It is turning out to be quite a year for Lin-Manuel Miranda. His Tony-winning In the Heights hit movie screens, his Hamilton has 12 Emmy nominations including one for him, his directorial effort Ti…
hit movie screens, his is about to take off on the fall festival circuit, and he has for Disney and the August 6 Netflix release of Sony Pictures Animation’s for which he not only wrote all the songs but also voices the title role of the lovable kinkajou. If this delightful Latin-flavored toon was his only project, I still would say this has been a very good year for the prodigious artist.
we meet Vivo , a one-of-a-kind rainforest honey bear who spends his days in the middle of town showing off his musical talents with his aging, beloved friend Andres . Andres receives a letter from long-lost secret love Marta Sandoval , an old friend who went on to fame and fortune as a major star in Miami but now reaches out to reconnect by inviting him to join her for her final performance. He is excited to reunite with her and shares the sheet music with Vivo for the song he wrote for her but never got to deliver, essentially a love letter put to music. In it he lyrically spills his heart and passion for the romance that would never be.
When Andres tragically passes away before being able to travel to Miami, a heartbroken Vivo becomes determined to somehow make the journey and get the song to Marta. Enlisting a young girl named Gabi to help him in his quest, the pair turn to the internet to find a way to get from Cuba to Florida and deliver the song.
Miranda contributes sweet vocal work as Vivo, matched by a well-chosen cast including Saldana, de Marcos, Rooker and Estefan, the latter perfection as she pours emotion into her role as the veteran star who never realized the feelings Andres had for her. Contributing her voice on more than one song, she gets what I can only describe as a signature Estefan moment with the song at the center of the whole story, “Inside Your Heart,” which is sung in both English and Spanish.
