What is it? An animated comedy in which a group of anthropomorphic animals must stage one final, mind-blowing event – a singing competition – in order to save their theatre.

Who made it? The film is co-directed by Garth Jennings (Son Of Rambow) and Christophe Lourdelet, from a script by Garth Jennings.

Who’s in it? Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton, Nick Kroll, Nick Offerman, Peter Serafinowicz, Leslie Jones, Jay Pharoah, Jennifer Saunders, Rhea Perlman, Jennifer Hudson, Wes Anderson, Adam Buxton.

What do we think? As a concept, a desperate group coming together to stage a redemptive event is hardly groundbreaking, but great animation, and a cast of energetic voices will likely make Sing an enjoyable family movie for Christmas season cinema trips.
