A surprise pick from director, Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Son Of Rambow), Sing is the latest from Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment, who have had great success of late with Despicable Me, Minions, and The Secret Life Of Pets. Boasting a stellar voice cast (Reese Weatherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, John C. Reilly, Scarlett Johansson, Tori Kelly, Taron Egerton, Jennifer Saunders, Jay Pharaoh, Rhea Perlman), Sing follows a koala named Buster Moon (he’s voiced by Matthew McConaughey, so we’ll presume that he’s not an Australian koala bear), who has one final chance to restore his theatre to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition. Better than X Factor? Shouldn’t be too hard…
