Review - Rio

It all starts when Blu, a domesticated macaw from a small-town in Minnesota is taken to Rio de Janeiro to save their species by mating with the only other remaining macaw in the world, a fiercely independant female named Jewel who turns out to be the bird of his dreams.

It's a visually stunning film about how love can break you out of your shell and help you discover who you really are. The level of animation and the writers really created a magical adventure in Rio de Janeiro where the two endangered macaws find true love. The movie also has a variety of other interesting and entertaining characters along the way.

The setting of "Rio" offers a lot of natural elements like exotic beaches, Carnival, views of the moutains, and of course Latin music that really add to the creative musical numbers.

The main characters "Blu" and "Jewel" are voice acted by Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway respectively

It is a simple tale about the journey towards finding love and while it is relatively predictable, sometimes simple works, and in this case it does. This movie is brilliantly animated; is still offered in 3D at most theaters and is fun evening that the entire family can enjoy.
