A second trailer for Reese’s upcoming animated musical comedy Sing has just been released:

Sing trailer: Animals with A-list voices take center stage

All Buster Moon wants is for his theatre to have one last glorious moment. So the koala, voiced Matthew McConaughey, concocts a plan to attract the community’s focus: an open singing competition.

That’s how the all-star animals end up in the same grand room in Sing, the upcoming animated comedy from the Minions company Illumination Entertainment.

Buster’s cohort, Eddie (a literally sheepish John C. Reilly), tries to guide the small bear into quitting. But his eternal optimism won’t waver: “You know what’s great about hitting rock bottom? There’s only one way left to go, and that’s up!”

After an audition process that yields a spirited “Bad Romance” cover, the field is whittled down to five contestants: a con-man mouse (Seth MacFarlane) with a silky voice; a shy teenage elephant (Tori Kelly); a frantically busy mother (Reese Witherspoon) who cares for 25 piglets; a young gorilla (Taron Egerton) seeking to deviate from his family’s criminal ways; and a punk-rock porcupine (Scarlett Johansson) trying to shed her cocky boyfriend.

Written and directed by Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), Sing opens Dec. 21.
