Rio is an animated film, released in 2011 and produced by the Blue Sky Studios/Twentieth Century Fox Animations. The film follows the same animation styles as today’s CGI animated films and was brought by the producers of Ice Age and Horton Hears A Who!
The story of Rio revolves around a young lady named Linda and her one-of-a-kind Spix Macaw named Blu. After realizing that Blu was the last of his kind, the two of them set out to Rio de Janeiro to find Blu’s new partner, an independent female macaw named Jewel. However, after the two macaws get snatched up by a band of bird smugglers, Blu and Jewel begin their adventures with their new friends Rafael the Toco Toucan, Luiz the Bulldog, Nico the Yellow Canary, and Pedro the Red-Crested Cardinal.

The film was a box office success, grossing over $483 million worldwide. It was also critically successful, with many critics praising its story and characters, as well as the animation. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on August 2, 2011 in the US, July 7 in Brazil, and September 28 in Australia. Rio Source is dedicated to an animated film showing us the beauty of birds.
A sequel has been announced, and is currently slated to be released worldwide in 2014, in time for the World Soccer Cup, which will take place in Rio de Janeiro
This cool video game project on "indiegogo" (a similar site to kickstarter) has just been funded, but as it's still running for a day, I thought some of you might be interested into it!
As the author says, "Among the inspirations I could quote Disney's "Robin Hood", the fables of La Fontaine, "Redwall", "Winnie the Pooh", "The Secret of Nimh", "The Dark Crystal", the paintings of Alan Lee, John Howe, Paul Bonner, John Bauer, and many, many others..."

10 commentsOn April 18, 1983, 30 years ago today, The Disney Channel began broadcasting all over the world. In the last 30 years, it has aired numerous Disney movies, television series, and everything in-between. If you were born anytime after that date, chances are you watched Disney Channel a LOT growing up. It's awesome to see such a milestone from the company, considering their original reliance on ABC to broadcast their content. (They now own ABC. Coincidence?)
Below is a compliation of original promotions for The Disney Channel. It sure has changed a lot in the last 30 years, hasn't [...]
