Summary: an old musician plays one last song.
So Lin Manuel-Miranda is the most overrated character in the film industry in the last 20 years. His music is always just the same.
He here plays a kid that tries to stop his Grand Uncle from being happy as he likes his life in poverty and would rather his uncle be miserable in order for him to be happy, just like most spoilt brats.
Of course Vivo doesn’t fit in and is an outsider and shows all the hallmarks of every other progressive woke character you have seen in the last decade.
The film fixates on the Afro-Latino community as they are a massive audience for your film and feels very much as though it doesn’t want none members watching it.
Overall, what were Sony Pictures Animation doing with this.
1/5
Pros.
One good song
Cons
Pacing issues
Ugly animation
It’s boring
It just feels forced
