Sing is a 2016 American animated jukebox musical comedy film written and directed by Garth Jennings, produced by Illumination Entertainment, and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film stars the voices of Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly, Jennifer Saunders, Jennifer Hudson, Peter Serafinowicz and Nick Kroll . Set in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, the film focuses on a koala named Buster Moon, a struggling theater owner who stages a singing competition in an effort to prevent his theater from entering foreclosure, as well as how the competition interferes with the personal lives of its contestants.

The film features more than 60 songs from famous artists, mostly performed diegetically. It also has an original song by Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande called "Faith", which was nominated for a Golden Globe. Aside from these songs, Joby Talbot (Jennings’ frequent collaborator) composed the film's score.
