Rio 2 was a fun, funny, and solid followup to the original film. Both kids and adults should find a lot to enjoy in this sequel. The characters are brought to wonderful life and the animation is beautiful.
Jesse Eisenberg was his reliable self as the socially awkward Blu, a city bird trying to fit into the wild. The rest of the cast is great, all bringing these animated characters to vivid life. Andy Garcia was great as Eduardo, Blu's father-in-law who is not initially accepting of him. Bruno Mars also really surprised me as Roberto, a member of Eduardo's tribe. The animation is absolutely stunning, with the Amazon being brought to beautiful life. The film features a couple of singing moments with songs that are decently catchy. Fans of the original film will find a lot to like about this one. It has great characters, beautiful and colorful animation, some catchy songs, and tons of funny moments. Rio 2 should please both kids and adults alike. |
