Watch | Music brings Lin-Manuel Miranda, Zoe Saldaña, Gloria Estefan together for 'Vivo'

 

Netflix has dropped the trailer for Sony Pictures Animation's Vivo!

The titular character is a musically gifted kinkajou (aka a rainforest “honey bear”) who embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. Vivo needs 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.

The stellar voice cast includes Lin-Manuel Miranda (Vivo), Zoe Saldaña (Rosa), Juan de Marcos (Andrés), Brian Tyree Henry (Dancarino), Michael Rooker (Lutador), Nicole Byer (Valentina), introducing Ynairaly Simo (Gabi), and Gloria Estefan (Marta). The movie also features songs composed by Miranda, who created and starred in the Broadway musicals In the Heights and Hamilton, and wrote songs for the animated feature Moana.

Vivo is directed and co-written by Kirk DeMicco, best known for writing and directing The Croods. Vivo premieres on Aug. 6 on Netflix.
