Netflix’s ‘Vivo’ is a new animated musical coming that stars the talented Lin-Manuel Miranda as a one-of-a-kind kinkajou. For those of us who don’t know what that is (like me), a kinkajou is also known as the rainforest “honey bear”.
The film follows Miranda’s kinkajou as he finds his way from Havana to Miami in order to deliver a song on behalf of his owner and mentor Andres!
Take a look at the official teaser below that was uploaded with the following description,
“An animated musical adventure that follows VIVO, a one-of-kind kinkajou (aka a rainforest “honey bear,” voiced by Miranda), who must find his way from Havana to Miami in order to deliver a song on behalf of his beloved owner and mentor Andres (Buena Vista Social Club’s Juan de Marcos Gonzáles).
The film features original songs by Miranda, a score by Alex Lacamoire, and a screenplay by Quiara Alegría Hudes and director Kirk DeMicco (The Croods). Vivo is also co-directed by Brandon Jeffords (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2).”
