Sing.2016
Written and Directed by Garth Jennings
SUMMARY:
Dapper Koala Buster Moon presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. An eternal optimist, and a bit of a scoundrel, he loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Facing the crumbling of his life's ambition, he takes one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world's greatest singing competition. Five contestants emerge: a mouse, a timid elephant, a pig, a gorilla and a punk-rock porcupine.
CHARACTER NAME AND IMAGE
Dapper Koala Buster Moon
Buster Moon is down on his luck. The bank is on the verge of repossessing his father’s theater, his staff is claiming to be underpaid, and the theater itself is kinda old. Trying to figure out a way to get things back on track, he decides to do a singing competition to try and bring the crowds back out.
The original prize is labeled $1,000, but thanks to an error by his lizard secretary Mrs. Crawley, it gets out that the prize is $100,000. People line up, including a few hopefuls with stories of their own. Rosita, a mother pig of 25 piglets hoping to sing again after stopping her singing career in favor of raising a family. Mike, is a self-centered gambler who has a Sinatra-style crooner voice.
Then there’s Ash, a Porcupine rock singer trying to make it, along with her boyfriend. Johnny ,is a gorilla who’s father is a master criminal, and wants to try and step out of his shadow. Finally, Meena, is a shy elephant who wants to sing, but suffers from a major case of stage fright.
One of the main messages of “Sing” is not to let fear stop us from reaching our potential. Meena learns to overcome her fears, and toward the end of the film, Buster reveals he is fearful of the future and doesn’t want to go for it anymore.
the movie reinforces the idea of how money and materialism should not be a guiding force in what we do for a living. With the exception of Mike, the entire cast of the singing show comes to realize that the competition is much more than just the prize. It’s for showing their talent and for the sheer joy of doing it. Buster even says, “It’s not for the prize, they are singing for them.”After Buster hits a rough spot, and his error is revealed, his own cast comes to check on him and to figure out what they can do to help him get back on his feet. Meena even makes him a cake to cheer him up.Eddie, is a true friend to Buster. He willingly sets aside his own personal plans to help Buster when he is in need. In the meantime, he also isn’t afraid of expressing honesty to Buster’s crazy-ish plans. And in the midst of the craziness, he makes time for him and sticks by him.
