What is Sing about?
A koala named Buster recruits his best friend to help him drum up business for his theater by hosting a singing competition.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
An optimistic koala stages a singing competition, bringing together a whimsical cast of animal hopefuls.
Uplifting and crowd-pleasing, with wholesome humor. A family watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
