Story: It's a jungle out there for Blu, Jewel and their three kids after they're hurtled Rio de Janeiro to the wilds of the Amazon. As Blu tries to fit in, he goes beak-to-beak with the vengeful Nigel, and meets the most fearsome adversary of all: his father-in-law.

Likes : This is family entertainment at its best lovable character, laughable moments slap stick humor, great music, what more could you ask for in entertainment like this, after watching the first Rio film this without a doubt is the best one for laughs as Blu voice by (Jesse Eisenberg) up to his clumsy self  in the amazon jungle, everyone's favourite domesticated macaw, is happily married to Jewel (Anne Hathaway) after their adventures in the first film. Worried that their three beautiful children are becoming too city-bound, Jewel entreats Blu to take the family to the Amazon to connect with their roots. Once in the jungle, Jewel discovers that she and Blu aren't the only surviving adult blue macaws in the world after all: she reconnects with her family, including her dad Eduardo (Andy Garcia) and childhood friend Roberto (Bruno Mars). Suddenly, Blu is the odd one out, and must desperately try to fit into a wild, raucous world that seems to have no place for him and his civilized ways.
 The animation is amazing with lots of vibrant detail especially in the backgrounds and nothing looks hurried or static. The colours are even more brighter and colorful than the first film too. The music has that Brazilian flavor and the songs are incredibly catchy. Don't Go Away is a very touching song, but the highlights are the piazza-personified Poisonous Love and the hilarious rap version of I Will Survive by Nigel voice by (Jemaine Clement) was pretty well put together in mix match up songs.
 One thing about this film is that fact if your feel down or depressed this really is the film to watch as its a feel good movie that fun for all the family to watch, you really can't go wrong with this type of movie with some of the best animation in animated film's with the use of c.g.i., this is a film i recommend for all the family.

Dislikes : nothing wrong with this film, great family entertainment

Overall : lovable character from the original & well as new ones, great music & great entertainment

Rating: 5 out of 5 for the entertainment / 10 out of 10 for story / animation
