History Characters / SingCalatonia

* CharacterTic: He tends to give a loud huff whenever he's frustrated.

* FollowInMyFootsteps: He wants Johnny to be a member of his gang, he pushes him to have a more involved role in their heists, and he also tries to toughen him up to prepare him for a gangster's lifestyle. Eventually, he realizes Johnny is already a remarkable young man just the way he is (possessing a gift that will carry him far in life), and he learns to properly respect his son as an individual.

* {{Determinator}}: Bested steel prison bars in a concrete wall, a several-story drop onto a moving vehicle and a lengthy helicopter chase over the rooftops all to tell Johnny he's proud of him.

* IHaveNoSon: After Johnny's absence from the gorilla gang's greatest ever heist causes them to be arrested and exposes their secret identities to the police, Marcus is furious with him. When Johnny also admits that he doesn't want to be in his gang at all and would rather be a singer, he bitterly throws this trope him.

* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:In the sequel, it's quite apparent that his love for Johnny and his newfound respect for his son has changed him for the better and caused him to get his priorities in life in order as well.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/big_daddy.jpg]]

* HeelRealization: Seeing Johnny's final performance causes Marcus to realize how badly he'd treated his son. He even breaks out of prison to apologize.

* IHaveNoSon: Throws the trope at Johnny when the latter finally tells him that he doesn't want to be part of his gang. The fact that he indirectly caused his arrest (while not his fault) doesn't help.

* InASingleBound: He performs this many times over after he escapes prison to apologize to Johnny for selfishly disowning him.

* {{Hypocrite}}: After attacking a monkey for not giving him a satisfactory amount of money, stealing his inhaler while he's having an asthma attack, and even taking his whole wallet, Mike has the nerve to call the poor guy a "bully". To say nothing of him spending the entire competition belittling and insulting his fellow contenstants.

* ShoutOut: He wears a suit very similar to [[Literature/{{Babar}}]].

* GenkiGirl: All of them are very bubbly and energetic.

* OutOfFocus: Outside of an appearance on a photo, neither of them actually show up in the movie.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Not even he’s happy to hear Jimmy Crystal insult his wife during rehearsals off set in the sequel

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When he sees Johnny perform on TV during the climax, he realizes that it really ''is'' his true calling, and is happy and proud as punch... until he remembers the previous moment. The look on his face says it all...
-->'''Marcus:''' [[IHaveNoSon My son...]]
* NobleDemon: He might be a criminal and has a harsh personality, but he ultimately does love his son and apologizes to him after seeing him perform on TV. [[spoiler:From there, he continues to change for the better. In the sequel, his relationship with Johnny has grown stronger and warmer from the events of the first film, and he's more than willing to give him and his friends a helping hand when they need one]].

* PapaWolf: You have to be this when you're willing to ''break out of prison'' just to apologize to your son. [[spoiler:In the second film, he and his boys drop everything they're doing and travel to Redshore city to help Johnny and his friends defy Jimmy Crystal and protect the theater troupe (his son included) from the businessman's wrath.]]

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Besides the visual clue of Mrs. Noodleman and Nana sharing wool color, their kinship to the diva is never clarified; adding to the confusion, the older Noodleman's husband is neither seen nor mentioned and it's never specified whether they had sons or daughters.

!'''Other Residents'''
[[folder:Buster Moon's Father]]
Buster's dad. Born from humble means, he nurtured his son's potential, working a demeaning car wash job to help him buy the Prairie Theater before passing away. Although gone, his memory inspires Buster to keep the business afloat.

* BadJobWorseUniform: He was a street car-washer and, as demonstrated by Buster during his DarkestHour, the only thing he needed was a speedo to physically rub suds over the vehicles.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: He worked hard to make sure Buster had a better life than just washing cars, even helping him buy Moon Theatre, and it's implied that he's long since died before the start of the film (though he did see Buster grow up, unlike many examples.)
* DotingParent: Encouraged Buster's aspirations to be a theater man, to the point of using his saved funds to buy him a venue of his own.
* NoNameGiven: Buster simply refers to him as "Dad".

[[folder:Becky]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/becky_1080p_upgrade.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TaraStrong
A porcupine and the girl that Lance cheats on Ash with.

* SwallowedWhole: The leader's preferred method of dealing with Mike is to try to eat him. He tries it twice.

* BadJobWorseUniform: He was a street car-washer and, as demonstrated by Buster during his DarkestHour, normal attire was a speedo since it was about using the body to rub suds over the vehicle.

-->''By the way, I love your act. Seriously, the part where you fall flat on your face, that cracks me up every time. See ya round, Porky!''

* DirtyCoward: After the prize money is revealed to be far less than advertised (and certainly not enough to clear Mike's debt), he claims to the bears that Buster is the one they have a problem with, not him (in spite of the fact that the bears hadn't even ''met'' Buster until that point).

