Rio..Wonderful Fun in a Movie....Go, enjoy, It will lift your mood...

[Stuart G]

Great Animation, Color, Wonderful Music and Lots of Fun.,

This is a film that is very unusual. It has color and backgrounds unequaled in current animation. Perhaps in Titan AE you see such bright and beautiful color, and of course Fantasia, but in today's world, now and in the theater, this is it. Also, it is an upbeat musical and very easy to watch and enjoy.

It has a Latin bent to it with the story of a geek male bird who meets a hard nose lady bird from Rio. The plot is fairly straight forward, and somewhat predictable, but the fun, and happiness of this film are in the story, the jokes, the music and the pace. . This story is happy and joyful almost all the way through. There is music and carnival, color and light, jokes and soaring views, birds and more birds, conflict and love, and some surprises too.

In 3D it has got to be great, but I saw it in 2D and knew what a gift this one was anyway. There is a joy to life and love here, that few films have. It is a happy musical journey with dancing and fun that everyone can experience. There is no deep sub plot here, just a wonderful time in Rio with some wonderful birds and people..What is unusual is this film made feel very happy. Happy enough to sit through the end titles still tapping my foot to the Latin beat. It is a joy, and I walked out with a big smile on my face.

2. I just attended a meeting with some old friends.

One saw Rio, and she said it was also outstanding. I've known Cathy for about 25 years. I was happy that she also enjoyed this film.
I push it because it is genuinely fun. I think that for its simplicity and joy, it will go down not only as one of the most profitable films ever, but one of the happiest.
