Get ready to shake your tail feathers! Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment takes you deep into the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest for the most fun you’ll have all summer, as RIO 2 debuts on 3D Blu-ray, on July 15th. The cast of the animated hit comedy Rio returns — along with a new flock of all-star voice talent, including Bruno Mars, Kristin Chenoweth, Andy Garcia and more — in this high-flying sequel for the whole family. Rio 2 is entertaining, and just as educational. Although Blu is originally against visiting the Amazon, he soon realizes all it has to offer! Here we will take you through some fun facts and also, common misconceptions about the Amazon!
My Thoughts
It isn't often that a sequel can live up to the original, but Rio 2 manages to pull it off. In this movie, Blue and Jewel take a family trip to the Amazon where they are reunited with Jewel's father who they believed was killed in a forest fire. They also discover they aren't the last of their species as they had feared. There is a whole flock living deep in the Amazon, but the threat of deforestation makes their extinction a real possibility. Blue is anxious to get home, especially since Jewel's father gives him a hard time about being a pet, but Jewel is drawn to the wild that was originally her home. The two of them have to decide what's best their family--stay in the wild or return to their owners and the safety of their home in Rio.
Rio 2 is an adorable movie with tons of great songs and fun characters. My kids enjoyed the rivalry with the red macaws and the soccer game that ensued. It was also fun to see Nigel return along with his love-struck frog sidekick. There was plenty of action and lots of bright colors. My family enjoyed this movie just as much as the original and my kids were thrilled that there favorite birds were back in flight.
In addition to the Blu-ray, you can also get your hands on a limited edition lunchbox -- it is only available at Best Buy as an exclusive back to school item!

This sounds like a cute movie series. Thank you for your review.
A great movie!
My grandsons enjoyed the first Rio. We haven't seen Rio 2 yet. That is an adorable lunchbox!
my grandchildren would so enjoy watching this at my house
I'd like to see both the first and the second.
Love the lunchbox! I am excited to see Rio 2, we haven't seen it yet.
Very nice have not seen this but would love too
such a cute movie, the lunch box is adorable.
We saw the original Rio and we can not wait to see Rio 2. Rio 2 previews and reviews show this second may be better than the first!

My nephew wants to see this. It looks like a fun movie.
looks like a cute movie. Ive never seen it but heard it was good
somehow we missed this in theaters, hoping to see it soon though, it seems super cute!
When it comes to movies like these, it really makes me sad that my health has kept me from going to the movie theater. I haven't seen either of these but they both look so cute.
Thanks for the review. I haven't seen the first one yet but the colors are wonderful. I like that the stories are great too. I love the songs for kids. Your little one looks so cute too. Rita Spratlen
