SING 2 ARRIVES ON HOME VIDEO

Universal Pictures Home Entertainment provided ageekdaddy.com with a free digital code to view SING 2. Opinions expressed are honest and my own. 

My family really enjoyed SING, the 2016 animated movie from ILLUMINATION (the studio also behind Despicable Me & Secret Life of Pets) about a struggling theater owner who assembles a loveable group of misfits to compete in a talent competition with the goal of raising enough money to save the building from having its mortgage foreclosed by the bank. We are GEEKED that a sequel has been released and is now available to add to your home entertainment library; but really have six years gone by already?! Wow how time flies!

In 2022's SING 2, The act that has arisen from the SING talent show is the talk of the town. Moon Theater is the most successful entertainment venue in Calatonia. But that isn't enough for its owner Buster Moon! He wants his singing troupe to be world famous by performing in the glamorous theaters of Redshore City's glamorous theaters. So, they hit the road to take their act to a new level of sucess.

Just one problem ... they need a state to perform on. Buster Moon though has an answer for that by talking a casino mogul to sponsor their show at his theater in Redshore City. There is a hitch though, Moon promises that Clay Calloway a reclusive rock star who hasn't performed in decades is in the cast even though the ever-optimistic koala has never met him. Will the show go on?!

SING 2 is filled with comedic moments and a delightful musical soundtrack complimenting an entertaining story making this all ages appropriate flick an excellent selection for a family movie night. I was particularly geeked about the energetic sci-fi themed musical that Buster Moon is attempting to stage. This science fiction fan appreciated the astronaut and alien themes we see as Moon's crew plans and performs their Broadway-style show. That show along with the exploits it takes to get it on stage earns SING 2 a Geek Daddy nod of approval.

SING 2 is available now on Digital and debuts March 29 on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. The movie is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America based on rude material and mild peril/violence. The show has a runtime of one hour, forty-nine minutes and forty seconds.

Of course, as home video releases are known for SING 2 includes bonus content in addition to the theatrical release. Added content on the Digital, 4k Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD includes 2 never-before-seen mini movies with some of your favorite characters, sing-alongs to the hit songs from the film, a dance-along with renowned choreographer Sherrie Silver, outtakes with the star-studded cast and more interactive fun. There is a lot of praise to be sung about the home video release of SING 2.

SEQUEL TO ANIMATED MOVIE SING SET FOR CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY RELEASE

Attention! This upcoming Christmas holiday season, a new chapter in Illumination’s animated movie franchise SINGS brings big dreams and spectacular hit songs to theaters. After a year long pandemic shut down of movie theaters this is just what we needed to brighten up spirits!  The ever-optimistic koala, Buster Moon, and his all-star cast of performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet …all in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There’s just one hitch: they first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star, played by global music icon Bono, to join them.

My family LOVED the original SING movie and will absolutely be heading to the theater to see SING 2 once it debuts on December 22, 2021. What a fantastic way to have some family fun as the kids' Christmas Break from school begins. Check out the trailer for SING 2:

Buster (Oscar® winner Matthew McConaughey) 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 (Oscar® winner Reese Witherspoon), rocker porcupine Ash (Scarlett Johansson), earnest gorilla Johnny (Taron Egerton), shy elephant Meena (Tori Kelly) and, of course, porcine provocateur Gunter (Nick Kroll)—have to sneak their way into the world-famous Crystal Entertainment offices, run by ruthless mogul wolf Jimmy Crystal (Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale).

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 (Bono). 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, played by Grammy-nominated artist Halsey. 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. 

SING 2 is written and directed by acclaimed returning filmmaker Garth Jennings and features additional new characters played by music superstar Pharrell Williams, Black Panther’s Letitia Wright and comedians Eric Andre and Chelsea Peretti. SING 2 is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) for Mild Peril / Violence / Rude Material.
