Sing: Thriller

I know, I know, it's just a short for the Halloween, don't take this too seriously (some probably may say)

I'm a big fan of Sing 2 because of Clay's appearance. Thus when i saw this, i was so excited to see some cameos of Clay and the least I could say was I am not disappointed since there were some scenes of him (probably about 20~30 seconds of him standing there acting like a zombie i suppose)

But noticing how only few of the voice actors are listed there (and of course not including Bono), i would pretty much assume nothing much is gonna happen in this one and i was right. It's pretty much the same song of "thriller" by MJ sung and danced over and over. I understand the dances are the same as the old music videos but I'm not a fan of it and was getting chills and feeling cringe on those part.

Considering that this is the only content after Sing 2 and it's supposed to be a Halloween content, it's fine.

Hoping for Sing 3 to be released on 2026!

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!

Hitting it out of the park again with great animation! Loved it the musicality and dance coordination were perfection. A great tribute to one of the best music videos of all time! Another great addition to the SING series. Better suited to adults that younger kids who may not get the relevance of the video/ song. Also some funny moments a great quick snippet for the season of Halloween. All the favourite characters featured makes me want another SINGLE moves asap! Have seen some reviews referring to the MJ song featuring however it still remains one of the most iconic music videos of all time.

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 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
