Featured reviews
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.

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!

Even when is not the best animated movie that I saw, my kid (5 years old) just love it. The story captured his attention from the beginning to the end. Is a lovely story.

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.

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.

- TriviaOriginally started out as a DreamWorks Animation production before Sony Pictures Animation took over production in 2016.
- GoofsDespite being called a Kinkajou, Vivo's character model looks much more like some kind of primate. Kinkajous are more closely related to raccoons and other than being arboreal, have little in common with monkeys. They are also known for their complete lack of rhythm and inability to wear hats.
- Crazy creditsThe Columbia Pictures logo is a combination of the 1968 and 1993 versions.
After it fully appears, the background changes from clouds to a nighttime city, and the Torch Lady walks off playing a flute.
