Sing premiered to audiences who wanted a feel-good film to watch with those they loved, and it delivered with mega-stars, an incredible soundtrack, and the kind of characters that were so easy to fall in love with.
Whether your favorite was Buster Moon or Rosita, Eddie or Johnny, you undoubtedly found a character in the film that resonated with you. So fans have been anxiously awaiting a part 2, as it was clear that one adventure wasn't enough for the brave and soulful characters in Sing.
The wait is almost over as Sing 2 is set to premiere on December 22nd, 2021, and fans recently got a look at an incredible trailer that shows the group's next big adventure.
Here are a few things we know about Sing 2 so far!
10 The Cast Is Excited (And Growing)
In an introduction video that premiered before the trailer, the cast of Sing 2 shared their excitement about the film with fans around the world. New faces, including Pharrell Williams and Letitia Wright, joining returning favorites like Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon. The cast is thrilled about the premise of new adventures, laughter, and togetherness on the incredible new journey.
9 The Trailer Is Absolutely Amazing
Those already familiar with Sing know that, while the film is lighthearted and feel-good, some emotional moments are woven into the storyline. Sing 2 looks like it's set to follow the same idea - there are dreams to be chased and songs to be sung, and a lot of relationship and trust-building to happen along the way!
8 A Major Voice Actor Was Revealed
So we mentioned it above, but it's worth mentioning again -- the new adventures mean new characters for us to love. One of which is a major star! Bono is joining the cast of Sing 2 in a major way! He's the 'it' star that everyone wants, but changes in his life have caused him to walk away from the spotlight. What, or who will be the voice that brings him back? Or will he walk away from it for good?
7 They're Chasing Dreams In The City Of Lights
The layout of the film is reminiscent of Las Vegas, which is quite relevant to the storyline. Redshore City is a dream for up-and-coming stars, and they're certainly going to be working hard to be on stage - but that won't happen without a bit of strife, first. The 'scout' looking for talent doesn't seem too easy to please; they'll have to work to make this dream a reality!
6 There's A New (Very Important) Mission
We mentioned Bono's character stepping away from the spotlight, but the journey to bring him back to it will be more important than just a shot at the big stage. It's clear that there's been a painful loss in his life, and while the team needs him for their shot at stardom, it looks like he might need them differently.
5 New Bonds Are Forming
With the addition of new characters comes new friendships and bonds to be formed. While some of these bonds won't come easy, some friendships seem to start with a giggle and shared interest in music and all that comes with it. Fans will be interested to see what the new characters bring to the table.
4 Friendships Will Be Tested
We all know Buster Moon has his eyes set on the prize, but it looks like feelings may end up hurt on the way to getting it. A few scenes in the trailer show that Buster may be looking closer at winning than he is at his pals. It'll likely be an important part of the plot, and we're sure it'll all be made right by the end.
3 Everyone Seems To Be Overcoming A Fear
From Calloway to Johnny and Rosita, there will be some moments in the film that address fear. When you're chasing a dream and going after something you hope to achieve, there will be moments where fear can, and will, rock you. We're sure there will be some inspiring moments in how these beloved characters overcome it!
2 Tears Will Be Shed
The good thing about a film like Sing 2 is how it looks to connect with an array of emotions. There will be times of laughter and wonder, times for dreaming, and times that loss and worry are highlighted. It's a movie, while animated and fun, that embodies the human experience.
A few scenes in the trailer already prove that this will be a movie you may need a couple of tissues to get through.
1 The Soundtrack Will Be Incredible
If you made it through the trailer without dancing, well, we'd love to know how. The first soundtrack is a staple to fans, and this one will be no different. The songs being performed are catchy and fun, and emotional. We are sure fans can expect an epic dance party in theaters with Sing 2!
