An average movie

To be honest, I didn’t care much about ‘Sing’ but, since this sequel was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. I never understood why ‘Zootopia’ was so popular so you can imagine how little interested I was by a movie which was basically a cheap spin-off of ‘Zootopia’ focusing on singing animals. And yet, probably because I had such low expectations, I don’t think the damned thing was so bad at all after all. Like its predecessor, there were just too many characters involved though. As a result, none of them was really developed and they all felt rather flat. It was probably not the best idea to add another 5 or 6 new characters to the mix as they were all as half-baked as the returning characters were. What did work though was that they went for something really different regarding the story or, at least, it did feel like it, because, I have to admit it, I didn’t remember much ‘Sing’ (when I read back my review, I was actually not so negative so it was apparently not as bad as I remembered). Above all, the one thing that did work this time was the fact that the musical they produced actually worked in my opinion. Indeed, the songs were really catchy (it’s probably the big masterstroke with this franchise, the fact they really get some cool songs), the visuals were neat and the damned thing was just really entertaining which was quite an achievement considering that most musicals actually rather bored me. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was nothing really amazing and I will probably forget most about it within a few days, I have to admit that it was actually watchable but it’s probably worth a look only if you have some young children to entertain.
