Vivo: We Speak to the Creative Team - Carlos Zaragoza and Wendell Dalit

Netflix’s new animated musical Vivo has some a pretty unique look to it. From the depictions of Havana and Miami, to how it seamlessly blends 3D CGI with traditional 2D animation, the movie is an absolute feast for the eyes.

In this interview we speak with production designer Carlos Zaragoza and art director Wendell Dalit about coming up with the world of Vivo and the characters that live in it.

Vivo follows a one-of-kind kinkajou (Lin-Manuel Miranda), who spends his days playing music to the crowds in a lovely square with his beloved owner Andreś (Juan de Marcos). Though they may not speak the same language, Vivo and Andrés are the perfect duo through their common love of music. But when tragedy strikes shortly after Andrés receives a letter from the famous Marta Sandoval (Gloria Estefan), inviting her old partner to her farewell concert, it’s up to Vivo to deliver a message that Andrés never could. But to get to Marta, Vivo will need the help of Gabi (Ynairaly Simo) – an energetic tween who bounces to the beat of her own offbeat drum.

Vivo is the latest film by Oscar nominated director Kirk DeMarco and written by Quiara Alegria Hudes, with music composed by Alex Lacamoire, featuring the voice talents of Lin-Manuel Miranda, newcomer Ynairaly Simo, Juan de Marcos, Gloria Estefan, Zoe Saldaña, Michael Rooker, Brian Tyree Henry, Nicole Byer, Katie Lowes, Olivia Trujillo, and Lidya Jewett.
