When the big show finally happens at the end of the picture? You can’t help but smile. - 80
Variety
While there are no profound life lessons to be found in these subplots, Jennings and his cast manage to deliver a steady supply of laughs, while respecting one of Illumination’s core principles: It’s OK to be silly. - 80
New York Daily News
This is the kind of movie "Trolls" set out to be and with this kind of innovation in animation, it succeeds on far more levels as well. There are just so many laughs to be had but there's also plenty of warmth with a lot of focus put on each contestant's family. - 75
TheWrap
When the characters hit rock bottom, the movie quietly gets more emotional and more sure-handed. - 70
Screen Daily
Sing is colourful, yet at almost two hours, it is also long. Still, if kids aren’t drawn to one singing animal (or familiar voice), there’s always another around the corner, holding up the tentpole. - 60
The Guardian
God, it’s so obnoxious. And the worst thing is that it works. I was smiling and applauding at the end, then I had to take a long walk alone to wonder what was wrong with me. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Illumination’s latest plays to the company’s strengths, with inventive character and background design, hyper-rendered animation that pushes the technology envelope, especially in the realm of lighting and cute sight gags. But just as with, for example, The Secret Life of Pets or Minions (and let’s not even go there with Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax), storytelling remains the outfit’s weak spot. - 42
The A.V. Club
It turns out that Sing’s myriad irritations are a lot more eclectic than its long, long playlist of pop hits.
