Sing

Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, Sing stars Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey), a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal optimist—okay, maybe a bit of a scoundrel—who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.  Five lead contestants emerge: A mouse (Seth MacFarlane) who croons as smoothly as he cons, a timid teenage elephant (Tori Kelly) with an enormous case of stage fright, an overtaxed mother (Reese Witherspoon) run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets, a young gangster gorilla (Taron Egerton) looking to break free of his family’s felonies, and a punk-rock porcupine (Scarlett Johansson) struggling to shed her arrogant boyfriend and go solo. Each animal arrives under Buster’s marquee believing that this is their shot to change the course of their life.

This movie was a pretty fun watch but I have to honestly say that I feel like I saw the entire movie from the months of trailers leading up to its release.  There really was very little that I didn't remember already seeing.  The characters were cool but with this coming out less than a year after Zootopia (the same society premise but with singing), it seemed kind of like a repeat.  The songs were catchy and kids are sure to love it but this wasn't nearly as enjoyable for the parents as it was for the kids.

I would still recommend people with kids going to check this out but it's definitely not one of those top notch animated movies where the adults enjoy it as much as the children.  It's slightly below that.
