    • 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 (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: [as they're walking in the jungle] Oh! Oh! What was that?

      Jewel: A stick.

      Blu: Ah! And that?

      Jewel: It's just a rock.

      Blu: Oh, right. Yeah.

      [Blu stops and shudders as he feels something on his back]

      Blu: Is that a spider on my back?

      Jewel: Will you quit it? It's just a leaf! Turn around!

      [Blu turns and we see a huge spider on his back]

      Jewel: Oh, um...

      [Jewel quickly hits the spider off of Blu's back]

      Jewel: Leaf. Told ya.

    Adventures of Bird Blu!

    It's story of how love compels to break comfort zone and discover our new self. Visually stunning Rio is brilliant stroke of writers to add magic to adventures and love tale of endangered bird "Blu". Story wouldn't have been same with Samba, carnival, beaches, mountain views, Tram buses if it was not Rio.

    The whole story revolves around Tamed Blu and wild Jewel. Jesse Eisenber and Anne Hathaway did their best voice acting. Apart from Blu and Jewel there are plenty of characters which build story effectively and added plenty of rib tickling moments.

    Even though story is simple and very much predictable with obvious ending, still story survives to tell a tale of love despite differences. Brilliant animation in 3d will take you on Journey of adventure and fun!

    A must watch for its animation!
