Sing 2 is the perfect example of this growth by taking a great ensemble film with real consequences and placing them in an anthropomorphic world....

The second movie was received just as well as the first, but the third ultimately underperformed, per LA Times. There were a number of reasons why this was, according to The Atlantic, which deemed the film “stupid” and “complicated,” but arguably one of the biggest reasons for its downfall was its switch in rating, going from R to PG-13....
