LOS ANGELES: Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation have unveiled the trailer for Vivo, the anticipated animated film starring Lin-Manuel Miranda, which premieres globally on August 6.
The musical adventure pic—featuring original songs by Miranda—centers on his character Vivo, a one-of-kind kinkajou (or rainforest “honey bear”) who spends his days playing music with his beloved owner Andrés (Juan de Marcos).
While they may not speak the same language, Vivo and Andrés prove to be the perfect duo, given their shared love of music—until tragedy strikes.
After Andrés receives a letter from the famous Marta Sandoval (three-time Grammy-winner Gloria Estefan), inviting her old partner to her farewell concert with the hope of reconnecting, it’s up to Vivo to deliver a message that Andrés never could: A love letter to Marta, written long ago, in the form of a song. To ensure success in his journey, Vivo enlists the aid of an energetic tween named Gabi (newcomer Ynairaly Simo), who bounces to the beat of her own offbeat drum to fulfill his owner’s wishes.
