Dove Review

Buster Moon is a koala who has wanted to own a great theater ever since his dad took him to the theater when he was 6 years old. But over the years he has fallen on hard times; he owes the bank and his employees. He needs to change things around, so he decides to hold a singing contest with a $1,000 prize. Unfortunately his assistant, Miss Crawley, adds two more zeros to the flyers that inadvertently go out the window when a large breeze swoops them up, and that puts him on the line for a $100,000 payout.

Many come to try out. Only a few are picked: Rosita, a stay-at-home mom to 25 piglets; Ash is a female porcupine who is part of a two-piece band, but Mr. Moon only wants her and not her partner; Johnny loves to sing, but his father wants him to be a part of the bank robbery gang; and then there is Mike, a mouse who thinks he is the best. Together they all prepare for the show until there a mishap at the theater that makes them all wonder what will happen. Even Buster is unsure of the future.

“Sing” is a colorful animated movie with wonderful toe-tapping music. There are also some lessons taught—follow your dreams; don’t be afraid of your talents; and sometimes, it is not for the monetary prize but for the enjoyment of friendships and working together that is the fulfillment of your objective. We are proud to award the Dove Family-Approved Seal for all ages to “Sing”.
