Sing 2 Trailer Teases Illumination's Star-Studded Animated Sequel
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Universal Pictures and Illumination have released the official
trailer for the forthcoming musical animated sequel to 2016's
Sing, featuring the voices of Oscar-winners Matthew McConaughey
and Reese Witherspoon along with Taron Egerton and Scarlett
Johansson. The film is scheduled to hit the theaters this
December 22, just in time for Christmas.
The Sing 2 trailer, which you can check out below along with the
character posters, features the return of McConaughey's Buster
Moon along with most of the first film's talented characters as
they prepare for the biggest show of their lives. They must prove
to the ruthless entertainment mogul that they have what it takes
to showcase their talents at the glamourous Redshore City.
However, the only catch is they must enlist rock legend Clay
Calloway, portrayed by Bono, in order to get full approval from
Mr. Crystal.

In Sing 2, Buster has turned the New Moon Theater into a local
hit, but Buster has his eyes on a bigger prize: Debuting a new
show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City. But
with no connections, Buster and his cast - including harried
mother pig Rosita, rocker porcupine Ash, earnest gorilla Johnny,
shy elephant Meena and, of course, porcine provocateur Gunter -
have to sneak their way into the world-famous Crystal
Entertainment offices, run by ruthless mogul wolf Jimmy Crystal.
In a desperate attempt to get Mr. Crystal's attention, Gunter
spontaneously pitches an outrageous idea that Buster quickly runs
with, promising that their new show will star lion rock legend
Clay Calloway. Problem is, Buster has never met Clay, an artist
who shut himself away from the world more than a decade ago after
the loss of his wife. Even worse, Buster has failed to realize
that Mr. Crystal is an egocentric gangster who would rather drop
somebody off the roof of a building than be lied to.
As Gunter helps Buster dream up an out-of-this-world theatrical
masterpiece, and the pressure (and sinister threats) from
Mr. Crystal mount, Rosita's leading role in the show gets ripped
away and handed to Mr. Crystal's spoiled daughter, Porsha.
Desperate to save the show, and his life, Buster embarks on a
quest to find Clay and persuade him to return to the stage. What
begins as a dream of big-time success becomes an emotional
reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken
heart.
The animated sequel features an all-star ensemble including
returning voice cast, Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon,
Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly, Nick Kroll, Garth
Jennings, and Nick Offerman along with new cast members Bono,
Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Pharrell Williams, Letitia Wright, Eric
Andre, and Chelsea Peretti.
Sing 2 is once again written and directed by acclaimed Garth
Jennings. The film is produced by Illumination founder and
CEO Chris Meledandri and by Janet Healy. The film combines dozens
of classic rock and pop hit songs, electrifying performances,
breathtaking artistry and Illumination's signature humor and heart
into the definitive feel-good cinematic event of the year.
