This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Vivo is a 2021 American animated musical comedy-adventure film directed by Kirk DeMicco and co-directed by Brandon Jeffords (in his feature directorial debut), from a screenplay written by DeMicco and Quiara Alegría Hudes, and based on an original idea by Hudes and Peter Barsocchini, the film is produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation, with original songs written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also serves as an executive producer and voices the title character. The film also features the voices of Zoe Saldaña, Juan de Marcos, Brian Tyree Henry, Michael Rooker, Nicole Byer, Gloria Estefan, and introduces Ynairaly Simo in her film debut as Gabi. Vivo marks Sony Pictures Animation's first musical film. The story follows Vivo (Miranda), a music-loving kinkajou, who embarks on the journey of a lifetime to fulfill his destiny and must deliver a love song to Marta Sandoval (Estefan), a retiring singer.
The film was first pitched to DreamWorks Animation in 2010 by Miranda following the success of his stage musical In the Heights but was canceled due to the restructuring at the company in 2015. It was later revived and fast-tracked by Sony Pictures Animation on December 14, 2016, with DeMicco directing, Lisa Stewart, Michelle L.M. Wong, and Rich Moore producing, Miranda, Laurence Mark, and Louis Koo executive-producing, and DeMicco and Hudes writing the screenplay from a story by Barsocchini and Hudes. Cast members for the film were announced in April 2021. Apart from Miranda's original songs, his longtime collaborator and musical director Alex Lacamoire composed the film's score.
Vivo was released in select theatres on July 30, 2021, and digitally on Netflix on August 6, 2021. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the animation, voice performances, and musical numbers.
