 From the creators of the hit series "The ice Age” (ICE AGE) comes RIO, a 3D comedy in the name of the wildest and wildest adventure. Blu is a domesticated macaw, never learned to fly and leads a comfortable life with his best friend and owner, Linda, in the small town of Moose Lake, Minnesota. Blu and Linda think that the bird is the last specimen of its species but, when they learn of the existence of another macaw in Rio de Janeiro, they decide to leave for the distant and exotic carioca land to find Gioiel, counterpart female of Blu. Not long after their arrival, Blu and Jewel are kidnapped by a group of animal traffickers. With the help of Jewel, who knows his way around the street, and a group of witty, fast-talking city birds, Blu manages to escape. And now, with new friends at his side, the bird will have to find the courage to learn to fly, put a spoke in the works to the kidnappers who are on their trail and return to Linda, the best friend a bird could have. From Blue Sky Studios and Twentieth Century Fox Animation, RIO is the largest and most ambitious animated film produced by the two production companies. It's spectacular and grand, ablaze with characters, color, music, emotion and fun. The story unfolds between the lush jungle, a dream beach, a boundless metropolis and the key event in terms of magnificence and richness of the celebrations: the Carnival. RIO is more than a point on the map: it's a magical place, a state of mind and a mindset.  Blu's physical, emotional and comedic journey is the heart and soul of the film, which is like a fish out of water. Blu's journey begins in the not too tame Brazilian jungle, where the young and inexperienced parrot listens to the joyful melodies of hundreds of birds as they whiz and circle around him. The sounds inspire the young Blue to attempt his first flight, which is abruptly interrupted by some animal traffickers who capture him and many other birds. When we see him again, Blu is living comfortably in a small town in Minnesota with his owner and best friend Linda. Linda adopted Blu years earlier when animal traffickers took him to the cold new world he now lives in. Blu and Linda are inseparable. Blu leads a comfortable, well-to-do and safe life between Linda's house and library; in fact, he is so domesticated that he is more like a human than a bird. He knows how to make breakfast and coffee, brush his teeth, and acts as a wake-up call for Linda. What he can't do is what most birds do best... fly. Blue thinks he can use his prodigious brain to be able to fly, but he fails miserably at every attempt. He has written a memo, has a pile of books on aeronautical science and has solved a mountain of complex mathematical equations to calculate the flight path, taking into account the speed and direction of the wind, but it doesn't work, because no book can reveal the art of flight to a bird. The secret will only be revealed to him in Rio - and only through the rhythm of the heart and the rediscovery of his roots. Despite their frustration at being unable to fly, Blu and Linda are content with the way they live. Their life in Minnesota is simple, Linda is quite sedentary and Blu is her friend. Together they are very happy. But their existence is disrupted by the arrival of Tullio, an eccentric scientist who has traveled halfway around the world to tell them that Blu is the last male of his species and that he wants to take him to Rio to let him meet the last female specimen. named Jewel. Tullio loves birds and has a strong bond with them. He wants the macaws not to go extinct and for this reason he works so hard to persuade Linda and Blu to make the long journey to Rio. Linda and Blu aren't particularly eager to uproot themselves from their happy home life. Blu and Linda don't actually go out much and leaving for a distant land scares them both. After much hesitation, the two make the fateful decision to go to Rio, where Blu will meet Gioiel, his female counterpart. The first "date", however, is far from a romantic encounter. The two birds are polar opposites: Blu is domesticated and is happy to spend time in a cage, while Jewel is fiercely independent and hates the idea of being confined to a confined environment. She refuses any kind of limitation, she likes to have her own way. Being the last of her kind has turned her into a survivor and she wants it to stay that way. Blue represents many things that Jewel doesn't like. In many respects, Jewel regards Blu's domesticated life and inability to fly as a betrayal, and she judges him very harshly. Gioiel has some relationship problems, she must learn to trust. In part, her initial rejection of Blu is due to her determination not to be hurt. Secretly, Gioiel is vulnerable. Blu's initial reaction to Jewel is a mix of shyness and charm. As he gets to know Jewel, Blu is captivated because she is everything he is not. Jewel is an outspoken heroine and a free spirit.