* {{Hypocrite}}: After attacking someone for not giving him a satisfactory amount of money (and taking the poor guy's wallet), Mike has the nerve to call him a "bully".

** He's the first to become incensed at the revelation that Buster didn't immediately come clean about the prize money being nowhere near the amount that was advertised on the flyers and choosing to keep the knowledge of the typo to himself.

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: His father worked hard to make sure Buster had a better life than just washing cars, even helping him buy Moon Theatre, and it's implied that he's long since died before the start of the film (though he did see Buster grow up, unlike many examples.)

* DomesticAbuse: An emotional example. Though not physically violent, Lance is shown to be very controlling and toxic towards Ash. He constantly belittles her when she overshadows him, insists that she isn't as talented as he is and should just be his backup singer, and dismisses her whenever she contradicts him or tries to have any kind of independence, including wanting to write her own sing for the competition. When Ash joins the competition against his wishes, Lance cheats on her with another singer while she's not home, and [[NeverMyFault tries to pin the blame on Ash when she finds out]].

[[folder:Mike]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mikenongas.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SethMacFarlane
Part of the original line-up of finalists for the singing competition, he's a white mouse street basker with a greedy and egotistical ego toward his own talent.

* BadassBoast: His entire song in the final show -'My Way'- is a monument to him and his ego. A monument that is exquisitely sung and doesn't stop even when interrupted by an updraft created by two helicopters.
* DirtyCoward: After the prize money is revealed to be far less than advertised (and certainly not enough to clear Mike's debt), he claims to the bears that Buster is the one they have a problem with, not him (in spite of the fact that the bears hadn't even ''met'' Buster until that point).
* DoingItForTheArt: Definitely averted, if Mike can't get anything out of performing he likely won't do it. In the final show, he only goes back because he was challenged with LetsSeeYouDoBetter.
* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. Mike is an arrogant and self-absorbed douche-bag with little to no morals but he is one hell of a singer-musician, and he knows it. More than money or even his own life he loves showing off his talent.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: None of the other contestants seem to have any patience for his arrogant attitude. They barely tolerate him with the fact that he often minds his own business when he's not insulting them. That being said they are all amazed by his singing and watch (whereas in the previous songs at least one person was getting ready or depressed). The only ones he seems to get along with are Johnny (cause they don't really interact), Ash, and sometimes Rosita.
* HiddenDepths: Though it's likely out of pride rather than any moral reason, Mike has enough principle to not resort to sabotaging the other contestants. He's way too full of himself to feel like he'd need to, anyway. He is also capable of acknowledging other people's talent, as [[PetTheDog he was genuinely impressed]] when Meena conquers her stage fright and belts out "[[Music/StevieWonder Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing]]" during the final performance.
* {{Hypocrite}}: After attacking someone for not giving him a satisfactory amount of money (and taking the poor guy's wallet), Mike has the nerve to call him a "bully".
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: He carries this attitude throughout the whole competition, as he never interacts with the other contestants aside from insulting them to their faces, and while he does occasionally have a less hostile attitude with them, he still finds some way to be a little bit of a jerk (When Ash goes to perform he does move out of the way and bows but states, "Moody teenager coming through". When he interacts with Rosita he doesn't maliciously insult her and tells her he loves her act but only when she falls and calls her porky albeit non-maliciously). When the local news station interviews him while waiting in line for his audition, he actually mocks the notion that it's "taking part" that really matters.
* InsufferableGenius: A musical example, Mike is a talented musician and singer, but looks down (ironically, considering his height) on the other contestants. He still shows he's capable of showing respect to Meena.
* {{Irony}}:
** A mouse who sings songs made famous by the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_Pack Rat Pack]].
** He is first seen playing a saxophone for money on the street, but is later shown to be a great singer.
* JerkassHasAPoint: As much of a mean-spirited asshole he is by dismissively mocking the other contestants, there are two moments where he makes a rude yet accurate point.
** While his delivery was harsh, he wasn't wrong to get impatient at Meena for holding up the line for the other contestants during the auditions when she froze up on stage.
** He's the first to become incensed at the revelation that Buster didn't immediately come clean about the prize money being nowhere near the amount that was advertised on the flyers and choosing to keep the knowledge of the typo to himself.
%%Don't list {{Jerkass}} if one of its Sub-Tropes (i.e. JerkWithAHeartOfJerk and/or JerkWithAHeartOfGold) already got listed.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mike is rude and abrasive to everyone, but does have his nicer moments. For instance, he's actually happy when he sees Meena sing and thanks his girlfriend when she saves him from the bears. Guess he's not as shallow as he lets on.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: At first. For example, there are moments that show him being polite to people but not really for a genuine reason (Buster, the bull at the bank, the audience that's clapping for him, and Derek with the latter though it's implied they are really friends). He also could be this with the contestants at times. For example, when Ash is heartbroken after breaking up with Lance, Mike does move out of her way and give a respectful bow but states, "Moody teenager coming through." (Not that she wasn't moody at the moment). Another example is when it seems he is being nice to Rosita stating he loved her act but reveals that he only meant the part where she fell and does give her a friendly goodbye but calls her porky (albeit non-maliciously).
