Scarlett Johansson is a punk-rock porcupine in ‘Sing’

New animated movie "Sing" has an important message for all the dreamers out there: "Don’t let fear stop you from doing the thing you love."

Ready to rock out? Garth Jennings' "Sing" features 85 hit songs as intepreted by an adorable lineup of cartoon animals voiced by Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton and Tori Kelly. 

McConaughey plays Buster Moon, a dapper Koala who wants to revive his theater by hosting the world’s greatest singing competition. 

Five lead contestants emerge: A mouse (MacFarlane) who croons as smoothly as he cons; a timid teenage elephant (Kelly) with an enormous case of stage fright; an overtaxed mother (Witherspoon) run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets; a young gangster gorilla (Egerton) looking to break free of his family’s felonies; and a punk-rock porcupine (Johansson) struggling to shed her arrogant boyfriend and go solo.

Each animal arrives under Buster’s marquee believing that this is their shot to change the course of their life.

"Sing" opens in Philippine cinemas on January 08, 2017. — AT, GMA News
