The animated film Rio, directed by Carlos Saldanha, is released in theaters featuring a story about Blu, a domesticated macaw who travels to Rio de Janeiro.
Rio becomes a box office hit, grossing over $484 million worldwide and boosting Blue Macaw awareness.
20th Century Fox announces the production of Rio 2, the sequel to Rio, continuing the story of Blu and his family.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
