If you've ever loved a bird, you will LOVE this movie

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2011)

Anyone who has ever been fortunate enough to have spent part of their life with a feathered friend, be they parakeet or macaw or pigeon, will be glad they saw this movie. RIO has it ALL - loath-able villains and lovable heroes. My only strike against this movie is the musical score is sorely lacking. They should have brought in Selena Gomez for the soundtrack. Despite this, RIO still rates a 10 from me. It made me laugh and it made me cry - isn't that what you want in a movie? RIO will also capture your heart if you are an 8 year old at heart, trapped in a much older body, such as myself. RIO belongs right next to TOY STORY in the pantheon of best animated motion pictures of all time.
