《欢乐好声音》(Sing)是由曾制作过《小黄人大眼萌》的美国环球影业公司出品的动画喜剧片。

故事讲述了名叫巴斯特·穆恩(Buster Moon)的考拉从小喜爱舞台剧和音乐剧,长大后他接手了镇上最老的剧院,但由于经营惨淡,面临破产倒闭的局面。巴斯特立志要重振剧院生意,于是想出了歌唱大赛这个点子,希望能够通过大赛表演来吸引全镇居民再次光顾剧院。通过层层选拔,摇滚叛逆少女豪猪阿什(Ash)、不愿与老爹为伍的黑帮二代公子大猩猩约翰尼(Johnny)、生了25只小猪想要摆脱平淡生活的主妇罗西塔(Rosita)、不穿亮片紧身衣进行劲歌热舞就觉得将在舞台上失去光芒的公猪甘特(Gunter)、自私滑头的老鼠迈克(Mike),以及患有舞台恐惧症的小象米娜(Meena)最终将在舞台上大展歌喉,唱出他们心中的梦想。最后,演出非常成功,巴斯特也获得了赞助人对剧院的投资。

Scene A

Eddie: Good morning, Buster.

Buster: Hey, Eddie. How are you?

Eddie: Good. How’s the show going?

Buster: Ah, it’s going great. Hey, that’s a sharp jacket you’ve got on today.

Eddie: Oh, thanks. Wait. Ah! What are you doing here?

Buster: Eddie, you can’t come visit your Nana without bringing her some flowers. Here.

Eddie: What? No! Buster, no! Don’t go in there!

Servant: Yes, can I help...?

Eddie: Buster!

Buster: Ah, Nana! Just look at you, dear. Wow! You don’t look a day over 90!

Eddie: Oh, my gosh!

Buster: Buster Moon! We met at Eddie’s graduation.

Nana: Oh, lucky me. A visit from my useless grandson and his ghastly little theater friend.

Buster: Look at that, she remembers me. Okay, Nana, how would you like to be the sponsor for a very prestigious prize?

Nana: Not for that singing contest I saw on the news.

Buster: That’s the one!
