AbilitiesAlong with being able to sing, Rosita learns how to dance by just letting the music tell her body what to do. She is also a skilled engineer, able to build, in just one night, multiple elaborate contraptions that do her housework and care for her family, even when she's not around. Her mechanical skills are implied at the beginning of the movie whenNorman asks her to fix their sink. PersonalityRosita yearns to be more than just a devoted mom to hertwenty-five piglets. She rarely has a second to herself, so she finds her moments of freedom intersect with this passion for music. Rosita is also shown to be caring and supportive to the other performers, as she and Gunter, cheerAsh up afterLance cheated on her. Before she and Gunter go on stage to practice, Rosita also offers Ash her purse, which contains gum. She also allowsJohnny to practice before her, and apologizes to him when Gunter prevents him from doing so. BiographySingHaving given up her teenage dreams in pursuing a career in music, Rosita is a loving mother to hertwenty-five children and devoted wife to her overworked husband Norman. She works as a stay-at-home mom, handling all the cooking, cleaning, and a majority of the child-rearing. While Rosita loves her family, she feels she's in a rut and wants to be more than just a wife and mother, her love of singing persisting. Her family also does not recognize her talent; her kids tease her when she sings and her husband is too tired most of the time to notice her. Rosita's yearning comes to a head when she comes across a flyer for a singing competition hosted byBuster Moon, and she decides to audition. She singsKaty Perry's "Firework" for her audition, and she successfully earns a slot in the competition. Buster states that although she "Has a good set of pipes" she is also "boring to watch," so she is partnered up with the excitable Gunter. Rosita returns home excited and eager to share her experience with her family, but her children are too unruly and Norman is too tired to listen. In order to attend auditions while taking care of her family, Rosita constructs a vast Rube-Goldberg device to do her usual routine. The newly automated housework is unnoticed by everyone. Working with Gunter is initially rocky, as Rosita is hesitant to dance without using printed instructions. While trying to dance during their rehearsal ofTaylor Swift's "Shake It Off", she falls on her face almost immediately after the song begins. Rosita thinks she won't be able to let loose like Gunter, telling that the fire died out a long time ago, and glumly quits. However, while grocery shopping, she freely and passionately dances to "Bamboléo" by theGipsy Kings. This gives her the confidence to return to rehearsals the next day, much to Gunter's delight. However, on the day ofNana Noodleman's rehearsal her contraption at home goes awry, and after she returns home following theMoon Theater's destruction, she finds her children and Norman hanging on the clothing line after her homemade babysitting machine malfunctioned. She returns to the Moon Theater to help fix the stage, leaving Norman to take care of the children. On the night of the show, she smiles at the sight of Norman trying to control the kids. Rosita and Gunter are the first to perform. They sing and dance to "Shake it Off", and while the audience at first laughs at its cheesiness they are shocked when, Rosita and Gunter change into matching sparkly black costumes and put on a great performance. Rosita and Gunter's performance is met with applause, and Rosita's children run up onstage to congratulate her. Norman, completely blown away, follows them, and romantically kisses his wife as the curtains close. At the end of the movie, Rosita (who has returned to her pink shirt and blue pants) and her family attend the grand reopening of Moon Theater with the other characters.

After Gunter switches the music track with his holiday-themed dance remix of "Groove Is in the Heart", he encourages Rosita to dance, only for her to fall on the ice. However, her children and thesquids swimming underneath form the shape of a heart around her. At the end, she and the kids pose with the rest of theSing cast. Sing (McDonald's Happy Meal toy promotion)Rosita drives her piglets to McDonald's, while the children order their Happy Meals in song form. Sing on TourPre-Show In order to stall for time,Mizuki introduces the audience to Rosita, who is practicing her dance routine for Buster Moon's upcoming show. Rosita accepts the impromptu interview, but is interrupted by her piglets, made extra-hyper by Norman's candy. Gunter is impressed by one child's dance moves and decides to incorporate them into the routine, but Rosita points out that they'd be changing it at the last minute. She then follows her piglets as they excitedly rush out of the room. When Buster is finally ready to start the show, Rosita's kids rush in front of him, Rosita following close behind. Sing 2Rosita is participating with her costars as the Cheshire Cat in "Alice In Wonderland", in a showing meant to impress talent scoutSuki Lane, who is looking for performers to put on a show at the Crystal Tower Theater, owned by Jimmy Crystal in Redshore City. Unimpressed, Suki walks out on the musical before it is over, deeming it not good enough. Later, however, Buster convinces everyone they can still audition for Jimmy with their Alice In Wonderland musical and, after a road trip where they entertain the tourists on the bus while they practice, they make it to Redshore. After Karen, Crystal Entertainment's receptionist, denies them an audience with Jimmy, they sneak past her disguised as janitors and make it to the audition room. They attempt to perform their musical for Jimmy, who rejects them before they can get started, but when Gunter proposes a sci-fi musical featuring songs from Clay Calloway called "Out of This World", Jimmy happily grants them permission to put on that show, giving them access to a room at his hotel and a production crew. Buster announces Rosita's lead role as an astronaut with Gunter as her robot partner. She greets Norman and their kids when they arrived at Redshore. During production, Rosita is too afraid to practice a stunt she must do in the show revealing that she has her fear of heights. Buster reluctantly gives her role to Crystal's daughter, Porsha, after a talk with Crystal. Rosita believes that it was for the best. However, she's heartbroken at this and took time alone to get over it even when Norman checks up on her. Buster gives Rosita a different role of playing a green alien. Later, Buster, who was nearly killed by Jimmy, gathers Rosita and the rest of her troupe back to their hotel room to tell them the show is off. Jimmy's bodyguards, who he sent to go after Buster, show up at the hotel room, and everyone follows Buster's order to escape by jumping out the room's window. They reach a dressing room, in which they prepare to put on the show. She calls Norman to release her kids as the distraction in floor 17. Buster puts on "Out of This World", with Johnny getting hisfather and hisgang to perform security while Rosita has Norman release their kids to distract Jimmy's security so they can sneak into the theatre and put on the show. When it comes to their performing act, Rosita is still scared to jump. At the same time, an angry Crystal grabs Buster and attempts to stop the show by throwing him off a tower from the stage, but Rosita, conquering her fear of heights, catches and saves Buster from falling, much to Crystal's fury. This allows her and Gunter to finish their act and perform "Break Free." They watched as Ash and Clay sing "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." The gang then appear on stage and get praised by the audience, but leave when Crystal tries to take the credit only for him to be humiliated by the crowd and get arrested by the cops for his attempted murder of Buster during the show. With the show finally over and successful, the gang begins the journey back to Calatonia when suddenly, Suki stops their bus to tell them that the Majestic Place wants to produce their show. Once Calloway agrees to continue, everyone else also accepts without hesitation. QuotesFromSing
