Although MOANA has been dominating the social media landscape with new trailers, and Dwayne Johnson singing his beefed-up heart out, not a lot has come out for another soon-to-be-massive animated film, SING. We haven't got a new trailer in a while, despite the first wave of reviews giving the movie some pretty decent praise, and the fact it will be one of the biggest films of the Christmas season. Well that’s changed, as a litany of new promotional images has dropped for your viewing pleasure. No need to thank us. It’s what we do.
Take a look at all the new character posters, as well as pics from a photo shoot for EW with each actor posed next to their corresponding character (a la JUNGLE BOOK earlier this year).
I'm not a huge fan of Illumination's work. The DESPICABLE ME movies are good, but MINIONS and PETS are middling at best. However, even those last two are good for a few decent yucks, so I can't say they're useless. SING looks like a good time, so I'll wait to see it when it comes out to see how it compares with the others. Still, with ZOOTOPIA, FINDING DORY and SECRET LIFE OF PETS all crushing at the box office 2016 has been a huge year for animated movies, so I'm truly gobsmacked to think we aren't even done yet. Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in! See…see what I did there…GODFATHER.
SING arrives this holiday season with Reese Witherspoon, Matthew McConaughey, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly, Seth MacFarlane, Nick Kroll and Scarlett Johansson.
