<P> In a world of anthropomorphic animals, koala Buster Moon owns a theater, having been interested in show business since his father took him to his first music show as a child . Following financial problems brought up by the bank representative Judith, he tells his wealthy friend Eddie that he will host a singing competition with a prize of $1,000 . But Buster's assistant, Miss Crawly, accidentally appends two extra zeroes, and the promotional fliers showing $100,000 are blown out of Buster's office into the city streets . </P> <P> Animals from all around the city gather for auditions . Those selected include: housewife and mother of 25 piglets Rosita; street musician mouse Mike; mobster's son gorilla Johnny; and punk - rock porcupine Ash . Shy teenage elephant Meena fails her audition out of stage fright, while Ash's boyfriend Lance is dismissed from the contest . Rosita is paired with another contestant, an exuberant pig named Gunter, for a dance routine . Although Buster discovers the flyers show a prize of $100,000 (money he does not have), he remains optimistic . Buster convinces Eddie to arrange a visit with Eddie's grandmother, former opera singer and theater actress Nana Noodleman, to persuade her to sponsor the prize money . She is hesitant to contribute, but agrees to see a private screening of the show . </P> <P> Encouraged by her grandfather, Meena tries to ask Buster for another chance, but becomes his stage hand instead . When one of the acts quits, and another is injured, Meena is added as an act . The performers' individual problems begin to hinder rehearsals: Rosita flounders in her dance routine with Gunter, after having been distracted by her parenting duties that have fallen into disarray . After discovering Lance with a new girlfriend and evicting them from her apartment, Ash is devastated and breaks down while singing her assigned song, Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe ." Johnny is torn between having to help his father as the driver of a getaway car in a heist and making the practices . When he tries to do both, he does not show up for the planned pickup in time, and his father and his gang are arrested . Meena does not get any help in overcoming her stage fright, and Mike, certain that the prize money is as good as his, buys a fancy car to impress a female mouse, and then swindles a group of bears in a card game at a nightclub . </P> <P> The day of the screening, the bears interrupt the show, demanding the money from Mike, who in turn, points to Buster . The bears open the chest containing the prize money, but it is nowhere near $100,000 . The glass tank full of luminescent squids that Buster got to light up the theater breaks under all their weight, flooding the theater, which then comes crashing down . With the lot repossessed by Judith, Buster, who had been living in his theater's office desk, takes up residence at Eddie's place (his parents' pool house). Although the contestants (besides Mike, who saw Buster as a fraud) visit him and try to cheer him up, Buster is too despondent to listen to them . He tries to start over by opening a car wash, using the same bucket that his father had used to earn money for Buster's theater . </P>