* KarmaHoudini: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Sure, the bears with whom he played poker engaged in DisproportionateRetribution, but Mike's cheating on his poker game with them was the one that started that mess. While he ends the movie still on the run from the bears, Mike essentially got away with said cheating, along with his rude attitude towards everyone. As he's absent in the second movie, [[UncertainDoom his fate remains unknown.]]
* MoralMyopia: He becomes angry at Buster for lying about the prize money, even though he himself had cheated the bears.
* TheNapoleon: As a mouse, he's the smallest of the main characters by far, but compensates for this by having the shortest temper and the biggest ego, convinced he is the only one of the contestants with any singing talent.
* NeverMyFault: Implied when he tries to pass the blame for his actions onto Buster.
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: In-universe, Mike gives the impression of a soulful, classy individual when he's performing on stage or when he's talking to a person who can give him something (Buster, the bank representative who gave him the expensive credit card, an audience that's applauding him as well as the manager of the club Derek but it's implied that his kindness to Derek is genuine) but won't treat anyone else with an iota of respect.
* NiceMice: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Mike is rude and egotistical even though - or perhaps because - he is undeniably a talented musician. Played straight at the very end when he happily acknowledges Meena's talent and thanks his girlfriend for saving him from the bears.
* PetTheDog: More than once, he mocks Meena, affirming she'll be a disaster. But when she finally finds the courage to sing, he's genuinely amazed. He also thanks his girlfriend for saving him and does give Ash a little bow when she goes to perform.
* TheRichWantToBeRicher: A pre-emptive variant; After convincing himself he's going to win the prize money, Mike not only gets himself an expensive credit card, but takes part in a card game with the bears (which he cheats to win), all so he can have more money than he already thinks he's going to get.
* SequelNonEntity: The only talent show contestant who didn’t return for ''Sing 2''. The last we see of him is riding off with his girlfriend with the bears in pursuit, so it’s possible he skipped town after the show.
* ShadowArchetype: To Buster Moon. Mike and Buster both love show business and live from one hustle to the next in the optimistic belief that success is around the corner. But Buster still has his sense of childlike wonder and wants to put on a show that displays the talents of the performers and gives the audience a magical experience. He keeps hustling in the hopes that his next show will be a hit that benefits everyone. Mike on the other hand [[ItsAllAboutMe only cares about himself]] and seeks to make others pay the price for his lying and cheating.
* SwallowedWhole: By a bear gangster, more than once. The mouse he's been courting the whole movie shows up in a BigDamnHeroes moment to rescue him the second time.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Evil is a stretch but he is easily the biggest jerk among the performers, but despite his morally questionable activities outside the show, he has enough confidence in his singing that he doesn't resort to sabotage or cheating in the contest. He also still performs in the finale even knowing there will be no monetary reward, but not before his talent is questioned.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: A narcissistic, entitled musician whose rudeness, snark and jackassery toward the other contestants is PlayedForLaughs.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Because he is convinced by his ego that he's going to win the prize money, Mike gets an expensive credit card so as to go out clubbing and gambling--where he cheats, thus earning the ire of the Bear Mafia. When they come after him he's already spent the money (possibly in paying off the credit card...), so is forced to confess about the prize money to pay off his debt...which leads them to crash the special rehearsal for Nana Noodleman where the prize money is revealed to be (mostly) fake, eventually culminating in the chain reaction that destroys the Moon Theatre.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Rosita. They are seen rehearsing after each other. Mike is seen as less hostile towards her when they first interact but still (non-maliciously) rude. While Mike does insult her and Gunter while they are performing and she is less than pleased to see him come back but when he starts singing she can be seen smiling.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Literally in this case -- Mike ends the movie with the Bear Mafia still chasing him, there's no telling if he'll survive, especially since he owes both the bank and them $100k. The sequel makes no mention of him whatsoever.

[[folder:Lance]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lance_00.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BeckBennett
Ash's boyfriend in the first film. An egotistical {{Jerkass}} who is resentful when Ash gets accepted into the competition without him. Their relationship ended when Ash caught him cheating on her with Becky.

