Blu(Jesse Eisenberg) is a Blue Macaw who lives in Minnesota behind a force field called “glass” that protects him from the ice and snow outside. He lives with a book merchant and his owner, Linda (Leslie Mann) who has loved him since he was a tiny baby. Then she’s visited by a famous orthonogist who informs her that Blu is the last of his species and except for one lovely lady called Jewell (Anne Hathaway). He convinces Linda to come with him to Rio and to accompany Blu to meet Jewell and perpetuate the species. Once in Rio, Blu and Jewell don’t hit it off very well, especially since Blu has never learned to fly. There are bad guys who capture and sell for export, exotic birds of all kinds who can’t wait to get their hands on Blu and Jewell. Blu meets a few friends who help, but things go very badly and it will take all thier efforts together to try to survive.

RIo is an awesome animated film with great music and beautiful colors. The carnivale in Rio is going on, and the sights and sounds are beautiful. The voice characters are awesome. Wanda Sykes, Jane Lynch, Will I Am, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez and others fill the screen with delightful characters. An evil cockatoo, Nigel (Jemaine Clement) is one of the best villians in an animated movie in years. He’s awsomely bad!

All in all this is a great movie for kids, but does very good by the adults in the audience with many jokes and gags that adults will find very funny. It’s a very good animated film, and one of the best I’ve seen since “Toy Story 3“.
