Sing movie quotes help tell the story portrayed in the animated film about a theater-owning koala who hosts a singing competition. The musical comedy was written and directed by Garth Jennings. Showing in 3D, Sing opened in theaters in the United States on December 21, 2016.
In Sing, Buster Moon (voiced by Matthew McConaughey) is a koala who owns a music theater in his town. The theater is failing so Buster, much to the disapproval of sheep friend Eddie Noodleman (voiced by John C. Reilly), announces plan to host a singing competition. This, however, gets off to a rough start when his iguana assistant, Karen Crawley (voiced by Garth Jennings), prints $100,000 as the prize rather than $1,000.
The chance of fame and fortune of winning the competition excites those in Buster's town, including street musician mouse Mike (voiced by Seth MacFarlane), pig wife and mother Rosita (voiced by Reese Witherspoon), punk rock porcupine Ash (voiced by Scarlett Johansson) and mountain gorilla Johnny (voiced by Taron Egerton), among others. All vie for the top prize, while trying to keep up with their own personal obligations at the same time.
Sing movie quotes bring some music to theaters which are already showing other great December 2016 films such as Solace, A Kind of Murder, Collateral Beauty, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
