designed to maximize audience delight, whether on first or fortieth viewing, although this time, there’s almost zero nutritional value. In fact, “Sing 2” just might be the most corporate animated product since the days of “My Little Pony,” “He-Man” and other children’s toy tie-ins getting half-hour commercial space on TV.
Sure, the result amounts to a kind of jukebox monstrosity, in which virtually any song could be substituted with a comparable tune without impacting the experience . But think of it instead as an elaborate machinery of joy, and it’s easier to appreciate how every choice seems designed to put a smile on people’s faces. Beyond that, “Sing 2” all but defines any kind of meaningful critical analysis.
By the same token, is Crystal right or wrong to shoot down Buster Moon’s original musical, after the koala and his crew sneak into the Redshore City audition room? The wolf in chic clothing doesn’t want to hear it. Then Austrian-sounding oinker Gunter mentions a kooky space opera he calls “Out of This World,” which catches Crystal’s attention, provided that the crew can deliver Clay Calloway . Oh, and they must also cast his daughter Porsha , who may or not be a good singer.
