My important discovery of the day:

There is a Latvian figure skater, Deniss Vasiljevs, who placed FOURTH at Skate Canada (with Yuzuru in first) and – here is the most important part – is from Daugavpils!!

The “Real” Moon Theatre!

Look familiar?

There are many old theatres in the heart of downtown Los Angeles in the historic Theatre District, but this one, the Los Angeles Theatre, stands out as looking very much like Illumination’s Moon Theatre from Sing! (The Hyperion Theater in Disney’s California Adventure looks a lot like Moon Theatre as well but the Los Angeles was the “original” as it was used as a basis for the Hyperion.)

And if the uncanny similarities of the beautiful architecture outside wasn’t enough, just look at the gorgeous French Baroque interior from the lobby out through the auditorium and onto the stage.

Take a “tour” at their website losangelestheatre.com Or (for a fun tour!) watch the music video from Capital City’s Safe and Sound:

And for your reading pleasure, do a search on the history of the Los Angeles Theatre and the history of DTLA theatres in general. (For some reason this post won’t show up when I add hyperlinks to certain articles so I will leave the search up to you.)

These similarities makes sense, since the movie is based in California. (Oh, excuse me, Calatonia.)

California: the inspiration behind the set design

Regarding the set design, director Garth Jennings stated on The Making of Sing (in the “Extras” on the DVD): “We went for a California-style city. I think it’s kind of a mash between San Francisco, Los Angeles, with some Miami colour schemes thrown in there just to sort of keep it delicious. We had those influences and then just infused all that into our set designs.”

Maybe… Union Station:

Maybe… somewhere on the streets of LA (Tai Chi/Yoga group outside; skateboarding; taco/fruit stand):

Maybe… San Francisco:

Speaking of San Francisco, what does SFJ Bank stand for: ?

Maybe… somewhere that definitely looks like LA:

And lets not forget where Eddie lives (in an LA-style mansion with a pool, probably in some expensive neighborhood like Bel Air or Brentwood? That’s just my opinion)… also where Nana Noodleman lives (looks like somewhere in the Palisades or Malibu overlooking the Pacific Ocean):

I’m  not saying the Los Angeles Theatre is the inspiration behind Moon Theatre, since this was never quoted or confirmed by the makers of Sing. And it’s true that many historical theatres have exquisite European-style interior. But considering the architecture and the setting, it’s something to think about, isn’t it?
