Adorable kid movies
Love the whole Rio collection of movies the are super cute
I picked this one up for the grandkids, who are big fans of the sequel "Rio 2" and similar fare ("The Secret Life of Pets," "Madagascar," etc.) but oddly never caught this original animated foray into anthropomorphic talking exotic birds. Jesse Eisenberg gives voice to Blu, a Central American macaw poached by smugglers as a hatchling who ends up living the domesticated life of a caged pet in Minnesota. His owner believes Blu might be the last of his kind, but then she learns of a female in Brazil (voiced by Anne Hathaway) and adventure ensues as these two mismatched lovebirds take flight to evade those evil smugglers again and return to freedom in the jungle. Okay, so Shakespeare it's not, but the colors pop and a few of the songs are catchy.
Originally upon purchasing real one I had never watched it however I did watch Rio 2 and absolutely loved it. So I figured that if I purchased real one it would be just as amazing as Rio 2. The original Rio was good and it explains more in depth of the history behind the birds however Rio 2 has so much better music and if so hilarious and cute a really good choice for family movie night.
