Tonight on TV: Proof that koalas can be music stars

With experience in the field of music videos, Garth Jennings switched to feature films in 2016 under the direction of Illumination studio.

His first musical animated film, called Tous en scène, tells the story of the adventures of Koala Buster Moon, who tries to save his theater, which has fallen into disuse thanks to a world singing competition, in which several candidates, all equally cute and funny. , will shine.

In agreement with Boris Jacques, head of digital graphics, the director, in particular, decided to draw the characters from their own animal characteristics in order to surprise the audience.

Thus, Buster is a hyperactive, eternally optimistic character, while koalas are quite gentle and very slow. A way to combat determinism and send a positive message to children and adults alike!

Highlighting an original soundtrack from a wide repertoire ranging from the 1940s to the present day, Tous en scène features the vocal performances of many Hollywood stars, the versatile Scarlett Johansson and Taron Egerton, singers Jennifer Hudson and Tori Kelly, or newcomer Reese.
