SING (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.8|5.0 Starsìììì

Sing—terrific, computer animated musical—relies substantially on musical hits spanning several decades, a wide range of artists, and diverse musical styles to create a heart-appealing, family friendly entertainment piece that is neither slow nor boring. It gently reminds us that Hollywood (and the musical family that supports it) has consistently worked to completely entertain and delight us across generations of time.
