About the Movie:

Rio (2011) is a fun animated movie about Blu, a rare blue macaw who can’t fly. He travels to Rio de Janeiro to meet Jewel, the last female of his kind. Their adventure takes them through the city as they try to escape from bird smugglers and learn to work together. With beautiful scenes, and funny characters, Rio is a joyful story about friendship, courage, and discovering who you really are.
