Set in the magnificent city of Rio de Janeiro and the lush rainforest of Brazil, the comedy-adventure centers on Blu, a rare macaw who thinks he is the last of his kind. When Blu discovers there’s another - and that she’s a she - he leaves the comforts of his cage in small town Minnesota and heads to Rio. But it's far from love at first sight between the domesticated and flight-challenged Blu and the fiercely independent, high-flying female, Jewel. Unexpectedly thrown together, they embark on an adventure of a lifetime, where they learn about friendship, love, courage, and being open to life’s many wonders.

A common theme in Rio is freedom — whether it is independence from physical or emotional restraints, the characters in Blue Sky Studios’ newest offering are constantly looking for the meaning of the phrase, “The sky is the limit.” Ironically, Saldanha’s reluctance to expand his film’s straightforward plot is what negates its lasting appeal. However, fortunately its loveable leads and beautiful locations make for a fantastic trip for the children, whereas for adults, it makes for a tender 96 minute escape from the stresses of life.
