These two points I'll disagree with. I'm one of the bigger proponents of Animation is just as good as any live action film. That being said, Animation, by the critic, is clearly being held to a higher standard than any live action film. The fact of the matter is, if Sing was live action, it’d be a perfectly ok Christmas holiday film that would appeal to children and adults as something non-offensive and enjoyable two hours. Since it’s animated, it has to become like Pixar, or it’s lowering standards.
Sing isn’t incomplete. It’s light, it’s fluffy. Not everything NEEDS to be art. Sometimes entertainment is just fine. We don’t have to give our children art in everything they watch. It isn’t lowering standards or destroying anything elses potential quality when a movie is just entertainment and not art.
