Sing, the latest film from the creators of Despicable Me, writer-director Garth Jennings and with a score by Joby, showed today at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The animated Sing tells the tale of koala impresario Buster Moon and the menagerie of entrants in the singing competition he stages in a last-ditch effort to save his theatre — which just happens to exist in a world populated solely by animals. The film was screened as a work in progress and is due for general release in December this year.

Joby has worked with Jennings on both of the director's previous feature films, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) and Son of Rambow (2007). In Sing, the score elides with a dazzling array of existing songs to bring to life Jennings' original story, driven by its irrepressible central character.

The teaser trailer for forthcoming animated feature Sing made its appearance during yesterday's broadcast of the Grammy Awards. Written and directed by Garth Jennings for Universal/Illumination studios, the film will feature an original score by Joby alongside myriad pop songs as the animal contestants of a singing contest battle it out for the grand prize. Joby has previously worked with Jennings on feature films The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) and Son of Rambow (2007). Sing is due for release at the end of this year — watch the trailer below!
