Rio

• Rio is an animation feature from the makers of the Ice Age films. Set in the magnificent city of Rio de Janeiro and the lush rainforest of Brazil, the comedy-adventure centers on Blu, a rare macaw who thinks he is the last of his kind. When Blu discovers there's another — and that she's a she — he leaves the comforts of his cage in small town Minnesota and heads to Rio. But it's far from love at first sight between the domesticated and flight-challenged Blu and the fiercely independent, high-flying female, Jewel. Unexpectedly thrown together, they embark on an adventure of a lifetime, where they learn about friendship, love, courage, and being open to life's many wonders. Rio brings together a menagerie of vivid characters, a heart-warming story, colorful backdrops, energizing Latin and contemporary music, and family-friendly song and dance.


• This was a VERY cute and enjoyable movie. Great voices . . . . . . Great characters . . . . . . Great laughs . . . . . . well paced story. One of my biggest fears are birds so there was an awful lot of reasons for me to not like this but I did. I also thought that the animation looked a lot better from prior Blue Sky animation movies (Ice Age franchise). It looks more pixar like and the 3d features weren't as annoying with all of the bird activity.


• I would definitely recommend people checking this one out - especially the families. Its's definitely worth your time.
