And now we have the entire cast all together!

Chapter 9: Gathering the Cast Together

Audience: (cheering)

Animation Universe 2005: Like I said, we ain't finished yet because I'm gonna interview the whole cast together and ask them more questions. Then, it'll be your turn to ask them anything!

Audience: (cheering wildly)

Animation Universe 2005: Let's bring them all back in here! Buster, Eddie, Mike, Rosita, Gunter, Ash, Meena and Johnny, come on back to the stage!

Audience: (cheering as the entire cast comes back to the studio as the DJ plays 'Starboy' from The Weeknd ft. Daft Punk and they all greet the audience and take their seats)

Animation Universe 2005: An awesome group of cast together from this really awesome movie! I should let you all in on a spoiler alert...remember when I mentioned that there was a possibility you might be up for an Academy Award?

Rosita: I hope it happens.

Mike: It better, because I plan to attend there with a spiffy outfit that I got at the cleaners.

Animation Universe 2005: Well...I read through the Academy Awards categories and checked out the Best Animated Feature section...Sing isn't on the list.

Cast members and Audience: WHAT?!

Mike: Are you kidding me? The Academy Awards shunned us already? Give me their number because I got some choice words for them!

Animation Universe 2005: Chillax, Mike. It was on the short-list of consideration for being nominated because before the announcements were made to have the actual confirmation, 25 animated films of the year were selected to see which one of them would make the final five nominees. Not that I'm part of them, but I just look it up on Wikipedia before they actually bring out the official ones.

Rosita: Well, it's nice to imagine what it would've been like if we got nominated for an Oscar.

Ash: I don't really care too much about the Academy Awards, so...

Animation Universe 2005: Yeah, they're always so long...like 3 or 3 1/2 hours long, which feels like 300 hours.

Johnny: I'd fall asleep if they're still on, to be honest. (chuckles)

Animation Universe 2005: Okay, now that we got that out of the way...(clears throat) Are ya'll ready for some Q&A?

Mike: Q&A?

Rosita: Question and answer.

Mike: Oh...right, right, right. (scoffs) I knew that.

Ash: (scoffs) Sure you did.

Animation Universe 2005: These are just series of questions that I would ask you guys about each other. If they get too personal, just say 'next question' or simply 'pass' and we'll move on. Most of them are random, of course.

Buster: Hopefully, not too random.

Animation Universe 2005: (clears throat again) All right...between you guys, who's the biggest diva on Sing?

Rosita: Mike.

Ash: Definitely Mike.

Meena: Maybe Mike.

Eddie: Mikey.

Buster: Mike.

Gunter: Michael.

Johnny: (cringes)

Animation Universe 2005: You can be honest, Johnny.

Johnny: I don't want to offend Mike with the question.

Mike: (scowls at everyone) So? It's not like I expect special treatment from anyone. Plus, I feel like a big star anyways.

Buster: We're all stars here, not just one person.

Animation Universe 2005: Next question, who's the most reliable?

Eddie: Buster is the most reliable person you can have. And that's coming from someone that grew up with him.

All: Mr. Moon.

Meena: He's someone that I can rely on when it comes to giving out encouragement when I need it the most.

Rosita: Here here.

Buster: Thank you guys.

Animation Universe 2005: Sweet...next question; name an embarassing moment you encountered before; whether recently or a long time ago.

Buster: Um...probably when I had heard Meena sing so beautifully at the rubble of the theater and we faced each other and I was still soaking wet, wearing my speedo. (chuckles softly) That wasn't my most memorable moment.

Animation Universe 2005: Which we all saw, by the way.

Buster: Right...

Eddie: Mine would have to be back at high school when I tried out for the talent show and I was about to do some breakdancing at the auditorium. I got super into it that I didn't realize that my pants were coming loose and they fell down as I did my grand finale.

Buster: (laughs) Oh yeah...I remember that. That was hilarious.

Eddie: It was embarrassing, Buster! Not only that, but the girl I had a crush on was judging the auditions. She never wanted to see me again after that.

Buster: Well...at least you understood the process of auditioning.

Eddie: Yeah, now...

Ash: Okay...let's see, it happened not too long ago and I was busy rocking out to this song I couldn't get enough of and I was just getting into it that my spikes flew out so fast and it almost landed directly towards the back of Johnny's head and when I turned around, I saw the spike on his head that I thought it stuck through it. I felt like I had accidentally split it open, but Johnny took it all in stride and make a little joke out of it.

Johnny: No worries, Ash. I know you had no intention.

Rosita: Mine would have to be when I was about to get on stage with Gunter to perform and I slipped and fell onto my snout. Thankfully, it wasn't a big crowd, but I was still embarrassed nonetheless.

Mike: (laughing) That was just too funny! Probably the best sight of this audition.

Rosita: (laughs sarcastically) I bet you probably wouldn't say the same when you came out on stage last week with your underwear.

Mike: (scowls at Rosita) Really? You had to go there?

Ash: With a full packed audience too. Now that was funny.

Mike: Zip it, porc-u-punk.

Gunter: Well, my embarrassing moment was when I came out with only half of my tights because the other half was ripped to shreds, so I had to perform with the top part on. Not my biggest moment ever.

Rosita: (silent)

Ash: I think I can live my entire life without that image in my head.

Johnny: (sighs) Well...my embarrassing moment happened when I was 13. I had the biggest crush on this one girl at the park one day and she was just pretty and very beautiful and I had hoped that she would be my first girlfriend. So I practiced kissing her in my dad's mirror and just walked around the auto garage with my lips puckered together and my eyes were closed and then...I actually kissed one of my dad's girlfriends by accident.

Audience: (gasps)

Animation Universe 2005: Say what now?!

Eddie: Really?

Johnny: Yeah...that was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened. And she was 10 times my dad's age.

Animation Universe 2005: Did your dad freak out?

Johnny: I was so grounded after that. I was embarrassed for her and my dad, but my dad was just distraught and a little sickened by that.

Animation Universe 2005: All righty then. That kinda wraps my Q&A's on that note. (clears throat and turns to the audience) Now, it's your turn! We want to hear from you guys if you have questions for Buster, Eddie, Mike, Rosita, Gunter, Ash, Meena or Johnny! Don't be shy, I know you got some burning questions for any of them.

Next up, audience questions!
