What difference can one song make?

A new animated musicals from Netflix. Vivo, a music-loving kinkajou, embarked on a journey to deliver his friend's last song.

Most of the songs in the movie were entertaining to listen to. They gave enjoyable vibes and energy to the scenes. Also, the animation was superb and worked well with the music. One of the songs, even though it had fun animation, was pretty annoying because the singer was screaming for most of it.

The story was nothing new for a musical movie. The trip that Vivo and the kids went through, although funny at times, was silly and kinda pointless. I would have liked it more if the journey had a bigger impact on either Vivo or the kids. However, the core of the story was Vivo, in horror of his friend, delivering a song to a famous singer. This part at the end was good and impactful.

The characters were straightforward as well. Most of the characters didn't grow that much through their journey. They did try to have emotions, but besides the main story, I didn't get much from the other characters.

Overall, despite the typical story, great animation and story still made the movie entertaining and fun, especially for kids and family. 7/10.
