While anyone else would have faced reality and switched careers, Buster has an unrelenting drive to succeed, by any means necessary.

Ash will have to go through a painful breakup, but in the end she’ll prove her integrity and sing on her own terms.

Quirky Live-Action Director Tries Animation with "Sing"

While Illumination Entertainment CEO Chris Meledandri has primarily worked with filmmakers who began their careers in short-form animation, the studio's latest comedy Sing marks the first time he has partnered with a filmmaker from live action for an Illumination feature.

Meledandri, who was certain that writer-director Garth Jennings’ unique path would bring distinctive charm to the collaboration, states that their connection began long before Sing’s writer/director even knew it: “I fell in love with Garth’s independent film, Son of Rambow. I felt that he was such an authentic storyteller, and I loved that it was based on his own childhood as an amateur filmmaker.” As well, Jennings’ extensive experience directing music videos informed a curious perspective and grasp of the power of music in telling visual stories. “I had a hunch that Garth’s sensibility would be a perfect fit for this idea that’s preoccupied me.”
