Plot hole: After Moon gives his first pep talk about working harder than ever to the contestants, Eddie asks loudly "What about the hundred grand?!" in earshot of most of the contestants. The contestants (especially Johnny or Pete) would have heard that question and started asking their own. (00:24:50)

Plot hole: There's no way that Eddie and Nana left the flooded theater without getting a single drop of water on them. The water flooded up to the ceiling and there's no other way to exit besides the front doors, and Moon's secret exit, which also floods. They do not leave through either way.

Deliberate mistake: The morning after the flyers are spread, Buster is sleeping in a drawer. When his alarm clock goes off, he hits his head at the top of the drawer, but later on, he can be seen standing up in it, easily visible when he is putting his coat on. The drawer obviously became wider for him to stand up in it.

Continuity mistake: When the gang arrived for their first day of closed rehearsals the clock on the front of the theater says about 8:30, but just a few minutes later when Buster goes to get the power back on the clock now says about 11:50.

Other mistake: When Buster Moon is calling out the solo acts for final selection he calls Daniel's name with no megaphone and Daniel can hear his name fine. Then when Buster is making the selecting the solo finalists, Daniel cannot hear him, requiring Buster to use a megaphone to talk to him.

Other mistake: Considering how famous Nana Noodleman is it's odd that everyone is surprised that she's still alive.

Other mistake: When Mike finishes his song and the audience begins applauding him, you can see the microphone cord dangling from somewhere above the sets, despite it previously having its stand on the stage. This is obvious when he's swinging from it. What is it hanging from, thin air? There was nothing he could attach it to while swinging; the cord should've snapped rather than holding.

Factual error: The police are circling the theatre to find out where Johnny's escaped father is. During this, you can see that Mike is getting pulled upwards towards the copters like a piece of metal getting attracted to a magnet. Helicopters create downdrafts - Mike should've been blown away from the stage rather than being pulled up.

Gunter: This stage is about to explode with major piggy power.

Trivia: The way Ash stops playing her guitar and looks at the audience resembles the way Marty does in Back to the Future. Other references: When Buster Moon is trying to connect the wires but they won't reach, this happens in BTTF when Doc is trying to reconnect the wire to the top of the clock tower. The moon theatre even resembles the theatre in the Hill Valley town square (the one near the car park in 1985). The theatre in Sing even has a clock on it.

Question: What happened to Mike the Mouse? At the end of the film we see him escaping with his girlfriend, but the bear is latching on the car. This is the last time we see them and we don't see them at the reopening of the theatre, so what happened?

Answer: I think he escaped from the bear with his girlfriend, sped off very fast and the bears fell off the car.

You haven't read the question. Before it cuts to Meena's performance, the lead bear popped up from behind the car and presumably kidnapped them.

Answer: Mike had to stay with the bears for the rest of his life.
