This movie really captures the feeling of Rio and has a good plot (even though it's not hard a hard plot to find in other movies) but it has a loveable cast of characters and is really enjoyable to watch

Soundtrack- a record in animation, or any other movie. Will.i.am and Jamie foxx are a great combination. Jewel (Anne) great voice, great acting. Rio is one of the most perfect places for animation, there are so many colors already! I love Romeo and Juliet movies, especially animal ones. Personally, i could have listen to Hot Wings all the day, especially the part of Jewel singing.Well, now i don't really want a Cockatoo... but i do want a Macaw! I started looking in the internet, finding out that they are actually kinda cute, and are probably smarter than a cat. Great movie, i literally have nothing against it.

'Rio' is not an animated movie I would personally seek out to watch, but opportunity fatefully presented itself. Minnesota has since 'Fargo' (1996) been an interesting location to begin a movie, but here it has close to no added value. And pretty soon it's off to Rio de Janeiro anyway.'Rio' is a children's movie, of course. It's colorful, has loads of action based animations, is full of generic characters and has a fairly predictable chain of events (emotional journeys included) and my two nephews were mostly glued to the big screen, though the younger one found 93 minutes a little too much and turned to his toys at times. I can't say much against it, nor for it; it's just not for me, really.5 out of 10.

Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) is a baby macaw who was captured and smuggled to the States. The bird was lost and taken in by little girl Linda. They grow up together. She's a bookstore owner and he's completely domesticated. Brazilian scientist Tulio tells Linda that Blu is the last male of his species, and she needs to bring Blu to Rio de Janeiro. When they get to Rio, Blu and the female Jewel (Anne Hathaway) get stolen.This is a brightly colored confection. It's a neon bright show that tired me out. The story isn't anything special. The characters are fine but I don't see much staying power. Nothing is really exceptional other than those exceptionally brilliant colors. It's a good kiddie movie. They'll get distracted by all the pretty colors.
