"If anyone asks, you are my emotional support animal"
Following back-to-back triumphs in the Animation space; Sony is back at it yet again! This time with 'Vivo'. If I were to sum it up; this is a heartwarming musical that reflects upon the Cuban People as well as their rich Culture and is imbued with sumptuous melodies and prismatic imageries.
It may not attain the same peak of perfection as Spider-Verse or The Mitchells vs The Machines did, but I will say this; with its multifarious stylizing and lighthearted approach, it does leave a good impression overall.
All credit goes to its rather scintillating Score, which courteously combined a myriad of Genres and their distinguishable characteristics. Coupled with an array of stunning visuals and dozens of wonderful songs; there can be no doubt that this was a sight for sore eyes or for that matter, the ears too.
The only drawbacks that can be found are buried deep in its Writing and the bulk of them correlates with character portrayals (Or I should say the lack of them). Storywise, I feel it was never meant to go the extra mile. Like Never! Therefore the plot comes off as pretty generic and similar remarks apply to all the characters, except for Vivo.
He contributes a lot in regards to the emotional moments and their general effectiveness. I was a little surprised to see myself teared up many a time (Which I didn't really expect).
Time to find me a Kinkajou, I guess! :-D.
