Sing — New Extended Trailer

added: Thu, Jul 7th '16

This new extended trailer for the animated musical comedy "Sing" is going to "explode with major piggy power!" -- so prepare accordingly.

Featuring an all-star voice cast that includes Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Taron Egerton, Scarlett Johansson, Seth MacFarlane, Nick Kroll, John C. Reilly, and pop singer Tori Kelly, the upcoming film comes from the animated studio that brought you the "Despicable Me" films and this week's release of "The Secret Life of Pets."

Acclaimed music video director-turned-feature filmmaker Garth Jennings (Son of Rambow, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) writes and directs this feel-good animated movie about an unflappable theatre owner (he's a Koala bear voiced by McConaughey), who is so desperate to save his failing business that he starts to organize a highly publicized amateur singing competition, which is to be held at his 1,000-plus seat auditorium. But first: open auditions -- and we do mean open for everyone.

"Sing" is set to hit theaters on December 21st, with a U.K. release slated for January 27th.

synopsis:
Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, Sing stars Buster Moon (Academy Award-winner Matthew McConaughey), a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal optimist -- okay, maybe a bit of a scoundrel -- 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 (Academy Award-winner 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.
