Who is Ash‘s BF?
As a longtime fan turned industry commentator on Illumination‘s hit animated franchise, I‘m constantly fielding questions about the latest on our beloved anthropomorphic animals. One of the most common recent queries – who is teenage porcupine rocker Ash‘s mysterious boyfriend in the Sing movies?
The answer is a spikes-sporting sweetie named Lance, voiced by comedian Beck Bennett. In this deep dive, we‘ll get to know the crested casanova winning over Miss Porcupunk‘s heart between guitar solos.
Table Comparing Ash and Lance‘s Traits
| Character | Species | Age | Personality | Other Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ash | Porcupine | Likely 18-19 | Sunny, passionate | Pursuing rock stardom |
| Lance | Porcupine | Likely 18-19 | Egotistical yet supportive | Sports dark blue shirt |
As we can see from the above table, Ash and Lance make music and mayhem as teen porcupine partners. But how exactly did this prickly pair find harmony?
The High School Rock Sweethearts‘ Story
From Sing 1 interviews, we know Ash hasn‘t always basked in the spotlight‘s warmth. Lance helped the recovering wallflower bloom by encouraging her musical gifts. However, his massive ego causes occasional rifts regarding her commitment to the band versus their relationship.
In Sing 2, this tension escalates when the loyal girlfriend quits a gig over unfair pay – crossing her arms and storming out in classic Ash style! But later, the couple reconciles over a romantic moonlit duet (yes, pun intended given his name).
How Their Bond Compares to Other Gaming Romances
Lance and Ash‘s young love mirrors many fictional gaming and animation pairings. Like Hot Rod‘s devotion to girlfriend Arcee in Transformers or popular Dragon Age elf Sera‘s romance with Lady Inquisitor, the road to "happily ever after" has all the trope-y trimmings.
What sets this duo apart becomes clear when zooming out. As an ambitious woman breaking into a male-dominated music industry, Ash‘s refusal to be exploited shows admirable self-respect. And Lance letting her shine independently makes him one of animation‘s ‘good guy‘ role models.
Key Takeaways
- Ash‘s boyfriend Lance is a crested porcupine with an ego who supports her dreams
- The high school sweethearts have weathered some drama but found harmony
- Their young romance mirrors many fictional gaming relationships
- What makes them admirable is Ash‘s autonomy and Lance‘s space to let her shine
Of course, this snapshot just skims the surface on Ash and Lance‘s relationship. As everyone‘s favorite porcupunk prepares more savage riffs and killer looks for Sing 3, her spiny sweetheart surely won‘t stray far behind!
Stay tuned for more updates from this animation aficionado on all things Illumination. With several original movies and a Super Mario Bros collaboration in the pipeline, there‘s much for this gaming nut to digest!
