Diane and I finally caught up with Rio 2. We enjoyed Rio and looked forward to seeing how the rare bird family was enjoying Brazil. This movie could have been title Amazon 1 because the blue bird family travels to the Amazon from Rio to find the lost flock of birds. There’s also an environmental sub-plot. I enjoyed the voices of Jesse Eisenberg as Blu (a male Spix’s macaw), Anne Hathaway as Jewel (a female Spix’s macaw and Blu’s wife, Bruno Mars as Roberto (Jewel’s childhood friend), Jemaine Clement as Nigel (the cunning Cockatoo), Kristin Chenoweth as Gabi (a tree frog who has a crush on Nigel), George Lopez as Rafael (a romantic Toco Toucan), and Jamie Foxx as Nico (Pedro’s close friend). The animation has dazzling color. The music will keep your toes tapping. Rio 2 is a fun movie! GRADE: B+
