Watched this by chance (review no. 400).

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2015)

'Rio' is not an animated movie I would personally seek out to watch, but opportunity fatefully presented itself. Minnesota has since 'Fargo' (1996) been an interesting location to begin a movie, but here it has close to no added value. And pretty soon it's off to Rio de Janeiro anyway.
'Rio' is a children's movie, of course. It's colorful, has loads of action based animations, is full of generic characters and has a fairly predictable chain of events (emotional journeys included) and my two nephews were mostly glued to the big screen, though the younger one found 93 minutes a little too much and turned to his toys at times. I can't say much against it, nor for it; it's just not for me, really.
5 out of 10.