* DomesticAbuse: An emotional example. Though not physically violent, Lance is shown to be very controlling and toxic towards Ash. He constantly belittles her when she overshadows him, insists that she isn't as talented as he is and should just be his backup singer, and dismisses her whenever she contradicts him or tries to have any kind of independence, including wanting to write her own sing for the competition. When Ash joins the competition against his wishes, Lance cheats on her with another singer while she's not home, and [[NeverMyFault tries to pin the blame on Ash when she finds out]].
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** He was all for auditioning for the show when it would mean he'd be in the spotlight. When Buster picks Ash over him, he starts accusing Ash of "selling out" for agreeing to it.
** Lance accuses her of "selling out" when she decides to go through with the contest when she gets selected and he doesn't. The next day, he tells her to do the "Pop Star Princess" routine Buster wants her to do if she wants to win the prize money.
* HateSink: He's an emotionally abusive boyfriend and an unfaithful cheater without any redeeming qualities in sight.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Lance insists on being the lead singer and songwriter of their band despite Ash being obviously more talented than him, he tries to pressure Ash to quit the competition since he didn't make the cut, and he eventually cheats on her with another singer because she was "never around".
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Implied to go through this after hearing Ash perform her original song, quickly turning the tv back on after Becky turned it off and leaves the room. Played with because unlike Johnny's father, Marcus, Lance doesn't seem remorseful or interested in reconciliation.
* NeverMyFault: After Ash catches him "singing" with another porcupine girl named Becky, Lance tries to pin the blame on Ash for being away all the time due to being in the competition. Her response is that she did it for the both of them as she throws his guitar case at him while kicking the two of them out.
* OhCrap: His reaction when Ash walks into their apartment and discovers him about to kiss Becky while they're singing.
* PricklyPorcupine: A punk porcupine like Ash, except he’s, in Gunter's words, "a total super-jerk dinkleschplatt!"
* SmallNameBigEgo: Believes he's a much more talented musician than Ash, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

[[folder:The Q-Teez]]

A quintet of red pandas who audition for Buster's singing competition. They keep showing to the theater despite not being finalists due to them being Japanese and not understanding English.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: They're really nice up until someone insults their hygiene.
* BitchSlap: [[TheLeader The green one]] gives one to Buster after his jumbling Japanese calls them filthy.
* TheCameo: They appear in ''2'', rocking out to Ash's song in Rick's club.
* TheCutie: Talented, adorable and optimistic.
* TheDividual: They're mostly seen as a group, with [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience the colored outfits]] and facial marks being their only distinguishable feature.
* {{Fangirl}}: Of Ash. They're blown away by her performance of "Set It All Free" at the end of the first film; in the sequel, they are seen among the public head-banging during Ash's set.
* FunnyForeigner: Besides their and Buster's SustainedMisunderstanding, a RunningGag is how they interrupt Buster to show him their routines despite the koala's discomfort. Most of his attempts to dissuade from thinking he chose them often lead to further misunderstandings; e.g. incorporating his finger-wagging to the routine.
* {{Irony}}: They misunderstand Buster's rejection of them and continue working backstage despite his attempts to inform them otherwise. It's only when the show loses two acts that Buster tries recruiting them for real; unfortunately, because he doesn't know how to speak Japanese, he ends up insulting them with them quitting in disgust.
* LanguageBarrier: No grasp of English means Buster spends most of the film dealing with their (unwanted) antics.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Their shtick, wardrobe and name are likely inspired by the J-Pop idol group [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cute_(Japanese_idol_group) Cute]].
* PerpetualSmiler: They never lose their sunny disposition even during elaborated dance routines. The only exception is when they feel insulted, as Buster finds out.
* PunnyName: "The Q-Teez" are indeed cute.

[[folder:Judith]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/judith.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RheaPerlman
A llama who works for the bank who warns Buster that, if he can't raise enough money to pay off his bills, the bank will repossess the theatre.

* BigBadEnsemble: With the Bears though she's far less actively malevolent.
* DeathGlare: When she's taking the property after the theatre is destroyed, she turns and scowls at Buster as he's leaving.
* {{Determinator}}: After having her calls ignored one too many times, she visits the theatre mid-way through the film to confront Buster in person.
%%* HeelFaceTurn: At the end of the film.
* JerkassHasAPoint: As humorless and unfeeling she is towards Buster's dreams and feelings towards the theater. However, she makes two very good points:
** First off, the theater's business has been so bad that Buster has been forced to steal electricity and water just for rehearsals. She's well within her rights to repossess it due to unpaid bills.
** She's also legally correct in that the comeback performance is technically trespassing on property that is not there, done without permission.
* PassThePopcorn: Her threats to call the police during the final show in the rebuilt theatre never come to fruition as she stays to watch the show.
* PunchClockVillain: As cold as she acts, it's her job to either get Buster to pay what he owes or repossess the property if he can't.
* VillainyFreeVillain: Again, it's her job as a worker at the bank to either collect what Buster owes, or repossess the property. Nothing she does in the film is evil by any means. Just cold and direct.

