I'm not sure what's more mind-blowing. The fact that the studio managed to pull off one of the most iconic yet difficult dance routines of MJ's career with multiple models of different sizes, and successfully mirror the music video it came from, or the fact that Illumination Studios, of all businesses, with its track record for mediocre films, was the one who pulled this off! People would generally think Sony, Disney, or even DreamWorks would pull this off, but Illumination?!?
Probably the fact that they replicated the same dance with so many characters models. Really, anyone’s capable of referencing the scene. But when they actually do it, it's never the whole routine. So being able to do the entire thing while also being accurate to the original is respectable, regardless of who makes it. Still, major props to Illumination, of all studios, for making it happen.
You call Illumination films mediocre (which isn't wrong), but they've never made an ugly movie (Except maybe "Hop"). You can call some of the character designs weird and/or bland and call their humor crude. But, their movies have always been appealing to the eyes. From the colors, to the textures, to the movements, their animation has always been a strength. I think this short is their way to just flex some of their animators' talent (AND make a Halloween thing they can license out every year or something).
@zanpakutoman4225 I know. I don't disagree there! My comment was about complimenting the animation, cause I don't think anybody could have expected Illumination to make an animated short heavily based on Michael Jackson's original music video, let alone perfectly replicate the dance routine. And it's definitely a treat to watch, and is a wonderful way to introduce the present kids to one of the biggest music icons in history. Literally, the only gripe I have with the short is that it not only has the same narrative pacing problem as MJ's OG music video, but it unfortunately makes the pacing problem of the original more prominent.
Like every October, it is the perfect way to pay tribute to the greatest hit by the King of Pop and a great way to celebrate Halloween by playing Thriller. MJ would be very pleased.
Let me just say, they nailed this with the animation! It looks so good, the vocals too! Good thing that Micheal’s songs still get the love and appreciation they deserve ❤
well you'd expect animation studios to do things like this but not do the exact moves and have a lot of differences, this one they cooked and almost had no differences at all
Thriller is definitely my favorite Michael Jackson song, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well they animated this, and did well with staying true to the original chorography.
I’m with you guys, even though I don’t have Netflix anymore, (which is the only way to watch this) just the fact that an animation subsidiary of Universal with only 15 films under its belt, was able pull of such a sick dance sequence replicating the famous music video.
I grew up listening to Michael Jackson music since i was so young, and it still hits the hearts of everyone who loves Michael Jackson. My childhood hero!
Done watching the Short with my Mom just i gotta This "Sing Thriller" Is one of my Favorite than the Shrek Thriller tbh. I was Laughing and Shocked at the Same time, and I gotta say this Halloween short is to Pay Tribute the King of Pop Michael Jackson!
Just saw this. Absolutely love it. I adore anything from this franchise. Literally the only thing they did wrong in this, was (spoiler)... the last "twist" where Crawley turns around to show her hypnotized/zombified eyes. One of them is a fake eye! It should have been the usual glossy sheen! It would have been a beautiful attention to detail!
HOLY THIS IS GOOD, consider they somehow added an extra that wasn't in the music video and it adds voices to it almost made me say "bro MJ's voice is too high" at the part where they actually sing, just weow
As a kid I always thought they were singing "get her" but when I got older and look at the lyrics they were saying "thriller" man. I remember playing this song in my bedroom I ruined my cassette stereo because I played the cassette so many times.
The amazing thing with the sing version and the sing franchise as a whole is that we get to hear these beloved celebrity’s voices. And we get to hear them sing these incredible songs! Scarlet johanson did great😂 never thought i would hear her sing thriller❤
I mean, when I was a chyyyld in 1982(or 83), i wasn't old enough to stay up and watch Thriller when it was first shown on TV. And now kids of any age can watch a GCI animation of the dance routine on social media. How times have changed...
October is the perfect time to pay tribute to the iconic hit by the King of Pop. This is the best cover of one of Michael Jackson’s most legendary songs ever!

Why does this make me happy. Like introducing younger generation to MJ is always a good thing.
THIS is the type of things we should be introducing the younger generations to. 😊

It is outrageous that the way they animated the choreography for this song is so accurate, it is nearly identical to the real thing.
Outrageous isn't a good word btw 😭

Best cover of one of Michael Jackson’s most iconic songs, ever!
For sure
I really like how they did good quality animation the whole way through. The voices and dancing are great.
Like every October, it is the perfect way to pay tribute to the greatest hit by the King of Pop and a great way to celebrate Halloween by playing Thriller.
MJ would be very pleased.
Tienes razón
KING OF POP FOREVER!!

Johnny's whoo hoo was just incredible
Indefinitely :-)
Taron Eggerton is a great singer as well as actor!
Thank Taron Egerton! He’s got pipes!!! You should listen to his cover of “I’m Still Standing”
I agree with ya
If Michael Jackson was still here, he would be proud.
For Both DreamWorks and Illumination?
He would be the most famous person in the world after Jesus Christ
Something tells me he's still alive tho
May he rest in peace
My mom think he more would be mad bc of what ppl have said he have did
Hearing Johnny hit that "woohoo!" for some reason, it felt right!
Absolutely yes, I agree with you
Let me just say, they nailed this with the animation! It looks so good, the vocals too! Good thing that Micheal’s songs still get the love and appreciation they deserve ❤

It’s not that deep on god 🙏😭

Reminds me of Shrek Thriller when everyone is zombified except for Shrek.
That's what I'm sayin
Thriller is definitely my favorite Michael Jackson song, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well they animated this, and did well with staying true to the original chorography.
Respect illumination for to recreate the entire dance 🎉🙏

Respect for Michael Jackson
What a nice gesture from Illumination to pay tribute to Michael Jackson, simply great. Michael would be very moved and grateful.
I grew up listening to Michael Jackson music since i was so young, and it still hits the hearts of everyone who loves Michael Jackson. My childhood hero!
We miss you Jackson
I know right 🕺🕺🕺🕺
We all do, he's a legend
I think they made this movie just so they could just have this one part
Since I met Michael Jackson at a concert. Michael Jackson was such a loved and kind.
Shrek: Oh no, not this. NOT DANCING!?!
Oh yes. Dancing.

Rest in peace Michael Jackson ♥️🙏😭
I KNEW they were gonna play that song as soon as I saw the title of the movie!
It’s because the title is sing thriller isn’t it :/
It's actually insane how well they pulled this off. SCENE FOR SCENE it's nearly IDENTICAL to the music video. This was amazing !!

The Shrek version was good, but THIS was outstanding!! And how everyone was singing along with the backup vocals!!🤌👌
As a kid I always thought they were singing "get her" but when I got older and look at the lyrics they were saying "thriller" man. I remember playing this song in my bedroom I ruined my cassette stereo because I played the cassette so many times.
They even got all the camera angles right! I love this so much.
I just watched thriller today, I didn’t know it was off Micheal Jackson’s.
It’s awesome how sing made references from the music video r.i.p Michael
The amazing thing with the sing version and the sing franchise as a whole is that we get to hear these beloved celebrity’s voices. And we get to hear them sing these incredible songs! Scarlet johanson did great😂 never thought i would hear her sing thriller❤
The music is so iconic. RIP to the greatest - MJJ.
yes kids ...watch and learn who was the king of all kings.
Michael Jackson

King of Pop
My literal excitement when I saw them do the actual dance was awesome
You should make more of this
