    Synopsis

    Captured by smugglers when he was just a hatchling, a macaw named Blu never learned to fly and lives a happily domesticated life in Minnesota with his human friend, Linda. Blu is thought to be the last of his kind, but when word comes that Jewel, a lone female, lives in Rio de Janeiro, Blu and Linda go to meet her. Animal smugglers kidnap Blu and Jewel, but the pair soon escape and begin a perilous adventure back to freedom -- and Linda.

      Bursting with color and rippling with samba rhythms, Rio makes you wonder why animated films haven't spent more time in Brazil.

      Boxoffice Magazine

      Rio is the biggest and brightest animated triumph since "Toy Story 3."

      Orlando Sentinel

      Comical, colorful, wonderfully cast and beautifully animated.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Voice work across the board is top-notch, with the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am and Jamie Foxx adding sass to their smooth-talking bird buddies, and comic George Lopez solid as a party-loving toucan named Rafael.

      Variety

      Like its flight-challenged parrot protagonist, Rio takes a while to get off the ground but manages to soar by the end.

      ReelViews

      The only thing surprising about this lackluster animated production is that it attracted an A-list voice cast.

      Empire

      Okay, so it's not exactly a groundbreaking advance from the team behind "Ice Age," but with its kaleidoscope of colour and heaps of humour, you'll be charmed.

      Village Voice

      Too timid to be either inspired or outrageously inept, Rio is merely a bird of a familiar feather.
