Due to a restructuring in 2015, DreamWorks Animation eventually dropped the project. On December 14, 2016, Sony Pictures Animation eventually fast-tracked the project under the name Vivo, with Kirk DeMicco directing, Lisa Stewart producing, Laurence Mark executive-producing, and Quiara Alegría Hudes writing the screenplay from a story by Peter Barsocchini.[1][2] On June 12, 2019, Sony Pictures Animation head Kristine Belson announced at the 2019 Annecy International Animated Film Festival that Rich Moore would join the film as co-producer of the film and Roger Deakins as the film cinematographer.[3]

On December 14, 2016, it was revealed that Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote 11 songs for the film.[1]

On December 14, 2016, the film was scheduled to be released on December 18, 2020.[1] On January 26, 2018, the film's release date was moved a month earlier, to November 6, 2020.[4] On November 1, 2019, the film's release date was moved to April 16, 2021.[5] On April 24, 2020, the film's release date was moved to June 4, 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
