Vivo

Liked the story line and loved the characters voices. The beautiful songs kept me engaged with the colorful animation. It had its sad part tugged at my heart and funny parts. Great to see the Cuban and American life with having the music in common. Really enjoyed Gabi's catchy rap song.

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.

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.

I like the animation and the songs. The mission that the characters have to do is heart warming. It's great to have Gloria Estefan singing in it too.

So, everything BUT the story is excellent... which is weird. The animation is beautiful. The voice acting is wonderful. Lin Manuel Miranda's music is sensational. If my kids wanted to watch this 100 times, i wouldn't mind listening to it while i read a magazine or did dishes or something. But the characters and story aren't very engaging. Neither of my kids got sucked in, and i definitely did it. Its a simple story and moves real slow. Jokes are repetitive. I'm writing this review while watching it. Cuz its kinda boring. I'm pretty bored. Oh wait, another song, hold on... .... Oh, that was beautiful! Yeah, songs are amazing. Watch the movie once and then just listen to soundtrack. But that soundtrack... is sensational.