[[folder:Bear Trio]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bears.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}
A trio of gangster brown bears with [[RussianBear thick Russian accents]], the antagonists in Mike's character arc, they relentlessly pursue him for money he cheated out of the bears in a card game.

* AffablyEvil: The leader is friendly with the bouncer at the club, and apparently, they all hold value over playing fair when they gamble. Of course, when they lose their patience, this disappears pretty quickly.
* BadassLongcoat: The leader wears one.
* BatterUp: The leader smashes the prize money chest with a baseball bat, then seems tempted to use it on Buster when it's revealed the money was never real.
* BearsAreBadNews: Never portrayed with any degree of lightheartedness, and always a very dangerous threat.
* BerserkButton: By the end of the film, Mike becomes one for them, especially the leader. Case in point, after they thought Mike drowned in the flooded theatre but suddenly see him singing on T.V., the leader shatters his drink with one hand, shoves his table aside, and the three charge out of the club.
* BigBadEnsemble: With Judith as they cause the destruction of the theater and try to kill Mike multiple times.
* {{Determinator}}: The one good(?) thing that can be said about them is that they do not stop hunting someone who's crossed them. If Mike gets into a vehicle, they jump onto outside of it as it's moving and hold on. Not even almost drowning can persuade them to give up.
* DisproportionateRetribution: They hunt one mouse through an entire city for money he cheated out of them, and when he can't pay it back they eat him without hesitation.
* TheDragon: They are CoDragons to Judith.
%%* EvilSoundsDeep: It adds to their menace.
* GutturalGrowler: All of them have this, fitting as they are bears.
%%* HuskyRusskie: All of them have thick Russian accents.%%"Has a Russian accent" isn't sufficient context for this trope.
* KnightOfCerebus: The most violent and remorseless characters in the whole movie, every appearance by them is played completely seriously. They're more of a threat than Marcus, a KillerGorilla gangster who regularly pulls off heists but deeply loves his son Johnny, while they have no such redeeming qualities.
* NationalAnimalStereotypes: Bears with Russian accents.
* NoNameGiven: The two subordinates -whose names are also not revealed- only call their leader "Boss".
* OutsideContextProblem: At first, they're only Mike's problem, and nobody else in the main cast has any idea who they are. Then Mike tells them that Buster can gives them 100,000 dollars that Mike cheated out of them, leading to the bears inadvertently causing the destruction of the theatre.
* PsychoticSmirk: The leader ends his final scene with one directed at the camera as he's clinging to the back of Mike's car.
* RussianBear: They're a trio of Russian-accented [[TheMafiya Mafiya]] brown bears.
* SapientEatSapient: The boss doesn't so much as bat an eye at eating another sapient being.
* SpitTake: One of them spews up his drink when he sees Mike singing on TV in the climax. He ends up spitting on the bear sitting opposite of him.
* SuperPersistentPredator: They will not stop hunting Mike until they get the money they were cheated out of, or Mike is dead. Even after they almost drown in the flooding of Moon Theatre when they followed Mike there they still come after him again when they see him singing in the final show.
* SwallowedWhole: The leader's preferred method of dealing with Mike is to try to eat him. He tries it twice.
* VillainHasAPoint: While their means with dealing with it are extreme, they only start making Mike's life miserable because Mike cheated on a poker game with them.

!'''Contestants' Families'''
[[folder:Norman]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/norman_2.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NickOfferman
Rosita's husband. A major workaholic with little time for his home life.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther:
** After Rosita and Gunter's amazing performance at the film's end, Norman runs onstage and kisses his wife. It's not out of nowhere as most examples in that most of his dialogue consists of small (sleepy) compliments to Rosita.
** In the sequel, Norman felt sad for Rosita when she wasn't able to jump the diving board during rehearsal. He got offended when Jimmy rudely asked if the "mommy pig" can do her part.
* CharacterDevelopment: Norman has become even more supportive of his wife's dreams in the sequel, whether it's agreeing to watch their kids on short notice so she can leave town and pursue some new career opportunities, or [[spoiler:eagerly helping her create a distraction so she and her friends can commandeer Jimmy Crystal's theater in the climax.]]
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: A big trait of his, used mostly in the first film. It highlights his work fatigue and lack of energy. Tellingly, seeing his wife's performance in the finale is the only time in the movie when his eyes are wide open.
* FailedASpotCheck: Doesn't notice that his wife replaced herself with a Rube Goldberg device until he damages the device.
* HappilyMarried: Worn out by their schedules as they may be, Norman and Rosita are still very much in love with only the occasional reminder needed.
* ParentsAsPeople: Preoccupied with his work due to having to provide for a big family, but he's loving to his wife and children.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Due to long business hours, he often falls asleep in the couch, even in the midst of conversations.
* SoProudOfYou: In the sequel, Norman tells Rosita this, word for word, when he congratulates her for landing the starring role in Buster's play in Redshore City.
-->'''Norman:''' So, the star of the show, huh?\\
'''Rosita:''' Can you believe it? It's literally my dream come true.\\
'''Norman:''' I know. I am so proud of you, honey.
* {{Workaholic}}: He's constantly distracted and fatigued. Going by the one time we see him leave and return, he works at least a 12-14 hour day. However, in his defense, he does have a huge family to support.

