Story: In Rio de Janeiro, baby macaw, Blu, is captured by dealers and smuggled to the USA. While driving through Moose Lake, Minnesota, the truck that is transporting Blu accidentally drops Blu's box on the road. A girl, Linda, finds the bird and raises him with love. Fifteen years later, Blu is a domesticated and intelligent bird that does not fly and lives a comfortable life with bookshop owner Linda. Out of the blue, clumsy Brazilian ornithologist, Tulio, visits Linda and explains that Blu is the last male of his species, and he has a female called Jewel in Rio de Janeiro. He invites Linda to bring Blu to Rio so that he and Jewel can save their species. Linda travels with Blu and Tulio to Rio de Janeiro and they leave Blu and Jewel in a large cage in the institute where Tulio works. While they are having dinner, smugglers break into the institute and steal Blu and Jewel to sell them. Linda and Tulio look everywhere for Blu, who is chained to Jewel and hidden in a slum. Meanwhile, Jewel ... Written byClaudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio (2011) Review by lnery from Brazil
"Oh, how wish I was back in my cage, with my mirror, and my littlebell"
Jesse Eisenberg should be forever grateful that the Oscar-nominated"The Social Network" was released before Rio. That's because his voiceas Blu, the macaw, is so distinctive and perfect, that in my mind hewill always be Blu. And if Rio had been released months ago, audiencesworldwide would think that Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder,missed his cage, mirror and little bell.
Now, for the movie itself
Location, location, location. Because what's Rio, the movie, without(pulsating, colorful, exuberant, romantic) Rio, the city? The story isdelightful, though predictable. The characters are cardboard, even if3D and feathery. But "predictable" and "cardboard" are the worstadjectives I could possibly link to Rio. The Rio deal, is that Ilaughed all the way through it, like everybody else in the theater.
Blu, the last male of his kind, is the happiest macaw, out there in asnowy town with Linda, his nerdy owner. Jewel, the last female of herkind, lives in Brazil, and is the saddest macaw, imprisoned in a cageand fighting for her freedom. She's a free-spirited soul, with theworld at her feet. Blu has lived a sheltered life, can't fly, and lovesevery minute of it. What happens when they meet? Anyone above the ageof 7 can guess how it ends (age 5 if he's seen the trailer). Butthere's so much delight from the first minute to the last, that youdon't want it to end.
I was one of the lucky few to watch the premiere of Rio in Rio, and atthis point I can hardly wait to see it again. A Brazilian, CarlosSaldanha, directed the movie, and it shows. The details of the city areall there, but so is the big picture (you know, everything that reallymatters, along with wide panoramas of Rio by night, of a crowded beach,of a sunset in the cable cars of Santa Teresa).
Lots of AMAZING aerial views in the action scenes. The main charactersare birds, thus flying should be expected. Many of those places showedin the movie can be visited by tourists.
Rio doesn't have the depth of stories such as Toy Story or Up. It is asimpler plot. It is, however, pure fun from start to finish, andvisually stunning. Location, location, location. As a native of Rio, Icould recognize most places, and was stunned with how realistic werethe slums, and how the geography of the city, especially the mountains,could be so painstakingly reproduced.
The movie is not a musical, but it comes close to it. There's funk,bossa nova, a few clichés of Brazilian music and even samba sang inEnglish (still conflicted about it!).
There is also the portrayal of animal trafficking, a centuries-oldproblem in Brazil, and the subplot of a boy who lives on the streetsand must resort to petty crime, which adds up to a much-needed socialcommentary.
By all means, don't miss this movie!
