THE OPINION OF THE “WORLD” – TO SEE
The tele-hook shows had been at the origin of All on stage, the first opus of the animated film released in 2017, from the Franco-French studios Illumination Mac Guff (Me, ugly and nasty; Minions). Five years later, it is the musical which, in the second part, gives the “the”. A genre that the authors and the director, Garth Jennings, had great pleasure in investing, if we judge the overabundance of colors, sounds, movements, characters, adventures that the film implements, until saturation, to create the show for almost two hours.
This escalation mixed at a frantic pace gives the feeling of watching a show while sitting on board a roller coaster launched at full speed. Enough to hope for a few stops. They are rare. The American dream is at this price that it cannot be satisfied with emptiness, slowness and idleness. The heroes of All in scene 2 know something about it, who, starting from nothing, have become the heroes of a real success story. Success on which, today, they must wonder, if they want to keep their place at the top of the poster.
Happy bunch of drilles
Remember: the game, at the beginning of the first part, was far from won, for the koala Buster Moon, whose theater, fallen into decrepitude, threatened to close. But the animal was not resigned, had tried everything for everything, by organizing a worldwide song competition, in order to bring together the greatest talents for a show likely to rally the crowds. Initiative, persistence and hard work had finally paid off: the gray-faced koala had regained its splendor. He had assembled a troupe of artists of all stripes: disparate and gifted animals who had helped him save his establishment. All on stage had ended in apotheosis.

The rest is part of the continuity. The happy bunch of drilles are still there: Rosita, the mother sow of twenty-five young piglets; Meena, the elephant with the golden voice; Ash, the young porcupine rocker with a tender heart; Johnny, the chick-sensitive gorilla; and Gunter, the most outgoing singing pig and dancer in the business. All have remained faithful to Buster Moon, and all now contribute to the influence of the theater, as we discover at the beginning of the second part.