[[folder:Piglets]]

Norman and Rosita's twenty-five children.

* BrattyHalfPint: While they can all be this at times, Casper really takes the cake. In his first scene alone, he engages in CopycatMockery of Rosita after hearing her sing while making breakfast.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The piglets are given a starring role in "Gunter Babysits", where they get into quite a bit of mischief while Gunter is trying to watch them for the night.
* FailedASpotCheck: Like their father, they are completely oblivious to the fact that Rosita has replaced her role in their morning routine with a machine.
* TheGlomp: After Rosita and Gunther finish their performance, the piglets promptly charge on stage and hug their mother ''en masse''. They do the same thing in the sequel, not just with Rosita, but the whole group.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: To reiterate, there are 25 of them.
* WeNeedADistraction: [[spoiler:In the sequel, Rosita has Norman "unleash the piglets" in order to keep the hotel security occupied while she and the others put on their show.]]

[[folder:Marcus]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/big_daddy.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PeterSerafinowicz
Johnny's father. The leader of a gang of robbers who wants his son to follow in his footsteps.

* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:Johnny calls him for help shortly before the climax of ''Sing 2'', and as such, he and his gang partake in the final clash between the theater animals and Jimmy Crystal.]]
* ActionDad: [[spoiler:As a brutish gang leader who becomes more of a PapaWolf after his CharacterDevelopment kicks in, this trope applies to him in the second film. He and his crew drive all the way to Redshore City on short notice and fight off Jimmy Crystal's entire security team by themselves, to protect Johnny and his castmates from their wrath.]]
* AllThereInTheManual: He's never given an actual name beyond his gang moniker, "Big Daddy", in either of the two films. According to some promotional materials for the first film, it's Marcus.
* AnimalStereotypes: A giant mountain gorilla and a violent, brutish criminal.
* AntiHero: [[spoiler:He becomes one in the second film. He comes to the main characters' aid in the eleventh hour, when Johnny calls him for help, and he's mellowed out in several ways due to his CharacterDevelopment. As a gang boss, he's still not someone who should be trifled with lightly, and he's more than willing to dish out some street violence as a solution to the theater animals' problems.]]
* AntiVillain: Yes he's a gang leader who has committed grand larceny many times over, but he's also a PapaWolf who loves his son above all (though they could stand to communicate more).
* BadassBaritone: Having the booming voice of Creator/PeterSerafinowicz matches his immense size and personality.
* BearHug:
** He gives a heartwarming one to Johnny when he breaks out of prison to reconcile with him and apologize to him for selfishly disowning him. He hugs Johnny tightly in a way as if he's asking Johnny if he forgives him and Johnny returns the gesture, showing no sign of resentment.
** [[spoiler:In the second film, he and his crew drive all the way to Redshore City on short notice, so they can help Johnny and his castmates deal with some dangerous enemies. Once he arrives backstage at the theater, he gets Johnny's attention and the first thing the father and son duo do is greet each other with a big bearhug, signifying that they've continued to mend their relationship since the events of the last movie.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: At the end of the first film, he realizes he should respect and appreciate Johnny's own natural talents and strengths instead of trying to mold his son into a carbon copy of himself, and he apologizes to Johnny for not being a better father to him. [[spoiler:This growth carries over into the sequel, where he's completely supportive of Johnny's career path, he feels pride in his son for what he's managed to accomplish, and he does his part to help Johnny and his castmates go through with their big show that means so much to all of them.]]
* CharacterTic: He tends to give a loud huff whenever he's frustrated.
* ClockKing: Downplayed as it only applies when he's "working". It's implied he's this when he tells Johnny that the heist will take exactly thirty-seven minutes, and how particular he is on how fast Johnny's driving is. Justified since timing is pretty crucial when you're pulling off heists in broad daylight.
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:He and his gang fight off Jimmy Crystal's security team in the sequel, to protect the Moon Theater troupe. After a prolonged scuffle, they manage to knock out every single one of Crystal's guards, while also sustaining very little damage themselves.]]
* DeathGlare: He gives Johnny a pretty severe one when his son seems to have botched his lookout job. Then again in prison after Johnny confesses that he wants to be a singer, as he's proclaiming IHaveNoSon.
* {{Determinator}}: Bested steel prison bars in a concrete wall, a several-story drop onto a moving vehicle and a lengthy helicopter chase over the rooftops all to tell Johnny he's proud of him.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Though more of an overly boisterous gang leader than fully evil, but he's clearly increasing Johnny's role in the gang because he thinks it's what's best for his son ([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation maybe even so he can spend more time with him]]). Marcus breaking out of jail just to apologize for his actions and tell his son how much he loves him fully solidifies him in this role. [[spoiler:From there, it's implied in the sequel that he's made an effort to go straight so he can remain a part of Johnny's life, and he races to his son's aid when the Moon Theater troupe are put in grave danger.]]
* EvilBrit: A Cockney-accented LondonGangster who regularly involves Johnny in the heists he and his gang pull on banks, container ships, and other sources of wealth.
* FacePalm: He gives one of the long-suffering variety when Johnny is slow to accelerate his driving speed during practice.
* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler:To Jimmy Crystal in the sequel. After making amends with Johnny and deciding his son is more important to him than his greed, he makes an effort to reign in his worst vices so he can remain a part of Johnny's life, and starts to properly appreciate him as an individual instead of just an extension of himself. As a result, his relationship with his son has been fully rebuilt by the sequel and has grown even stronger. In direct contrast to that character growth, Jimmy Crystal shatters his relationship with his daughter Porsha by prioritizing his pride and his vanity over her, making it clear he feels no love or affection for her as a person at all. He never feels a shred of regret about doing this, and unlike Johnny and Marcus, the pair never reconcile by the film's end, with Porsha cutting Jimmy out of her life for good after he's been arrested.]]
