The original Sing made its debut in 2016 and now the sequel is available for streaming on Netflix. The new film was released in theaters in January 2022, becoming the most successful animated movie to release during the pandemic. It grossed $267 million worldwide. Only animated films generated over $100 million in worldwide sales during the pandemic.
Sing 2 was written and directed by Garth Jennings and had some return voice actors from the original film including Matthew McConaughey, Taron Egerton, Scarlett Johansson and Reese Witherspoon. The sequel also includes Pharrell Williams, Halsey and Bono.
The plot has been described as a “Can-do koala Buster Moon and his all-star cast of animal performers prepare to launch a dazzling stage extravaganza in the glittering entertainment capital of the world.”
“There’s just one hitch-he has to find and persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star to join them. What begins as Buster’s dream of big-time success soon becomes an emotional reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken heart.”
A Netflix subscription will give viewers the opportunity to watch the original film and sequel. Both projects are expected to stream to millions of viewers worldwide.
