The Best Movie of the Year!

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2011)

This movie is already on top of my all-time favorite list for animations. It is colorful, very funny, and did I mention about the local Carioca (which means from Rio) scenery, it is gorgeous! The Carnaval scenes were so real, I felt I was part of the party. The music was beautiful and energetic. It demonstrated in several ways how rich and fun Brazilian music is. The story is simple, maybe even predictable, but the characters are well developed and again, extremely fun to watch. So if you want to have a wonderful time at the movies, especially with your kids and family, this movie is a "must go"! A jewel not to be missed! The 3D version with digital sound is the clear best choice.
Have fun in Rio!
