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.
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
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 ❤
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.
💀👻😈💚🎃 I’m so late, but Michael Jackson would be so proud! I really loved this short! The dance sequence and the homage to Thriller was incredible! I wished it was a bit longer, it was so good!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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❤
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!
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...

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
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 😭

What a nice gesture from Illumination to pay tribute to Michael Jackson, simply great. Michael would be very moved and grateful.
This is by far the most amazing comparison of "Thriller" I've ever seen! Michael Jackson would be proud! 🥰💞
