Trailer for Sing 2 :

This year’s holiday season, Illumination Entertainment’s global hit animated film franchise begins a new chapter with bigger dreams and more hits. Buster Moon, an ambitious koala, and his all-star cast of animal entertainers are about to present the most dazzling stage show ever… in the dazzling entertainment capital of the world. But there’s a catch: First they’ll have to convince the world’s most reclusive rock star – voiced by music legend Bono in his animated debut – to join them in the performance.

Buster (voiced by award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey) and his artists have transformed his new Moon Theater into the hottest performance venue in the area, but he now has a bigger ambition, which is to host the premiere of a new song and dance show at the Christota Theater in the glamorous city of Red Beach.

With no showbiz connections to speak of, Buster and his crew - including worried mother pig Rohitane (voiced by Reese Witherspoon), rocker porcupine Ash (voiced by Scarlett Johansson), hard-working gorilla Johnny (voiced by Taron Egerton), shy elephant Mina (voiced by Tori Kelly), and of course show-off pig Gaunt (voiced by Nick Kroll) - must sneak into the offices of Crystal Entertainment, the world-famous entertainment company founded and run by ruthless entertainment mogul and wolf Jimmy Crystal (voiced by Emmy Award winner Bobby Canaveral).

Gaunt, who was driven to the edge of his seat to get Mr. Crystal's attention, suddenly had an idea and gave Buster a super exaggerated idea. Buster had no choice but to adopt this idea, which was to promise Mr. Crystal that their new song and dance show would be starred by the legendary rock lion king Corey Calloway (voiced by Bono). But the problem was that Buster had never seen Corey, and this legendary rock king had retired from the music industry more than ten years ago because of the loss of his beloved wife. He lived in seclusion for more than ten years and no one had seen him since.

As Gaunt helps Buster design a world-class stage show, and as pressure (and terrifying threats) mount from Mr. Crystal, Buster embarks on a quest to find legendary rock singer Corey Calloway, hoping to convince him to return to the stage. What started as Buster's dream of fame and fortune turns into a modern fable, reminding everyone that music is powerful enough to heal even the saddest of broken hearts.

"Sing 2" is written and directed by the famous director Gus Jennings. In addition to the new characters voiced by Bono and Bobby Canaveral, other new characters' voice actors include music superstars Pharrell and Halsey, "Black Panther" actress Letitia Wright, and comedians Eric Andre and Chloe Peretti.

The producers of this animated comedy musical are Chris Meledandri, founder and CEO of Illumination Entertainment, and Janet Healy, who have unique vision. Sing 2 combines dozens of classic rock and pop hits, brilliant performances, breathtakingly beautiful stages, and Illumination Entertainment's signature funny style and heartwarming stories. It will be the most inspiring festival movie at the end of this year.
