Sing 2

In the vibrant city of Redshore, a world-class entertainment capital, the dynamic animal troop from the Sunshine Theater has set their sights on the prestigious Crystal Tower Theater. Buster Moon, the charismatic koala with an insatiable passion for putting on shows, has finally assembled a talented cast after the smashing success of his debut film and theater production. The group consists of Rosita, the confident and vibrant elephant with a deep love for singing; Mike, the goofy and energetic mouse who is always ready to perform; Ash, the melancholic porcupine with a hidden talent for singing; Meena, the shy and timid elephant with an incredible voice; and Jimmy Crystal's estranged nephew, Clay Calloway, the rock legend lion who has been missing in action for years. With a fierce determination in his eyes, Buster guides his troop through the streets of Redshore, intent on convincing the powerful Crystal Entertainment mogul, Jimmy Crystal, to book their show at the Crystal Tower Theater. As they approach the gleaming office building, the group is met with stern-faced security personnel and stern security gates, designed to keep out unwelcome guests like Buster and his crew. Undeterred, they concoct a plan to sneak into the offices and convince Jimmy Crystal to give them a chance. Meanwhile, Jimmy Crystal, the wolf mogul with an iron grip on Redshore City's entertainment scene, is resolute in his pursuit of success, ruthlessly crushing aspiring artists who dare to challenge his authority. Crystal Entertainment is known for cultivating only the most sensational and outrageous talents, sacrificing artistic integrity for the sake of profit and fame. The formidable wolf cares little for individuality or creativity, as long as the entertainment product brings in money. Buster and his group manage to sneak into the Crystal Entertainment offices, dodging eager-eyed assistants and impressively well-oiled office machinery. Bustling with determined enthusiasm, the group pitches their ridiculous idea of casting Clay Calloway, the legendary rock singer, in their show. The young talents believe Calloway's mesmerizing voice and storied past will catapult their production to unprecedented heights. After an uninterested audience at the office, they give a more impressive, rehearsed, and upbeat performance for Jimmy Crystal in his exclusive office. Overwhelmed by their contagious passion, Calloway's former manager, Crystal, is surprised by Buster's confidence, revealing a glimmer of respect for the young koala's audacity. After displaying numerous memorable and impressive singing performances, Calloway's former manager sees it's the start of an incredible dream he's starting with Buster. The door to Calloway's life has been opened once more; his previous fame will soon transform it. Now at a deeper level of communication and confidence boosted by convincing Crystal to re-cast their show with the legendary Clay Calloway. With Jimmy Crystal giving the nod, Buster sets out on an epic and soul-stirring quest to track down Clay Calloway, now missing for years after dropping out of the spotlight. In desperation, Buster scours the dark past of Calloway and stumbles upon an obscure old rundown songwriting club where the legendary lion singer would often play his original works around the time still relatively active in public. Confident that Clay still harbors remnants of his past fame, Buster approaches him and shares the enthusiasm he feels about their show. However, Calloway remains unconvinced, expressing a deep-seated fear of performing – a phobia rooted in the loss of a close friend. Heartbroken but not defeated, Buster realizes that to convince Clay, his own enthusiasm and encouragement will not be sufficient – a personalized approach will be needed. By finding the special people from Calloway's life, who have been loyal friends for years and can create unforgettable reminisces, Buster builds up the positive narrative he so desperately needs to help overcome Clay's deep-set fear. As Bust and his friends get to collaborate, encouraging songs get underway at a pace, getting played to Clay, producing a great turn-around. Thus allowing this a chance to show and deliver to Jimmy Crystal the entire Crystal Tower Theater. Relieved and finally free from stage fright, Clay agrees to rejoin the stage and sings with passion of the friendship that he shares - returning triumphantly and having triumph after so long a time standing on stage. The rest is history, as the production, which was almost brought down by Clay Calloway's sudden fear, finally blooms under the unwavering effort of Buster and his crew. After opening night comes and goes, Calloway, thanks to Buster, the koala's heartfelt persistence, has a newfound realization that his true love is music.
