    • Trivia
      Director Carlos Saldanha, who lives in Rio, first came up with the concept in 1995. Originally, it was about a penguin washing up on the beach in the Brazilian city. When he learned about the production of Happy Feet (2006) and Surf's Up - Tyrskyn ratsastajat (2007), he changed his screenplay radically.
    • Goofs
      Linda serves Blu a cup of hot chocolate at the beginning of the film. Chocolate is toxic to Macaws.
    • Quotes

      Blu: So, how far is it to this Luiz?

      Rafael: Not far! Thirty minutes, as the crow flies.

      Blu: I see... and how far as the macaw walks?

      Jewel: Bo-Bo here can't fly.

      Rafael: But, he's a bird!

      Blu: Not all birds fly! There are ostriches...

      Jewel: You are NOT an ostrich!

      Blu: Well... not technically.

    There is something missing in Rio
    This film is about a blue macaw who is brought to Rio de Janeiro for mating. Things go wrong when some bandits steal the birds for the black market.

    "Rio" is set in the exotic Brazil, amidst the world famous carnival. However, the film does not capture the same uplifting spirit. The plot is tiring and boring, with little to arouse or maintain viewers' interests. There is only enough excitement for young kids, but little for adults to enjoy. Sure, the visuals are very good, with great colours and smooth animation. The aerial scenes of Rio de Janeiro is breathtaking, but the visuals alone are not enough to make "Rio" a success. There is something missing in "Rio", and I got bored by it.
