If you loved Vivo, try Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Kirk DeMicco, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Vivo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is
Ruby Gillman doesn’t just have a school lunch problem, she discovers she’s royalty—of the slimy, tentacled variety. A sweet but clueless teen learns she belongs to a long line of kraken queens meant to keep mermaids in check. All she wants is to fit in, not inherit a throne or deal with heritage squid drama.
