Sing 2

2021

Buster and his new cast now have their sights set on debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City. But with no connections, he and his singers must sneak into the Crystal Entertainment offices, run by the ruthless wolf mogul Jimmy Crystal, where the gang pitches the ridiculous idea of casting the lion rock legend Clay Calloway in their show. Buster must embark on a quest to find the now-isolated Clay and persuade him to return to the stage.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising2/5
Why this rating?

The entertainment-industry setting and licensed songs support franchise and music merchandising, but the story is not a direct purchasing pitch.

Death of a character2/5
Why this rating?

A major character’s wife died before the story; grief and emotional isolation are important parts of his backstory, without shown death.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Very mild language, mostly name-calling or frustration.

Romance2/5
Why this rating?

A gentle love story develops between Meena and Alfonso, alongside a performed romantic duet and light relationship themes.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Threats from an intimidating mogul, pursuit, heights, and suspense around a dangerous performance may frighten younger viewers.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

Cartoon peril includes threats, bodyguards, confrontations, paintball fire, fighting, and an attempted lethal fall; action is non-graphic.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience4/5
Why this rating?

Characters persist through rejection, fear of heights, grief, intimidation, and public performance, with bravery framed as supporting others and taking principled risks.

Creativity & curiosity5/5
Why this rating?

Music, choreography, stage design, imaginative sci-fi production, and inventive problem-solving are central to the entire story.

Diverse representation2/5
Why this rating?

The ensemble includes varied animal characters with distinct personalities, talents, ages, and roles, though this is not a human demographic diversity story.

Educational value1/5
Why this rating?

It offers incidental lessons about performance, rehearsal, collaboration, confidence, and handling grief, but is primarily entertainment.

Kindness & empathy4/5
Why this rating?

Friends support one another, help characters through fear and grief, and give others opportunities to regain confidence and belong.

Positive messages4/5
Why this rating?

Strong themes encourage perseverance, teamwork, creative expression, honesty, supporting others, and facing fear rather than surrendering to intimidation.

Good role models4/5
Why this rating?

The ensemble shows loyalty, courage, mentorship, and resilience, though some characters initially deceive, pressure, or act selfishly.
