10 More Movie Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed

8. Mike Was Killed - Sing

In a movie aimed at kids, about a group of anthropomorphic animals putting on a singing competition, you'd be forgiven for assuming there wouldn't be much in the way of murder involved. However, though it was done off-screen, and wasn't even addressed afterwards, there is absolutely no doubt that Mike the mouse was brutally killed by a grizzly bear.

Ever since cheating in a game of cards against the bears, the leader was after both Mike's blood and the money he planned on winning in the contest. He had tried several times to kill Mike and failed on every one, until the mouse sang his big final number. Even the lyrics of 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra seem to suggest that this was the last song Seth MacFarlane's character would ever sing.

The final scene Mike has on screen is driving away from the theatre, only for it to be revealed that the bear was still hanging onto the back of the car. That's it. There is nothing else to see, and no reason to believe that he didn't finally eat the little mouse.

At the end of the movie, there is a picture of everyone as they reopen the Moon Theatre, even Pete who hadn't been in the movie since about halfway through. Not Mike though, and there's a good reason why.
