Rio is an animated film by Blue Sky studios, best known for making the Ice Age series, the story here is that a rare Blue Macaw bird is captured from his natural habitat and placed in captivity in a rural town in Minnesota, but he is found by a young girl who raises him as her pet and one day, a bird doctor comes to her book shop and says that he must go to Rio and meet a female from his species voiced by Anne Hathaway so that their race will survive.
Rio is a better than average animated film with some rather nice visuals that look great with their bright colours and starry nights, yet again proof as to why you don't need 3D as it would dark and dim and blurry like all 3D productions do these days, though there are some rare exceptions.
As for the voice acting, well it isn't too bad though the bright spot was Hathaway who gives a spirited performance and reminds you of how good an actress she can be when given the chance to prove herself and carry a film on her own two shoulders which she can do almost effortlessly which was also proved by the re do of Get Smart she did a few years ago.
But in all honesty, Hathaway's the only reason to check out the film as pretty visuals alone a good film does not make as outside of her the film borders on the boring, 1 out of 5.
