Crazy characters take the stage

A QUIRKY and funny animated musical is set to keep the kids happy at Proserpine Entertainment Centre this week.

Garth Jennings, the British director whose films Son Of Rambow and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy delighted, turns to animation with this enjoyable feature from the Minions people, Illumination Entertainment, with the musical effort Sing.

A film where you can see/hear Matthew McConaughey voicing a theatre-owning koala bear named Buster Moon, singing ditties such as Call Me Maybe will always have me stood first in line.

This is what you get with the quirky, well-told animated feature from former music video director Jennings, a film technically could shares a world with two of the other big animated movies of the year so far, Zootropolis and The Secret Life Of Pets.

It's talking animals again this time around - well, singing animals actually - with the action revolving around McConaughey's entrepreneur koala Buster who must put on a show to save his beloved theatre.

Sing is a light-hearted and fun film sure to engage audiences of all ages when it screens at Proserpine Entertainment Centre.
