Sing: ¡Ven y canta! - Thriller

I rated "Sing" and "Sing 2" 9/10. I hate musicals, but somehow this animated form appealed to me. These were funny films, full of funny dialogues and well-written characters.

The plot in these films was always just an excuse to show a spectacular performance at the end, which was the best moment of both films. This short film is all about this performance. The worst thing is that it came out extremely mediocre. I expected something more looking at the previous films.

As a one-time experience, it's "ok", but I can't imagine going back to this film like to the previous parts.

If you like the previous films, check this one out as well. If you don't like it, don't even bother.

My daughter and I watched the Netflix special Sing: Thriller (2024) yesterday. The storyline follows our favorite characters from Sing as they prepare a Halloween-themed play. After the play, they attend an after-party where they encounter a strange ooze that transforms them into zombies, leading to a lively song and dance to Thriller.

Written and directed by Garth Jennings (Sing), this short film features the voices of Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club), Nick Kroll (The Addams Family), and Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service).

For an eleven-minute special, it packs in a lot of fun. The animation is top-notch, as expected, and the Halloween play concept is both creative and engaging. The monsters during the play are entertaining, and the zombie transformation, complete with glowing eyes, adds a spooky touch. The rendition of Thriller is fantastic, especially with each character bringing their unique vocal style. The piano segment and Johnny's performance were highlights for me.

In conclusion, Sing: Thriller is a fun holiday treat that's definitely worth a watch. I'd give it a 7/10 and strongly recommend it!

Sing: Thriller, directed by Garth Jennings and starring Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey, offers an imaginative reimagining of the iconic "Thriller" music video, this time brought to life by the animated cast of Sing. The clever twist of splitting Michael Jackson's legendary vocals among the different characters adds a fresh and creative layer to the experience. Each character's unique voice and personality complements the eerie, yet upbeat vibe of Thriller, giving the performance a lively and fun ensemble feel.

Johansson's sultry, rock-infused tones blend effortlessly with McConaughey's charismatic and smooth delivery, while the rest of the cast joins in to create a dynamic harmony. Jennings masterfully balances the nostalgia of the original video with the playful energy of the Sing universe, making it feel both familiar and original. Fans of both Sing and Michael Jackson will appreciate this clever crossover, where the unmistakable beats of Thriller. A fun, inventive tribute to the King of Pop! Voices.

Directed and written by Garth Jennings. A runtime of eleven minutes. Streaming on Netflix with a PG rating.

In this Halloween special, almost the whole "Sing" cast is back. Everyone except "Rosita," played by Reese Witherspoon, the mom pig.

Instead of getting the buildup to their usual amazing performance, you start right at the beginning of the show. You see "Buster Moon," played by Matthew McConaughey's latest production, Michael Jackson's "Thriller."

After a great performance, the whole cast goes out for a night out on the town. But something is off as everyone is resembling zombies from the show because of a mysterious ooze they came in contact with. In this short film.

"Sing Thriller" disappointed me. But only for one specific reason. It was too short. I didn't know it was a short film; I just thought Netflix bought some rights so they could branch out from the original film. Then I was frustrated because it was so good.

"Thriller" came out in 1982, and it's still a slap. I was on my couch, getting busy doing the moves as I watched. It's a fun film that will brighten up your mood. I needed that after a disappointing last week.

Oh, I lied. There was one other thing I wasn't feeling: why wasn't "Rosita" in the film? Even if they didn't use her voice for the character, they still showed them. You didn't hear Reese Witherspoon or see "Rosita" at all. I wonder why.

I love the "Sing" franchise, and all this did was make me want it more. I hope they make a third official film, and if they do, I'm in there. A short film that is worth your time. Watch it twice, back to back. It's that much fun. It reminded me of watching my daughter recently in her musical. Nothing beats a great performance. I give this film five mor fires 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

#SingThriller.

I just finished watching Sing: Thriller (2024) and it is a fun little Halloween short for the kids to watch.

Positives for Sing: Thriller (2024): I surprisingly had fun with this short especially since I'm not crazy about the two Sing movies. It was cool to see these characters sing to Michael Jackson's Thriller. This short is perfect to get the family into the Halloween season. And finally, the short is only 11 minutes and you can get through it with no problem.

Negatives for Sing: Thriller (2024): While I certainly liked this Halloween short, it's not something that I would go back and rewatch every Halloween. A lot of that is probably because I'm not into the Sing movies. Also, this short does the cliche that a lot of movies and shows do a lot of times and make experience a dream sequence and as we all know we hate dream sequences.

Overall, Sing Thriller (2024) is a fun little short for the kids to enjoy during the Halloween season.