* FollowInMyFootsteps: He wants Johnny to be a member of his gang, he pushes him to have a more involved role in their heists, and he also tries to toughen him up to prepare him for a gangster's lifestyle. Eventually, he realizes Johnny is already a remarkable young man just the way he is (possessing a gift that will carry him far in life), and he learns to properly respect his son as an individual.
* GutturalGrowler: Along with his deep voice, he has a natural growl.
* HeelRealization: Seeing Johnny's final performance causes Marcus to realize how badly he'd treated his son. He even breaks out of prison to apologize.
%%* IcyBlueEyes: They're more apparent in close up shots.
* IHaveNoSon: Throws the trope at Johnny when the latter finally tells him that he doesn't want to be part of his gang. The fact that he indirectly caused his arrest (while not his fault) doesn't help.
-->'''Marcus:''' How did I end up with a son like you, eh? You're nothing like me. You never were, and you never will be.
* InASingleBound: He performs this many times over after he escapes prison to apologize to Johnny for selfishly disowning him.
* KillerGorilla: He's a large, intimidating gorilla who's also a career criminal, in contrast to his GentleGorilla son. That said, he's never seen committing anything worse than robberies, and even then he's not armed when he does it.
* LargeAndInCharge: The tallest and strongest gorilla in the film, and the leader of his gang.
* ALighterShadeOfGrey: [[spoiler:In the second film. He's a former robber who's only just recently decided to cut back on committing crimes so he can be a better father to his son; and even after he's made the decision to reform, he clearly enjoys the opportunity to beat people up when Johnny asks him to. However, he does have lines that even he won't cross (the worst he and his gang do to Jimmy and his men, to punish them for threatening Johnny's life, is rough them up), and he can now be counted upon as an ally of the Moon Theater troupe because of his loyalty to his son. He certainly comes off better than his foil, Jimmy Crystal, who shares several of his vices and none of his redeeming qualities (and is considerably more murderous).]]
* LondonGangster: He's a rough, tough, British gorilla from a working class background, who's the leader of a small criminal gang [[spoiler:(though they eventually decide to give up being robbers, because of their attachment to Johnny)]]. Marcus likes to box in his spare time, to stay in shape and hone his skills as a fighter, so he and his boys like to rely on brute strength and their experience as hardened brawlers over any sort of weapons during a battle.
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:In the sequel, it's quite apparent that his love for Johnny and his newfound respect for his son has changed him for the better and caused him to get his priorities in life in order as well.]]
* MustMakeAmends: After he has a HeelRealization over the way he turned his back on Johnny earlier, he decides to break out of prison and leads the police on a manhunt halfway across town, so he can give Johnny the apology he knows he deserves.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When he sees Johnny perform on TV during the climax, he realizes that it really ''is'' his true calling, and is happy and proud as punch... until he remembers the previous moment. The look on his face says it all...
-->'''Marcus:''' [[IHaveNoSon My son...]]
* NobleDemon: He might be a criminal and has a harsh personality, but he ultimately does love his son and apologizes to him after seeing him perform on TV. [[spoiler:From there, he continues to change for the better. In the sequel, his relationship with Johnny has grown stronger and warmer from the events of the first film, and he's more than willing to give him and his friends a helping hand when they need one]].
* NoNameGiven: He's never given a name in either of the two films, except for his gangster boss title "Big Daddy", and even that information is only revealed in the end credits.
* OhCrap: Once when he realizes that Johnny abandoned his post as getaway driver, again when the cops have him and his gang cornered, and a more subdued one when the police helicopters that were chasing him start circling the theatre.
* PapaWolf: You have to be this when you're willing to ''break out of prison'' just to apologize to your son. [[spoiler:In the second film, he and his boys drop everything they're doing and travel to Redshore city to help Johnny and his friends defy Jimmy Crystal and protect the theater troupe (his son included) from the businessman's wrath.]]
* PaperThinDisguise: He and his fellow gang members wear tiny white bunny masks during their heists that do very little to actually conceal their identities. [[spoiler:The masks make a return in the sequel, when Marcus, Stan and Barry step up to fight off Jimmy Crystal's enforcers, and it's implied that they're quite happy to have another chance to wear them again.]]
* PlayAlongPrisoner: After he's arrested he doesn't try to resist because he'll be caught again if he does. Of course, him tearing the wall down with his bare hands just to find Johnny and apologize for his hurtful words earlier proves that he certainly ''could'' have escaped if he wanted to. After reconciling with Johnny, he willingly heads back to the prison before the cops find him, joking that "They'll be wondering what happened to me".
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: [[spoiler:During the sequel, before he and his gang fight off Mr. Crystal's men, Crystal asks where his security is. Marcus responds with "''We're'' security now, mate."]]
* ReformedButNotTamed: [[spoiler:By the sequel, he and his gang have made an effort to go straight so they can stay out of prison and remain a part of Johnny's life. With that much having been said, he's completely onboard with helping Buster and his performers undermine Jimmy Crystal so they can pursue their dreams, as well as dishing out some street violence towards Crystal's enforcers, so he can protect Johnny and his castmates from them.]]
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Johnny's Sensitive Guy. Marcus is a hot-blooded gang leader and professional bank robber who loves a good scrap, in contrast to his more timid and kind-hearted son.
* SoProudOfYou: After seeing Johnny's performance of "I'm Still Standing" on TV, he breaks out of jail just to reach the theater and tell Johnny that he's proud of him for [[FollowYourHeart following his passion.]] and apologize for his selfish actions.
-->'''Marcus:''' (''to Johnny'') I'm so proud of you.
* SuperStrength: There's a scene where he tears a prison cell apart ''with his bare hands''.
* ThreePointLanding: He does one in his first scene after leaping out the window of a bank he just robbed, and again when he sneaks into the rebuilt theatre to reconcile with Johnny.
* TookALevelInKindness: A downplayed example. After he has a change of heart about the way he treated his son, he grows a lot more affectionate and respectful towards Johnny, [[spoiler:which is emphasized even further in the sequel, where their relationship has become noticeably warmer and more supportive when Johnny calls him for protection.]] With that much having been said, he's still a pretty gruff gang boss who can be very ruthless towards their enemies.
* VillainousFriendship: He has one with the other two members of his gang.

