Quick Sing 2 Parent Review Summary
Picking up from where Sing left off, Buster Moon is set on making it big in the big city (equivalent to Las Vegas). When he is faced with utter rejection, Moon is even more motivated to prove himself and his crew. Through some underhanded tactics, he gets in front of the most powerful musical producer. Moon talks his way into a musical, but does his mouth write checks that his act can’t cash?
Sing 2 Parent Review:
***Contains Mild Spoilers***
–Why Watch Sing 2–
Sing 2 has the same overall feeland plot of the first Sing movie. So, if your family enjoyed that movie, this one should also be enjoyable. In some ways, Sing 2 actually shines a bit more than the original. Many of the characters get there own unique subplot that ultimately culminates with the final performance. Each of these subplots have there own life lessons that are simple and digestable for kids of most ages (See our Lessons from Sing 2 by character below).
Visually, this movie has a good contrast of cute characters and stunning visuals (especially during performances). This does a great job at remaining family friendly while also keeping the attention of young viewers. On top of all of this, even though some of the songs can be a bit inappropriate, the soundtrack is quite fun and fitting for the movie. Overall, this isn’t a movie that’s going to change your life, but it provides a fun little family time that everyone can enjoy.

-Is Sing 2 Appropriate to Watch With Your Kids?-
Sing 2 does contain some mildly disturbing imagery as Buster Moon seemingly is thrown to his death twice (He is saved both times) and there is also some mildly scary imagery in the opening act as an animal spins his head on a dark screen. Like Sing 2, there is some potty humor, such as, the animals being surprised to see another animal naked (nothing is actually shown).
Sing 2 uses a lot of modern day music throughout the film. Although actually cuss words are covered, there is a decent amount of innuendo in many of the songs. Despite all of this, there really isn’t anything too gratuitous in this film and should be able to be enjoyed by most everyone in the family.
5 Lessons from Sing 2 by Character
-Rosita- Lessons from Sing 2
Despite her fear of heights, Rosita is able to come through in the nick of time. This happens not because of any self-realization, but from a split second choice that had to be made in order to save a life. Rosite teaches us that bravery is in all of us.
-Johnny- Lessons from Sing 2
Johnny was struggling with self-confidence as his overly harsh dance instructor broke him down. It was only when Nooshy, an amazing street dancer, began to teach him that he began to thrive. Johnny teaches us about equity. Doing the same thing for every person will not help everyone thrive. Sometimes we need specialized attention or help to really help us grow.
-Meena- Lessons from Sing 2
Meena is thrust into a romance scene with an over-confident yak who insists that he is an utter heartthrob. When Meena finds a fellow elephant ice cream vendor, she instantly has a crush on him. Meena teaches us that love can look different for everyone and that we need to have confidence to talk with our crush.
-Clay Calloway and Ash- Lessons from Sing 2
In the most emotional story of the film, Clay Calloway has officially retired 15 years prior after the death of his wife. Since then he has become a complete recluse and has pushed everyone out of his life. It takes the compassion of Ash, who insists on staying with him even if he doesn’t help their musical. We see compassion and understanding from Ash. From Clay, we learn about overcoming grief as he learns that he can perform in her honor rather than pushing down his sadness.
-Buster Moon- Lessons from Sing 2
Buster Moon is a bit complicated as he pretty consistently lies and fenagles his way to achieving his goals. In a way, we learn good and bad lessons from Moon. On one hand, we learn that we have to persevere and push through obstacles to achieve our goals. On the other hand, the lesson seems to be that the ends justify the means. Even though he does find himself in some peril, ultimately everything works out just fine for him.
