Gunter

Gunter is a male pig who is one of the secondary tritagonists of the movie Sing, serving as the comic relief. He also stars in the Sing home release-exclusive short "Gunter Babysits".

He is voiced by Nick Kroll.

Gunter is an anthropomorphic pig. While he is rather large in weight, he has great skill in aerobics and dancing. He wears a sparkly golden hoodie and pants covering a shiny red unitard with black dancing shoes.

Gunter is a bubbly, hyperactive, and passionate performer and is not afraid to show how much he loves to sing and dance, and he even enjoys sharing his passion with others, as he tries to help Rosita dance by letting the music tell her body what to do rather than follow a long series of complicated dance steps. His only problem is conveying it in a way that others can understand and relate to. He also shows sympathy for Ash when he hears that her boyfriend, Lance, cheated on her, even insulting Lance.

He gives it his all in performing, calling his drive and passion "piggy power", but can be a little airheaded, as he answered Buster's question to Rosita of being okay after she tripped and fell.

He speaks with a German accent.

Gunter is a boisterous dynamo and double threat singer and dancer who is partnered with Rosita to liven up her act. Gunter feels most of himself when rocking spandex dance leotards and encourages Rosita to loosen up and shed her inhibitions.

"Ja, the two of us, together! Are you joking me? We're going to be spicy, no?"

- Gunter, when Buster Moon partners him up with Rosita

"Bah! Are you joking me? You are just in need of, like, a super cool warm-up. Come on! Let's take off these clothes!"

- Gunter

"Ah, don't you look so worried face! I've got one for you, too!"

- Gunter, offering Rosita a small red unitard

"Is this a part of the competition?"

- Gunter, moments after the power goes out at the Moon Theater

"Don't you worry, Rosita. I have glow sticks."

- Gunter, after the power goes out

"...That total super jerk dinkle-shplat!"

- Gunter, assisting Rosita with a name for Lance after his actions against Ash

"Get ready, cause I'm warning you. This stage is about to explode with major piggy power!"

- Gunter

"Oh yes, I'm fine, thank you. How are you?"

- Gunter, inadvertently answering a question to Buster Moon intended for Rosita, who tripped

"Ugh! Counting, schmounting! She sings too much with her head, right? ... Ja, ja, see? Forget the steps and just like Let the music take control of your body parts."

- Gunter, helping Rosita

"Rosita! Super cool! You've, like, totally come back!"

- Gunter, when Rosita came back after she mastered her dancing at Roc's

"Ja! I'm, like, totally ready!"

- Gunter, while he and Rosita prepare for their performance

"Yeah! All right! Piggy power!"

- Gunter, after his and Rosita's performance of "Shake It Off"

"I insist to Rosita, I'm known as like the very best babysitter."

- Gunter