[[folder:Meena's Grandfather]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meenas_grandfather.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JayPharoah
Meena's abrasive but well-intentioned grandfather who pushes her to audition for the competition.

* CruelToBeKind: After Meena bombs her initial audition, he puts his foot down on her stage fright. As abrasive as it is, it does manage to get her in the show in the long run.
-->'''Meena's Mom:''' Oh, honey. Please don't cry. You are not a failure. They'll be other chances. You just gotta--\\
'''Grandpa:''' Bah! The heck there will!\\
'''Meena's Mom:''' Dad, please!\\
'''Grandpa:''' ''[To Meena]'' Come on! Don't you want this?!\\
'''Meena:''' Well, sure, but I messed it up.\\
'''Grandpa:''' Then you gotta go back there tomorrow and say, "Mr. Moon! I demand that you let me re-audition!" Be confident! Show them you ain't gonna be pushed around. You got that, Meena?\\
'''Meena:''' Um...\\
'''Grandpa:''' Good!
* JerkassHasAPoint: Meena's grandfather is certainly abrasive, but the story quite clearly shows that he is right about Meena having to overcome her shyness in order to actually sing on stage. Him finally putting his foot down is actually more effective than his daughter's reassurances in completing Meena's character development.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As hard as he is on his granddaughter, it's clear that Meena's grandfather loves her and only pushes her the way he does because he knows how talented she is. He offers Meena a cup of cocoa while she's recovering from the shock of the theater's destruction, and during the final performance he holds up a "Meena Rules!" sign.
* NoNameGiven: He is referred to as merely "Grandpa" or "Dad" by Meena and her mother respectively.
* ParentsAsPeople: He is one of Meena's biggest supporters, but is very hard on Meena when it comes to her stage fright.
* RageBreakingPoint: A milder example than most. After Meena messes up her audition, he angrily chews her out for letting her stage fright get in the way again and practically orders her to go back and demand a second chance.
