Rio is fun, visually nice and pretty entertaining. It definitely doesn't rank as one of the best animated films but is still a fun time for the family!

My 9yo and I both liked this. "Mum, they're not singing in English." "That's because in Brazil people speak Portuguese." "Mum, this movie is not very realistic." "Most movies aren't realistic." "Mum, this movie is really kind of weird." "Is it better than Horton Hears a Who?" "YES!"

High flying fun, Rio is a charming animated film. The story follows a blue macaw named Blu who is taken to Rio de Janeiro to mate with another macaw, but along the way he's abducted by poachers hoping to sell him on the black market. Featuring Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Leslie Mann, and Jamie Foxx, the cast is quite impressive. And the animation is especially good, particularly the birds; which are remarkably detailed. Also, the comedy is lighthearted and kind of clever, but the Carnival jokes do get a little out of hand. Sure to deliver plenty of laughs, Rio is an entertaining family comedy.
