A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

My favorite animation movie of all time. There is just something special about the theme, the message, culture, birds, color, dancing, drama, character development, music, and everything about the movie. The movie has every emotion that can really relate to your heart. When I first saw this movie, I felt like I became a part of the flock!

Soundtrack- a record in animation, or any other movie. Will.i.am and Jamie foxx are a great combination. Jewel (Anne) great voice, great acting. Rio is one of the most perfect places for animation, there are so many colors already! I love Romeo and Juliet movies, especially animal ones. Personally, i could have listen to Hot Wings all the day, especially the part of Jewel singing.Well, now i don't really want a Cockatoo... but i do want a Macaw! I started looking in the internet, finding out that they are actually kinda cute, and are probably smarter than a cat. Great movie, i literally have nothing against it.

'Rio' is not an animated movie I would personally seek out to watch, but opportunity fatefully presented itself. Minnesota has since 'Fargo' (1996) been an interesting location to begin a movie, but here it has close to no added value. And pretty soon it's off to Rio de Janeiro anyway.'Rio' is a children's movie, of course. It's colorful, has loads of action based animations, is full of generic characters and has a fairly predictable chain of events (emotional journeys included) and my two nephews were mostly glued to the big screen, though the younger one found 93 minutes a little too much and turned to his toys at times. I can't say much against it, nor for it; it's just not for me, really.5 out of 10.

Fly Love. Fly Rio. The same flying tale told charmingly.Yes, they seem to be inspired by PIXAR in animation and content too. PIXAR uses toys, cars, rats, monsters and these folks used birds. The content is simple, a bird has to find her home and has to get what it was deprived of, and that is it's flight. Not revealing too much of a story here but yes, it's worth a trip and I am sure that for most part we will be laughing on gags that we have seen earlier. What I think, they did is they took all the famous acts amalgamated them well and the concoction they ensured that was prepared was sweet.Like one scene, where when the guy tries to drive a bike, he hits the wall and fell off while the girl starts it they fly in the air. A few scenes like the one in which Blue (our protagonist) reads books on how to fly and then prepares itself to takeoff creating a runway as if its an airplane. All these bring out laughs and make us happy. So surely this can be taken a ride for such moments that are many.There is nothing as such jaw dropping or mind boggling in this animated film and its devoid of any surprise too with a pretty predictable storyline. Having said that, its surely watchable for its lovable characters and the wit and the charm (charm is subjective here, I found it charming and loving but others may find something else). The animation expectedly was top class and one scene in which the two birds go through Rio on a glider is where it brings in a 3D element.Song, I loved is Fly Love and for this as a director, one needs a good vision.Note : - I watched this is in Spanish without even subtitles so not sure what each character told each other exactly, but I could easily make out what was going through even then. This helped me learn that language is not barrier for content being shown.A good watch after which I felt energetic its 3/5
