Buster Moon

Buster Moon is a anthropomorphic Koala who own the Moon theater, he's realized the dream of owning the theater when he attended the show "Epiphany" with his father, but the place has fallen on hard times with nobody coming to the shows anymore. Even though his best friend, a Suffolk sheep named Eddie, doesn’t think it’s a great idea, he decides to put on the world’s greatest singing competition as a final effort to restore the theater's popularity.

He scrapes together $1,000 for the winner, but thanks to Buster’s doddering old lizard assistant due to her glass eye popping out and bouncing off her keyboard, the flyers go out proclaiming a $100,000 prize instead, causing a stir in the animal world. And as Buster fights for his theater’s relevance, five characters become the top talent in the competition all of whom are ultimately trying to define or redefine or find themselves through music and performance.
