Vivo is a 2021 animated musical comedy film directed by Kirk DeMicco, and written by DeMicco and Quiara Alegría Hudes. The film includes original songs written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also serves as executive producer and voices Vivo, and also features the voices of Ynairaly Simo, Zoe Saldaña, Juan de Marcos, Brian Tyree Henry and Gloria Estefan. The story follows Vivo, a music-loving kinkajou, who embarks on the journey of a lifetime to fulfill his destiny and who must deliver a love song to Marta Sandoval, a retiring singer.
The film was first pitched to DreamWorks Animation in 2010 by Miranda following the success of his stage musical In the Heights, but was canceled due to the restructuring at the company in 2015. It was later revived and fast-tracked in December 2016 by Sony Pictures Animation. Cast members for the film were announced in April 2021. Alongside Miranda's original songs, his longtime collaborator and musical director Alex Lacamoire composed the film's score.
