In 2016’s animated jukebox musical, koala showman Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) saved his beloved theatre from closure by holding a singing competition, which brought together a ragtag group of amateur animal performers. Now, Buster is heading to Redshore City, the glittering entertainment capital of the world, where he hopes to stage a show with his company of now-professional stars. But no one is interested – until the prospect of legendary rock star Clay Calloway (Bono) joining the cast is floated. There’s just one problem: the reclusive Calloway hasn’t been seen in 15 years.
A star-studded ensemble cast (Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton and many more) bring this menagerie of animals to life. And yes, they all do their own singing, belting out boppy renditions of pop hits and original songs. With toe-tapping musical numbers and a gleeful animated energy, Sing 2 is bound to make you… well, sing.

Aspiring fashion designer Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) is ready to live her dream: she’s just been accepted into the London School of Fashion and is making the move from the country to the big city. But her dream soon turns into a nightmare when she is mysteriously transported in her sleep each night to the glamorous-yet-seedy London of the 1960s. There, she encounters Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy), a wannabe starlet, whose dreams of making it big lead her down a dark and violent path – one which eventually threatens to cross over into Eloise’s waking world too.
Director Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Shaun of the Dead) is no stranger to mashing genres together and his latest is a thrill ride that is part time-travel fantasy, part nightmarish horror and part supernatural mystery. Like much of his acclaimed work, it is also stylish, ambitious and drop-dead gorgeous – everything you want for a night out at the movies.
