Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda developing “Vivo” animated musicalDecember 15, 2016 - 10:48 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Lin-Manuel Miranda has already set his sights on another big project following the success of the box office conqueror "Moana". As AceShowbiz reports citing Deadline, the Tony Award winner is teaming up with Sony Pictures Animation to develop a new animated musical called "Vivo". The project is on a fast track, with Miranda providing 11 original songs for the original movie. The 36-year-old musician/actor took to Twitter on Wednesday, December 14 to say that he "wrote these tunes for 'Vivo' years ago," before adding, "So thrilled they've found a home at @SonyAnimation and I get to play with Quiara again." The studio has booked a December 18, 2020 U.S. release date for the movie. Originated by "High School Musical" scribe Peter Barsocchini, it focuses on "a capuchin monkey with a thirst for adventure and a passion for music that makes a treacherous passage from Havana to Miami to fulfill his destiny." Kirk De Micco, who co-directed "The Croods" with Chris Sanders, is attached to helm the movie from a screenplay by Miranda's collaborator on "In the Heights" Quiara Alegria Hudes. Lisa Stewart will produce, with Laurence Mark serving as an executive producer. Top stories The creative crew of the Public TV had chosen 13-year-old Malena as a participant of this year's contest.
