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]
