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.

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.

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.

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.
