After capturing the attention of audiences all over with the likes of Despicable Me, Minions, and The Secret Life of Pets, Illumination are hoping to find similar success this Christmas with Sing, a musical comedy “about finding the shining star that lives inside all of us.”

The incredible cast is made up of big names like Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton, and Tori Kelly, and that alone makes the animated movie stand out from some of the winter’s other big releases.

Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, Sing revolves around Buster Moon, a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal optimist/scoundrel who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.

Featuring more than 85 hit songs, Sing is written and directed by Garth Jennings (Son of Rambow, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy. You can get a sample of some of those song in this fantastic new trailer for the movie!
