Set in the magnificent city of Rio de Janeiro and the lush rainforest of Brazil, the
comedy-adventure centers on Blu, a rare macaw who thinks he is the last of his kind.
When Blu discovers there’s another – and that she’s a she – he leaves the comforts of
his cage in small town Minnesota and heads to Rio.
But it’s far from love at first sight
between the domesticated and flight-challenged Blu and the fiercely independent,
high-flying female, Jewel.
Unexpectedly thrown together, they embark on an adventure of a lifetime, where they
learn about friendship, love, courage, and being open to life’s many wonders.
RIO brings together a menagerie of vivid characters, a heart-warming story, colorful
backdrops, energizing Latin and contemporary music, and family-friendly song and
dance .
