Everything GREAT About Sing!

Sing 2 is in theaters today! So I finally had an excuse to do this musical classic. Some fun details I'm sure you missed. Here's everything right with Sing!

I love how "I'm Still Standing" isn't just about Johnny's relationship with his father, but can also apply to Ash and her cheating boyfriend, hence why the shot cuts over to her during the song!

[ivypatty]

I love how Cinema Wins looks at movies and goes "You know what? Good movie, I like it, if you don't good for you." We need more channels loving media unironically just because it scratches that part in our brain, whatever it is for you :)

That scene where Johnny's dad says, "That's my son" then comes to his revelation, and repeats "that's my son" it get's me every time.

i appreciate that Gunter had no backstory. He was just there, vibing and living his best life

You forgot the most important part about Johnny’s dad. Johnny’s dad, in an effort to get to Johnny before the song finishes, performs feats of strength and agility indicative to gorillas, which were not seen by any of the gorillas throughout the entire film. It’s the most animal any of the animals actually animals through the entire movie. That’s how desperate he was to get to his son and tell him how much he loved him and how much he supported him for following his dream of singing. His paternal instincts broke the wild side out of his character into the forefront, and I am all for it.

Missed win maybe: As Mina starts singing near the end and starts getting more enthusiastic, her ears begin to unfurl. As she opens up, so do they. In fact at the end I think she no longer has them curled up against her face.

To this day I still jam out to this movie's version of "I'm still standing" it's a bop.

[GuukanKitsune]

I'm surprised that Johnny's dad first seeing Johnny on the TV didn't get a win.
The way he just swells up with pride watching his son absolutely crush the stage. "That's Johnny! THAT'S MY SON!"
And then the silent wide-eyed horrified realization of just how huge and horrible mistake he made. "...that's my son..."
Followed by him going to the window to think a moment, seeing the lights from the performance in the distance... and then just deciding, at that moment, not a god damn thing in the world is going to stop him from being there to tell Johnny how proud he is, that he loves him, and he is sorry.

I felt like that was one of the single most powerful moments of the film, and does a WHOLE LOT with just the delivery of two lines and facial expressions... like, near PERFECT cinematography.

"To the lady in aisle that, was awesome, " is one of my favorite lines out of any animated movie

[forwhomthetacobelltolls]

One thing I really like about Mike's character is how consistently awful he is. He didn't show up at the end to perform because he had a change of heart, he only did it to show off. I also like that his massive ego is what ultimately got him killed

[trinaq]

Funny that Taron Edgerton went from singing Elton John, to saving him, to BEING Elton, all in the span of a few years! 😂

[harrypotter]

When Meena hits that high note and the wall behind her collapses, I just processed how it reveals the full moon behind her! Their performance was able to restore the theatre back to its natural glory from Nana’s days of performing, such a great little detail!

[bbvaldez]

This movie is genuinely so sweet and despite being advertised as a cringy kids movie it's a good time. And this channel brought me joy this whole year. Thank you for sending off this holiday season with something so nice. Thank you for your optimism. <3

OK ONE LAST ONE I PROMISE!
I think it’s also worth noting that Buster, while while not always the most considerate, does actually have an eye for talent. He realized the potential of putting rosita and Gunter together. His notes on Johnny’s sheet (seen when Johnny attempts to take the locked chest) mention how he feels Johnny lacks discipline which he kind of does and improves on that. And even though Ash didn’t like cheesy pop she WAS good at performing it and Buster recognized that just from her backup singing in a heavy rock song. And when he actually did hear her sing a piece of her own song he immediately recognized her strength with that and wanted it added to the show.

[Raiigen]

Another win is Rosita's growth, starting from the selection scene. She's so "invisible" we hardly see her behind the others, but she is there, and the fact that Buster calls her after he dismissed everyone is kind of a build-up to her own character growth;
She's quiet and simple, hidden in the audience, but has amazing talent, and with Guenther's help she slowly lets go of her reservations and truly blooms to the point of being in charge of rebuilding the stage and encouraging everyone.

[cttonberries]

I love this movie a LOT actually, and I'm glad to see someone talk positively among the sea of negativity it gets! Another win id give it is how they didn't give some forced love triangle between Rosita, her husband Norman, and Gunther. Gunther is just supportive of Rosita and Norman realizes he wasn't giving her the attention she deserved. Really good way to end their arc!

[rasengdori]

Glad someone is finally giving this movie some credit instead of hating it solely because it’s a Illumination picture and had unfortunate timing to be released shortly after Zootopia.

[nutsandbolts]

Personally, this is one of the better movies made by illumination since I notice alot of people hate modern Music-box movies just because they are considered cheap ways to gain an audience, but honestly this movie is pretty good for that category

The movie manages to give a reason for all these modern songs, it's a talent show and people (animals actually) just pick the songs that resonate the most with them, just like any real life competition would and it manages to make interesting characters all through the movie along with the high stakes it makes for a great movie!

[FuzzWoof]

As a 45 year old man, this movie is my guilty pleasure comfort movie, a place now shared with the sequel. It's just so wonderfully sweet, and there's not enough of that in the world these days.

[Fullymetal]

The level of positivity this channel puts forth is like an oasis in a desert of negativity.
