Tous en scène : Thriller

Directed and written by Garth Jennings. A runtime of eleven minutes. Streaming on Netflix with a PG rating.

In this Halloween special, almost the whole "Sing" cast is back. Everyone except "Rosita," played by Reese Witherspoon, the mom pig.

Instead of getting the buildup to their usual amazing performance, you start right at the beginning of the show. You see "Buster Moon," played by Matthew McConaughey's latest production, Michael Jackson's "Thriller."

After a great performance, the whole cast goes out for a night out on the town. But something is off as everyone is resembling zombies from the show because of a mysterious ooze they came in contact with. In this short film.

"Sing Thriller" disappointed me. But only for one specific reason. It was too short. I didn't know it was a short film; I just thought Netflix bought some rights so they could branch out from the original film. Then I was frustrated because it was so good.

"Thriller" came out in 1982, and it's still a slap. I was on my couch, getting busy doing the moves as I watched. It's a fun film that will brighten up your mood. I needed that after a disappointing last week.

Oh, I lied. There was one other thing I wasn't feeling: why wasn't "Rosita" in the film? Even if they didn't use her voice for the character, they still showed them. You didn't hear Reese Witherspoon or see "Rosita" at all. I wonder why.

I love the "Sing" franchise, and all this did was make me want it more. I hope they make a third official film, and if they do, I'm in there. A short film that is worth your time. Watch it twice, back to back. It's that much fun. It reminded me of watching my daughter recently in her musical. Nothing beats a great performance. I give this film five mor fires 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

#SingThriller.

I just finished watching Sing: Thriller (2024) and it is a fun little Halloween short for the kids to watch.

Positives for Sing: Thriller (2024): I surprisingly had fun with this short especially since I'm not crazy about the two Sing movies. It was cool to see these characters sing to Michael Jackson's Thriller. This short is perfect to get the family into the Halloween season. And finally, the short is only 11 minutes and you can get through it with no problem.

Negatives for Sing: Thriller (2024): While I certainly liked this Halloween short, it's not something that I would go back and rewatch every Halloween. A lot of that is probably because I'm not into the Sing movies. Also, this short does the cliche that a lot of movies and shows do a lot of times and make experience a dream sequence and as we all know we hate dream sequences.

Overall, Sing Thriller (2024) is a fun little short for the kids to enjoy during the Halloween season.

I know, I know, it's just a short for the Halloween, don't take this too seriously (some probably may say)

I'm a big fan of Sing 2 because of Clay's appearance. Thus when i saw this, i was so excited to see some cameos of Clay and the least I could say was I am not disappointed since there were some scenes of him (probably about 20~30 seconds of him standing there acting like a zombie i suppose)

But noticing how only few of the voice actors are listed there (and of course not including Bono), i would pretty much assume nothing much is gonna happen in this one and i was right. It's pretty much the same song of "thriller" by MJ sung and danced over and over. I understand the dances are the same as the old music videos but I'm not a fan of it and was getting chills and feeling cringe on those part.

Considering that this is the only content after Sing 2 and it's supposed to be a Halloween content, it's fine.

Hoping for Sing 3 to be released on 2026!

Enjoyed it throughly, glad they're finally giving Michael Jackson the flowers he deserves after the continuous allegations against him even after his death

And Re enacting the hit song thriller video is the best way to do so! It's not entirely the same, and gave a nice new twist to the classic video. The cast smashed their vocals (they literally hit it out of the park) and done the song justice in my opinion. Had me wanting to dance and sing along to it.

The animation was awesome and absolutely stunning, I seriously wished it was longer which to me is the only real flaw. But overall, it was amazing 👏

What can you say when you have a bunch of anthropomorphic animated characters singing and dancing?

You'd call it Sing's version of Thriller, that's what. Overall, it's cute, with excellent animation and an almost shot-for-shot dance sequence of the video Michael Jackson did many years ago. It's fun to watch the various characters go through their paces, each bringing their unique voices melded with Michael Jackson's voice. That's the good part.

The only drawback to this kind of short is that there's virtually no character development. Viewers who haven't seen either Sing or Sing 2 probably won't know who's what, although Matthew ("All right, all right, all right") McConaughey is featured, and Scarlet Johannson lends her singing voice as well, as does Tori Kelly, who is terrific, as always.

Basically, it's a fun riff on Thriller, the kids will like it, and the adults will probably like it as well. Just go with it, and watch out for the snail!
