Sing: Thriller: parents' guide

5+our pick

Best for ages 5 and up. Rated TV-Y.

A short, upbeat Halloween music video built around Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' that most young Sing fans can enjoy. In 11 minutes, Buster Moon and friends head to a Halloween party where a strange ooze turns the guests into dancing zombies, and most of it turns out to be a dream. The zombies dance rather than attack, and the creepiest moments are glowing eyes, a tentacled lake creature and mutant vegetables chasing Meena during a stage number. There's no romance, drinking or real profanity. Age 5 reflects the mildly spooky imagery.

What's in it

Violence

Mild

Very little. A falling stage prop knocks Buster out, and menacing mutant vegetables chase Meena during a musical number. The zombified guests only dance and never hurt anyone.

Language

None

No profanity. The strongest words reported are 'stupid' and 'dang.'

Sex and nudity

None

No romance, kissing or sexual content of any kind.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

None

No drinking, smoking or drug references.

Scary or intense scenes

Mild

Friends and party guests turn into glassy-eyed zombies, a tentacled creature attacks Buster and Miss Crawly at a lake, and the ending hints the spell is real when a character's eyes glow. It's brief, set to music and mostly revealed as a dream.
