This weekend kids and adults alike crowded the theatre for Twentieth Century Fox and Blue Sky Studio’s hit new release Rio.
Rio stars Blu, a pet and very domesticated macaw from Minnesota who has to travel to meet the only other macaw Jewel, a fiercely independent, in Brazil. The two get captured and must work together to escape even though Blu can’t fly.
I had the pleasure of watching Rio on Friday and I have to say that it was a great movie. Right from the opening scene and song we were bobbing our heads and laughing away at the cute characters and upbeat song. The most laugh out loud characters? Will.i.am and Jamie Fox’s characters Pedro & Nico were just hilarious and Tracy Morgan? Amazing! Blu, played by Jesse Eisenberg had that mix of funny and awkward which made him perfect as well.
The music was great, the characters were cute and they had enough in there to keep the kids and adults entertained.
Here’s a clip from the opening scene of Rio:
