Having sat down with Taron Egerton, who voices Johnny the gorilla in Sing, we then had the pleasure to speak the man who directed him, chatting to the affable filmmaker Garth Jennings.
Jennings, renowned primarily for Son of Rambow (not to mention the excellent Blur music video for Coffee and TV), has made his first deviation into the world of the animation, presenting this all singing, all dancing extravaganza, featuring the vocal talents of Matthew McConaughey and Scarlett Johansson amongst many others.
We asked whether the animation genre was one he had always intended to try his hand in, and how he initially envisaged the characters, and why he choose specific personality traits for specific animals. He also tells us about working with this dream ensemble cast, and what his favourite karaoke song is…
Sing is released on January 27th.
