Reese plays a pig called Rosita in the film which also features the voices of Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johanssen, John C.Reilly, Jennifer Saunders and Nick Kroll.
'She’s had 25 kids, so she had to put her dreams on hold and now the singing competition gets her out of the house and remembering that she had a life beyond having kids,' Reese previously told The Today Show about the role.
'I think it’s a really touching story. I think a lot of moms will relate to it and I think a lot of kids will appreciate their mom more after seeing it.'

Both Matthew and Reese are parents to three children, with the actress admitting that between the pair of them, their offspring had seen the movie 'like 60 times.'
'Every time they come out they have a different favourite character and every time they come out they have a different favourite song,' said Matthew. 'It happens for me too as a parent.'
'There's so many great messages in the movie about believing in yourself and learning to love family members and having hopes and dreams,' added Reese.
