It's been a big couple of months for Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The exceptionally talented songwriter and storyteller's hit musical In the Heights came to the big screen just before lockdown hit greater Sydney, and now his latest slew of tunes can be enjoyed from home.
Vivo is Netflix's latest children's animation, and it's chock-full of Miranda's trademark high-energy, cleverly-written songs.
Where In the Heights and the mega-popular Hamilton were more personal and historically-based projects, Vivo the film wasn't actually written by Miranda - just the songs, much like his work on Disney's exceptional Moana - and as such doesn't reflect his storytelling spark.
But it's still a pretty fun, energetic movie.
Vivo follows the eponymous kinkajou - that's a possum-sized Central and South American honey bear - after his beloved human partner in music Andrés dies in their Cuba home before he can reunite with his lost lost love Marta (Gloria Estefan), now a famous singer.
So little Vivo faces his fear and hitches a ride to Florida with Andrés' great-niece Gabi (Ynairaly Simo) in the hopes he can make it to Miami before Marta's final show.
Gabi is a bubbly, over-the-top, exuberant child who's more than happy to help once she pieces together the kinkajou's plan - but, of course, there are plenty of obstacles along the way.
The story itself is passable, and the Cuban and Floridian settings are enjoyable, but it's the songs that are the highlight.
Gabi's big track, My Own Drum, is infectious and memorable, a pounding, empowering tune about embracing your individuality and not apologising for breaking the mould - "I'm a wow in a world full of ho-hum".
It returns in the credits with a new version featuring Missy Elliott alongside Simo.
There's little doubt kids - and some adults, too - will be singing or humming My Own Drum long after the credits have rolled.
Love's Gonna Pick You Up - a fun track charting the blossoming romance of two swamp birds voiced by Brian Tyree Henry and Nicole Byer - is another high point, along with the Hamilton-esque ensemble piece Running Out of Time.
The musical pieces are the best bits of the film, which would not be particularly memorable without them.
Vivo struggles to find the emotional beats and connect with audiences in the way that Pixar (and most Disney) films do time after time without.
That said, kids will love the colour and pace and get a kick out of the cute kinkajou.
