Dave Moon is a minor character in Universal•Illumination's 2016 animated feature film Sing. He is Buster Moon's father who supported his dreams of washing cars in order to buy Moon Theater for his son.

Background

Personality

Mr. Moon was a kind and devoted person, and willing to work hard to make his son happy, and was supportive, going by his advice to his son, which Buster gave to Meena, "Don't let fear stop you from doing the thing you love".

Physical appearances

Aside from his attire, Buster was the spitting image of his father, standing a little taller than his son. He wore a light-brown flat cap and tortoiseshell glasses along with a green plaid shirt covered by an olive-green jacket. He also wore beige pants and brown shoes.

Role in the film

According to Buster, his father worked his tail off washing cars every day for thirty years to raise enough cash to buy Buster the theater where he fell in love with show-biz. He attended the grand opening of Moon Theater along with his son who hugged him moments after it was declared open.

Buster keeps the bucket his father used in his car-washing business as a cherished memento, along with a framed picture of himself, his father, and his friends at the grand opening.

Trivia

• Given the way his son keeps his father's bucket and seemed to speak of him in past tense, Buster's father is most likely deceased prior to the events of the movie.
• His wife is never seen or mentioned; therefore it is deductible that they are either divorced or she is deceased.
