After staging a spectacular version of Thriller at the New Moon Theatre, Buster Moon and the cast of SING leave to celebrate at Clay Calloway’s Halloween party. But when our heroes arrive at the party they discover a mysterious, multi-coloured ooze has transformed Clay and his guests into dancing freaks.

Based on the short film “Michael Jackson’s Thriller” – “Thriller” Music and Lyrics by Rod Temperton.

ABOUT THE FILM

Just in time for Halloween. The crew behind the animated blockbuster Sing is putting together a spooky new take on Michael Jackson’s classic song “Thriller.” In an animated short film based on Jackson’s own game-changing music video, the animal musicians are tasked with putting on another showstopper. But as the song says, they may have to contend with creatures crawling around the neighbourhood. In this case, though, that crawling looks a lot more like dancing.

Directed by Garth Jennings (Sing, Sing 2), and produced by Chris Meledandri (Despicable Me and Minions franchise, Sing franchise, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Secret Life of Pets franchise, Lorax, The Grinch), this is one party you won’t want to miss.
