Illumination Entertainment's Sing promises to show off the performing talents of a diverse cast that includes Matthew McConaughey, Taron Egerton, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson and more. The company has released a new set of images showing the actors with their various animal characters, and you can check them out in two groups lower down the page, except for McConaughey, who is ruling the roost above.
Sing finds McConaughey as Buster Moon, the dapper koala who oversees a theatre that was once a grand entertainment venue, but is now falling on hard times, with peeling paint and dodgy plumbing. In a last-ditch attempt to restore the venue to its former glory, he decides to stage the world's greatest singing challenge, throwing the doors open to members of the public who think they have what it takes.
A group of lead contestants are soon winnowed down from the chaff that shows up: a mouse (Seth MacFarlane) a crooked sort with a smooth voice, a timid teenage elephant (singer Tori Kelly), a busy mother sow (Witherspoon), who juggles the demands of her 25 piglets with her singing ambitions, a young gorilla (Egerton) who is looking for a way out of his father's criminal activities, a punk-rock porcupine with the pipes of Johansson and a posing pig named Gunther (Nick Kroll).
Garth Jennings is the writer and director behind the movie and you can find the most recent trailer here. Sing warbles its way to UK screens on 27 January.
