Sing animation

"If (like me) you have a parental obsession with brainwashing your children to adore everything from Sinatra to 'Shake It Off,' 'Sing' may be your most effective weapon since 'Happy Feet' (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"Jennings and his cast manage to deliver a steady supply of laughs, while respecting one of Illumination’s core principles: It’s OK to be silly" 

"Illumination’s latest plays to the company’s strengths (...) But just as with, for example, 'The Secret Life of Pets' or 'Minions', storytelling remains the outfit’s weak spot" 

"With this touching and emotional film, Chris Meledandri’s company takes a big step up" 

"Colorful characters and enough pop songs to fill a playlist but not much else (...) a lighthearted treat for kids (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" 

"‘Sing’ is ‘Pitch Perfect’ with some crowd pleasing animation and that’s a compliment (...) Sometimes you just can’t hate a movie. It may annoy you. It may make your eye rolls a bit, but eventually you just succumb to the sheer entertainment" 

"A profoundly soulless piece of work (...) Despite its manic pacing, “Sing” doesn’t have time for nuance or feeling"
