Vivo

This is a sweet movie about telling others how you feel. If you're a fan of LMM, this won't disappoint.

Vivo is a kinkajou, voiced by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who travels from Cuba to Florida to deliver a song to his master's long-lost love. It's an adventure filled with great songs and a lot of heart. My 6yo adored it and so did I.

In one word - (maybe two) - Lin Manuel!!

It's a heart warming movie with great animation and absolutely the best music.... two hours later and we're still 'bouncing to the beat of our own drum'. An absolute must watch with kids and I truly hope I get to see it in theatres someday - will be an absolute treat ! No idea why people have to 'hate' something like this - and whoever calls the songs bland needs to et their ears checked ! Just go see it and get your dancing shoes when you do!

Went through the users who gave it a 1* and saw that they are avid Disney fans. If you don't like animated movies not done by Disney then don't watch and stop dropping the average on IMDB. I found vivo fantastic and supper cute. The animation is awesome, how is the animation mediocre if it was done by the Oscar winning company that did spider verse. It's a style like everything else, if you only want princess stick to Disney.

The songs were some of my favorite as well, reminded me why Lin is the best at music making.

The story made me cry at the end. The only thing I didn't like was the drum song, but everything else was fantastic. Would recommend to everyone.

Produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the film boasts the rich, professional look of first-rate computer animation, even if "Vivo" plays by a more conventional stylebook than the studio's recent breakthroughs "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" and "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." The character designs are fine, if not especially inspired (including that of Vivo, whose huge eyes would've been cuter without all that white space).

It's Miranda's Latin-centered music that gives the project much of its personality, but in scenes like these, the visuals really sing and "Vivo" truly comes alive.

My Rating : 8/10.

If you are a Lin Manuel Miranda or Pixar fan you will love this movie. It gives off strong In the Heights, Luca, Soul, Up, and Coco vibes. If you are a fan of Lin you will be surprised.
