Vivo premiered on Netflix on Friday, Aug. 6, 2021, and it’s well on its way to becoming one of the biggest Netflix movies of the year so far. The movie was originally slated for a theatrical release, but it was moved to Netflix for the pandemic. It works very well on the streaming service!
Vivo has an excellent voice cast! There are some very big names attached to the animated movie, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Zoe Saldana and more.
The movie tells the story of Vivo, a kinkajou in Havana, Cuba. After his friend Andres passes away, Vivo travels to Miami to share a song with Marta, an old friend of Andres. The story follows Vivo on the journey to share the song with Marta.
We’re very hopeful that Vivo 2 happens at Netflix! If enough people watch, there’s definitely a chance that it could happen! Netflix has not been shy about ordering sequels for its popular movies.
Stay tuned for more information about Vivo 2 on Netflix.
