About this movie

For the Tibetan mastiffs living on Snow Mountain, a dog's life has a simple riff: Guard a peaceful village of wool-making sheep from the thuggish wolf Linnux (Lewis Black) and his rabid pack. To avoid distractions, mastiff leader Khampa (J.K. Simmons) forbids all music from the mountain, but when Khampa's son Bodi (Luke Wilson) discovers a radio dropped from a passing airplane, it takes just a few guitar licks for his fate to be sealed: Bodi wants to be a rock ‘n' roll star. Yet that means defying his father's wishes, heading to the city, and locating the legendary — and reclusive — musician Angus Scattergood (Eddie Izzard), who needs to write a new song and fast. If Bodi can put a band together, help Angus with his song, and defeat the wolves' plot to take Snow Mountain, his life will be in tune. Bodi will become what he's always dreamed of being: More than a dog…more than a Rock God…he'll be a ROCK DOG!

Ratings and reviews

3 movies...kung fu panda, zootopia, and sing. No originality in my opinion I mean I get why the panda had powers but there was a story line behind it, this dogs dad just has powers? On a snow mountain...i don't get it. The villains were so stupid and not funny. This movie was the worst thing I've seen since Dora the explorer and my daughter is 7...come on now...

Really inspirational about following your dreams. Felt like a classic but it's worth watching. The music was even really amazing to the soul :). Really recommend to almost anybody and those who love Zootopia and Kung Fu Panda.

Son asked me to turn it off 15 minutes in. He said it was ridiculous. Hes 3 and i guess didnt like it. There you have it.
