INFO


Nana Noodleman is a female Suffolk sheep who is a supporting character in the movie Sing. She is a retired actress.

She is voiced by Jennifer Saunders. The young version of Nana Noodleman is voiced by Jennifer Hudson.

Appearance

Nana Noodleman is an anthropomorphic black Suffolk sheep. She wears a purple dress and purple transparent sleeves and purple head bands with a purple gem and pink feathers. She has a purple feather fan. She also has a pink necklace. She wears gold earrings as well as three gold bracelets on her arms.

Personality

A grand old dame of the theater, Nana Noodleman fondly remembers her glory days as a theater actress, holding the theater where she used to perform sacred, a place of wonder and magic.

However, she has a snobbish and irritable side to her, that even her own grandson, Eddie, considers her 'one mean sheep'.

Nana has a clear dislike of Buster Moon, considering him a charlatan who has failed to make the theater as beloved as it was back in her day, and refuses to help him in any form or manner. However, she snobbishly accepts to view a private screening of his singing competition (purely because she had nothing better to do), entertaining the idea of providing the prize money if she is impressed, only to ultimately witness the bears' interruption and the theater's literal downfall and leaves while giving Buster a piercing look of fury.

Despite her stubbornness and snooty demeanor however, Nana attends the show Buster and his singers put together and after a successful performance by all of them, Nana not only joins in the applause but gives a congratulatory smile to Buster from the audience.

Nana became a kind and thoughtful person when she buys the theater property and restores it, attending the grand re-opening with Eddie, and has clearly come to respect Buster and appreciate his own love for theater is equal to, if not greater than, her own.

Biography

Nana Noodleman is the wealthy grandmother of Eddie, and a retired theater actress and singer, having performed at the same theater Buster Moon grew up to own and run, and she is partly the reason Buster fell in love with theater.
