Rio 2 2014


Rio 2

     Blu and Jewel have three kids and they live with Linda and Tulio in Rio de Janeiro.  They think they are the only family left of rare blue macaws but they learn there are more of their kind 2000 miles away in the Amazon rainforest.  Jewel and the kids are glad to be out in the forest and they love it.  Blu is having a difficult time fitting in but he’s trying.  There is a lot more danger and it’s compounded by a group of men illegally logging the trees in the forest.  Nigel from the first Rio is unable to fly but still seeking revenge.
      There is are a LOT of characters, a LOT of singing and a LOT of plot twists going on in this film.  Some are very funny and others just OK.  It is interesting to try to guess the voices.  I would imagine that many kids would not see any problems with this film?  3* (This movie is OK)

101 min, Animation directed by Carlos Saldanha with the voices of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jermaine Clement, Jim Conroy, Rachel Crow, Bernardo De Paula, Nola Donkin, Jamie Foxx Andy Garcia, Leslie Mann, Bruno Mars, Kristin Chenoweth, Rita Moreno, will.i.am, Tracey Morgan.

Note:  Imdb 6.5 out of 10, 47% critic 60% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert 2*.
Special Note:  There is probably a Rio 2 because Rio of 2011 grossed $485 million worldwide.
