Vivo

Matt Roush says...

Lin-Manuel Miranda brings his infectious musical style back to animation (where he earned an Oscar nomination for Moana) for the colorful story of a loyal kinkajou—aka a rainforest “honey bear”—who embarks on a wild journey to deliver a message in the form of a song from his beloved owner (Buena Vista Social Club’s Juan de Marcos) to the one who got away, now a famous singer (Gloria Estefan). Vivo enlists an irrepressible tween, Gabi (Ynairaly Simo), to join him on the ride, which includes a detour through the Everglades. (The Walking Dead’s Michael Rooker voices a scary python.)
