Rio tells the story of a male Brazilian blue macaw who was snitched from his natural habitat when he was still a hatchling. He then was raised by Linda, a book store owner in a small town in Minnesota, and is named Blu. As Blu is completely domesticated, he has become the not-so-average male Brazilian blue macaw, and he does NOT know how to fly at all. That was until Linda had Tulio, an ornithologist from Rio de Janeiro visiting her book store and took notice of Blu.
Tulio tried to convince Linda bring Blu to Rio de Janeiro so that he could introduce Jewel, a female blue macaw, as blue macaws were unfortunately destined for extinction. Tulio's aim was to bring both Blu and Jewel together so that he could assist in reproducing and reviving the Blue macaw species in its natural habitat. Linda finally consented to it and followed Tulio to Rio de Janeiro.
An unexpected adventure begins when Linda and Blu arrived in Rio de Janeiro. A bunch of baddies were also after Blu and Jewel as they were also considered as an exotic species of macaw, other than being in danger of being extinction. Thus, began the adventure of a lifetime for both Linda and Blu, with the help of Tulio, they tried to save both Blu and Jewel from the baddies.
They finally succeeded in saving Blu and Jewel from the clutches of the baddies, but not without the usual antics that is typically found in animated movies. I find the story of Rio extremely entertaining and fun to watch, and is especially good for families with young children. Even adults like myself would find this movie amusing and enlightening, as it showed the very colourful and touristy side of Rio de Janeiro.
My verdict of this movie is very good, I would give it at least four thumbs-up and would recommend especially to people with young children to watch this movie. You will not be disappointed.
