“Vivo”: Use music to teach love, don’t let those unspoken love become regrets

Produced by Sony Animation and directed by Kirk De Micco, Lin-Manuel Miranda originally composed and dubbed “Vivo”, which was released in August.

“Vivo” tells the story of the honey bear Vivo and the cool girl Gabi, who escorted the “Music of Love” on a journey of joy and adventure in order to fulfill the grandfather’s last wish.

“One person, one bear” has experienced the adventure of riding a bicycle in the city and drifting in the rainforest on a raft. It can be described as laughter and warmth flying together.

No wonder “Vivo” was rated as “the best animated movie for the whole family to watch this year.”

Prior to this, “Vivo” was also shortlisted for the “People’s Choice Award for Family Movie of the Year”.

In the online word of mouth, “Vivo” even scored 86% of the freshness of rotten tomatoes.

Both professional media and general audiences agree that “Vivo” will once again be an “Oscar-level” cartoon.

Music is touching, it is an existence that crosses language, time, and race

In this story of the cool girl Gabi and Honey Bear Vivo escorting the “Music Score of Love”, music has become an important way and means of communication and conveying love.

Grandpa Andrés passed away before he could say his love for his confidant Marta, making the audience feel that all the lateness has become an irreparable regret.

Fortunately, Andrés sealed his love that spanned fifty years forever in the song “To Marta”, flowing between the notes.

As the soundtrack in the movie sings, “Your music is still there, you haven’t left.”

What’s interesting is that “Vivo” did not directly create a barrier-free communication between people and animals like other animated films.

“Vivo” relies on music to cleverly complete the message exchange between cool girlGabi and Honey Bear Vivo.

When the music score was unfortunately lost, these two talented music partners worked together to finally deliver the “love music score” to Marta’s hands.

Throughout the movie, music runs through.

Cuban music with free and unrestrained rhythm, Latin American folk songs full of stories, street rap music with dynamic rhythm…

Lin-Manuel Miranda, a music all-rounder who was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Song for “Moana”, has created many lyrical or dynamic music for “Vivo” according to the different environments of the story and the different cultural backgrounds of the characters.

“My Own Drum”, customized for Gabi, is full of magical rap, powerful drumming and dynamic electronic sound, which presents the confidence of the new generation of children in all directions.

Vivo, who has followed Andrés to perform on the streets of Havana since childhood, is good at playing tambourines, trumpets, and clarinets.

Love should be spoken in time, and the moving emotions hit the audience’s tear ducts

In addition to good music, “Vivo” also has ample and moving emotions throughout.

Grandpa Andrés hid his love deeply in his heart in order not to delay the future of his sweetheart Marta.

He has been in this possession for more than fifty years, and he failed to express his love face-to-face until he passed away, which has become an eternal regret.

Cool girlGabi looks rebellious and unruly, but in fact, there are places in her heart that she doesn’t want to touch.

Her father passed away prematurely, but she didn’t have time to express her love without reservation, which made her unable to forgive her pain.

Whether it is love, family affection or friendship, “Vivo” educates rich emotions with fun, and interprets the theme of love from multiple angles.

“Vivo” hopes to convey the concept of “love must be expressed in time” through the experience of Andrés and Gabi.

As it has been sung many times in the film’s soundtrack, “Sing another song and don’t leave any regrets.”

“Vivo”‘s painting style is funny and laughs constantly, warm and heal for the adventurous journey

From the historic streets of Havana to the modern and bustling Miami.

From the perilous wild jungle to the magnificent and elegant grand theater, Gabi and Vivo embarked on a “happy and embarrassing journey” all the way.

“Vivo” allows viewers who are unable to travel far due to the impact of the epidemic to enjoy the postcard-level beauty.

Although the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, but for love is still strong and brave.

Under the leadership of the optimistic girl Gabi, the escort team overcame various unexpected difficulties all the way and finally completed the task successfully.

This adventure-loving journey is also particularly moving because of the core expression of warmth and joy.

“Vivo” can also be watched on streaming media. Families with children should not miss this music animation movie suitable for the whole family to watch together.
