!'''Financial and "[[LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub Independent]]" Associations'''

* PandaingToTheAudience: They are cute red pandas.

** Throughout most of the first film, Marcus pushes for Johnny to join his gang and tries to train him to follow in his footsteps as a criminal - partly as an attempt to bond with him - and he's later very disappointed when Johnny's secret passion for singing leads to the entire gang being imprisoned. Ultimately however, [[spoiler:it's Marcus, Stan and Barry who wind up following Johnny's example, after they come to accept that being a singer is his true calling and they decide to give up their life of crime as well, so they can continue to mend bridges with him. Because of that decision, the gorilla gangsters gain a much stronger and more genuine bond with Johnny than what they had before.]]

* 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 second movie 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.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler:During their fight with Jimmy Crystal's enforcers in the second film, Marcus and his gang leave Jerry and Suki (two other members of Crystal's entourage who were abandoned by their boss amongst the chaos) completely untouched, since they're non-phsyical personnel who are clearly not participating in the brawl like everyone else.]]

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:In the second film, it's implied that he's actually started to find his community service work (delivering food to the less fortunate) to be kind of fulfilling, which is made even more apparent in a [[https://twitter.com/caaalef/status/1648066627039100934?t=wGyA-D-haXOwFl64bVkzEA&s=19 storyboarded scene]] that was cut from the final film. It's ironic that a former thief, who used to spend so much of his time taking things, would go on to find it actually feels kind of nice to give something back to the community for a change.]]

* NotSoAboveItAll: [[spoilers:Like Rosita, he's usually quick to scold the piglets when they're being overly mischievous and rowdy. However, he thoroughly enjoys watching them run wild and trash Jimmy Crystal's hotel in the second film, when the family is creating a distraction for Rosita and her friends.]]

* FatalFlaw: He has two initially: his greed and his desire for his son to join his gang. Both of these personality traits wind up setting in motion a chain reaction of events that leads to the entire gorilla gang being imprisoned and nearly costs him his relationship with Johnny. However, [[spoiler:after his HeelRealization and his subsequent HeelFaceTurn, he realizes the error of his ways and sheds both of these traits for good, so he can make things right with Johnny.]]

* FatalFlaw: He has two initially: his greed and his tendency to project himself onto his son. When he decides to have the gorilla gang target a large shipment of gold as their final intended heist and insists on bringing Johnny along with them as a form of initiation, this sets in motion a chain reaction of events that leads to the entire gang being imprisoned and nearly costs him his relationship with Johnny. However, after his HeelRealization and his subsequent HeelFaceTurn, he sheds both of these personality traits for good, so he can make things right with Johnny.

* IHaveNoSon: After Johnny's absence from the gorilla gang's greatest ever heist causes them all to be imprisoned 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 at him.

* IHaveNoSon: After Johnny's absence from the gorilla gang's greatest ever heist causes them all 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 at him.

* 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. Notably, after he leaves town with his girlfriend and never comes back, the other theater animals do not show any signs of missing him in the second film and have grown closer as a group without him.

* AnimalStereotypes: A giant mountain gorilla and a violent, brutish criminal.

** In the sequel, Norman feels sad for Rosita when she isn't able to jump off the diving board during rehearsal. He also gets offended when Jimmy rudely asks if the "mommy pig" can do her part.

* 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.

* TheGlomp: After Rosita and Gunter finish their performance, the piglets promptly charge onstage and hug their mother ''en masse''. They do the same thing in the sequel, not just with Rosita, but the whole group. Buster Moon is another favorite target of theirs, and since he's the size of a koala, he usually gets completely overwhelmed when the piglets decide to pile on top of him and shower him with hugs.

* 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.]]

* BadassBaritone: Having the booming voice of Creator/PeterSerafinowicz matches his immense size and personality.

* 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.]]

* 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.]]

* 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.]]

* 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. After the events of the previous movie, he and his fellow gang members have decided to follow Johnny's example and put in the work to reform, while also continuing to mend their relationship with the youngest member of their clan.]]

* 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]].

* 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.]]

* PreAsskickingOneLiner: [[spoiler:During the sequel, before he and his gang fight off Mr. Crystal's men, Jimmy 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.]]

* 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.

* 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.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Lance doesn't appear at all in ''Sing 2'', implying his split with Ash is permanent. Ash does mention in the sequel that she has a rule about "not letting guys tell her what she's worth"; while she's saying this to an employer over her paycheck, she's clearly referring to her history with Lance.

* 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.

* SoProudOfYou: After he's moved by Johnny's performance of "I'm Still Standing", he decides to break out of jail so he can apologize to him for shunning him earlier. After the pair share a much needed hug, he doesn't waste any time letting Johnny know how proud of him he is for following his true passion, as well as his incredible amount of willpower.
-->'''Marcus:''' (''to Johnny'') I'm so proud of you.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After they hear Johnny sing for the first time and they realize he deserves a chance to reinvent himself so he can follow his dreams, Stan and Barry decide to give up being thieves as well and put in the work to reform so they can mend their relationship with him. In the second film, they later become allies of the Moon Theater troupe, who help them push forward with their Redshore City show.]]

* ALighterShadeOfGrey: [[spoiler: In the second film. As recently retired professional thieves, they are very shady characters, but they are nevertheless reliable allies of the Moon Theater troupe now because of their attachment to Johnny, and they're less amoral than their combatants, Jimmy Crystal and his enforcers, who are currently trying to murder Buster Moon.]]

* 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.

* SoProudOfYou: After he's moved by Johnny's performance of "I'm Still Standing", he decides to break out of jail so he can apologize to him for shunning him earlier. After the pair share a much needed hug, he doesn't waste any time letting Johnny know how proud of him he is for [[FollowYourHeart following his true passion]], as well as his incredible amount of willpower.

* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Mike has never spoken to Johnny once in the first movie, so it's unknown what they think about each other.

* 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.]]

* {{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, with the gorilla patriarch feeling incredibly proud and happy to see what Johnny has managed to accomplish for himself. 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. It even ends up punctuated by the fact Marcus actually seemed to push for it by firmly making Jimmy watch both their kids get standing ovation at the end of the show he tried to ruin. While Marcus cheered for Johnny enthusiastically, Jimmy, even after calming down, only thinks of the publicity the show will grant himself.]]

* PaperThinDisguise: Like every other member of the gorilla gang, whenever they're partaking in illegal activities, they don tiny white mask bunny masks that double as both a gang symbol and a rather ineffective disguise. [[spoiler:In the second film, they seem to be quite happy to have another chance to wear their masks again, when they take care of Jimmy Crystal's men.]]

** In the first film, Norman clearly loves Rosita dearly, but he's usually so distracted by his job or so worn out from it that he's not as attentive towards her as she should be. That all changes during the climax, when he learns about what Rosita has been doing at the theater, he comes to see her in a brand new light, and he couldn't be happier for her.

* {{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, with the gorilla patriarch feeling incredibly proud and happy to see what Johnny has managed to accomplish for himself. 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.]]

* FailedASpotCheck: Like their father, they are completely oblivious to the fact that Rosita has replaced her role in their morning routine with a machine for several days, until the machine finally breaks.
