Rio

Rio is a movie about Blu (voice by Jesse Eisenberg), a rare bird, the Macaw, that was kidnapped when he a small and accidentally dropped in the small town of Moose Lake, Minnesota. He was later found by a little girl, Linda (voice by Sofia Scarpa Saldanha (young Linda) and by Leslie Mann (grown up Linda)) and they grew up together. Eventually, from growing up with the little girl, the bird becomes domesticated.

One day, an ornithologist visits them and reveals Blu as the last male of his kind and request for Blu to come to his lab and mate with a female Macaw, Jewel (voice by Anne Hathaway), to preserve their species. Upon arriving to Rio and the lab, both Blu and Jewel are kidnapped by smugglers and, thus, begins their adventure.

The whole movie was fun to watch. Seeing that it’s a Rio setting, there’s colours and music. The bad guys are a fun to watch too, including the rejected bird, Nigel. He was a star before helping to capture exotic birds for his master. Along the way to escape from the smugglers, it won’t be complete with friends. Blu met Nico (voice by Jamie Foxx), Pedro (voice by Will.I.Am), Luiz (voice by Tracy Morgan) and Rafael (voice by George Lopez). One scene that was romantic for this movie was when Blu wanted to tell Jewel how he feels, assisted by Nico and Pedro’s serenade.

Overall, the movie is fun to watch and worth to watch for a second time.