Rio (2011) Review by drakula2005 from Bulgaria
Not many animations like Rio come around these days.When i first sawthe trailer and the team behind this very anticipated animation, theIce Age team, i knew it will be very enjoyable and fun to watch.Seeinga TV spot right now, i remember that it was all those things, but muchmore as well.The quality of the animation was unique-only two or threemovies can still compete with this and those are Tangled, Up and How toTrain Your Dragon.But still, there was so much going on in Rio, thebirds, the colors, the non-stopping stream of movement, lights, musicand songs, around the carnival in Rio or in the opening and closingscenes with the singing and dancing of the birds in the forests aroundthe city.So much was going on and with such quality, that no animationhas matched.And those epic proportions of the animation are itsstrongest qualities.Something one can't see every day.
The character development was very good, beginning with a littlebackground of the macaw bird Blu's life, with his owner Linda inMinnesota.Maybe, the other macaw, Jewel, was a little underdeveloped asa character, but with positive reviews coming, there might be a sequelcoming on the way as well.Then, Jewel's background might be betterdeveloped.
With an animation of such proportions, some box office power along witha few Oscar noms will surely be along the way and the fact that ittakes place in Rio alone, will act as an audience magnet, given thatRio's one of the most popular and non-stopping cities in the world.Thismagical feeling stays all along the movie.You just can't forget you'rein Rio.
Rio is as well another example of an animation, worth the time andmoney of both young and grown-ups.That's what catches the eye.20-thCentury Fox has made a great animation and with the possible box-officepower of the movie, a sequel might as well be on the works.
So, a great animation, very epic and visually stunning, Rio will keepeveryone mesmerized and captivated long after the end, and personallyfor me is one of the best, if not the bast animation i've seen.
I definitely hope for a sequel and i'll definitely see it again, at themovies.
10/10 for this stunning, colorful, heartwarming and breathtakingexperience, named Rio!
P.S.The one thing i thought was missing, was Bellini's Samba DeJaneiro- this song can make the mood of every crowd in the world :)
Rio (2011) Review by TheLittleSongbird from United Kingdom
That in mind, there is more of 2011 I have yet to see, hence the so farbit, but I absolutely loved this movie after seeing it when it came outtoday. From the trailers and advertising it looked like a bright,breezy and entertaining animation, and in my mind it was much more thanthat. And I genuinely mean it when I say it is my favourite of the yearso far, even surpassing the outstanding(if somewhat misunderstood)Rango.
What I loved most about Rio was its energy. Rio for me has more energythan any of the Ice Age(from the same team) movies, and its energy istruly infectious at that. Two reasons especially make it so. One is thewriting, I wasn't expecting the writing to be this sharp, funny andwitty, looking at some of the previous work the writer has penned,while the jokes are plentiful and come by thick and fast. The other isthe soundtrack. It has a huge amount of authentic Brazilian flavour andjust ripples with zest. I loved the samba and bossa nova rhythms thatpulsate throughout, and further fun is to be had in the BusbyBerkeley-style beginning and the truly spectacular Carnaeval finale.
The story isn't perhaps original, nor did it need to be, but it isfast-paced, with many entertaining scenes and is very rarelypredictable. There is also the obligatory life lessons here which areseamlessly blended without feeling shoe-horned in or preachy. I lovedthe characters too. Blu is very endearing, and voiced brilliantly byThe Social Network's Jesse Eisenberg. Jewel is a lovely love interest,and her chemistry with Blu is ceaselessly entertaining and cute. AnneHathaway previously voiced Haru on the English dub of The Cat Returns.She did a fine job on that, but in Rio she is even better, moreunderstated and less shrill. I equally loved the villainous cockatooNigel(who avoids being a caricature and the like and voicedphenomonally by Jermaine Clement) and the constantly drooling bull-dog.
Other than the above components, what also made Rio was its animation,which is simply stupendous. I haven't seen an animated movie in a longwhile(and I am a huge fan of animation) where the colours in particularare so rich and warm. The characters are also beautifully modelledespecially the titular character Blu, and this includes the secondarycharacters as well, and the sceneries and backgrounds are breathtakingwith such a refreshing richness and warmth. In conclusion, a wonderfulanimated film and my favourite of the year so far. 10/10 Bethany Cox
