What movie puts the protagonist through the absolute ringer for it to all pay off in the end?

No joke. “Sing” It’s this silly kids cover song movie, but it ends up having a wonderful consistent optimism and a brilliant payoff. It’s not an improbable massive “pulled it off” win, it’s surviving through failure and loving the act of making art so much that you keep doing it anyway. It’s joyful and a masterclass in writing a classic story arc without torturing your characters and your audience to get there.

Sing's decision to cast all of its black VAs as a crime family of gorillas is disgusting, though.

Ah. Wow. Didn’t catch that previously. Agreed
