Sing: Thriller On Netflix

As it’s Halloween season, there’s a thrilling new twist on Michael Jackson’s legendary hit “Thriller,” brought to you by the team behind the movie “Sing.” In a brand new 11 minute animated short film, inspired by Michael’s 1983 groundbreaking music video, the animal stars of “Sing” are back to deliver another jaw-dropping performance. The new short will be out tomorrow, October 16th, exclusively on Netflix.

Directed by Garth Jennings (“Sing”, “Sing 2”) and produced by Chris Meledandri (“Despicable Me”, “Minions”, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”, “The Secret Life of Pets”), this Halloween special promises fun, fright, and plenty of moves to keep you on your feet. Jennings said;

 “I don’t know if it is possible to enjoy making anything as much as I have done while working on Sing: Thriller. Our awesome cast and team of geniuses at Illumination have gone above and beyond to take one of the biggest hits of all time and concoct a new and very special treat for Halloween.”

The new animated special follows Buster Moon and the gang as they head to Clay Calloway’s Halloween party for some well-deserved fun, fresh off their electrifying performance of “Thriller” at the New Moon Theatre. But things take a spooky turn when a mysterious, colorful slime transforms Clay and the party guests into a troupe of dancing monsters.

Producer Meledandri said;

 “There are very few songs that have made as tremendous of a cultural impact as ‘Thriller.’ With its infectious rhythm, iconic dance moves, and unforgettable beat, it continues to inspire people across generations. Our new short film, featuring the beloved characters from Sing, aims to enchant those who know and love the classic while inviting new audiences to discover it in a fun and exciting way. It’s a timeless celebration of music, creativity, and joy for people all around the world.”

Several original cast members from the “Sing” films are back for “Sing: Thriller,” including Matthew McConaughey as Buster Moon, Scarlett Johansson as Ash, and Taron Egerton as Johnny.

This is one Halloween party you won’t want to miss! Watch it on Netflix.
