FIRST LOOK: Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Vivo”

Netflix announced the morning that its musical feature (picked up from Sony Pictures Animation) Vivo will release globally on Netflix on August 6th, 2021. About the Clip: Vivo, a musically gifted kinkajou (aka a rainforest “honey bear”) embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to deliver a song to his cherished owner’s long-lost love, with the help of Gabi – an energetic tween who bounces to the beat of her own offbeat drum. Along the way, the pair have been forced to take a shortcut through the Florida Everglades – but nothing can stop this dynamic duo, not even gators!
