A Domesticated Macaw Looks Just as Good in 2D

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2011)

A domesticated Macaw (bird) visits Brazil, unexpectedly finding adventure and love.
And it's OK to watch Rio, an animated movie, in 2D. The graphics, color and scenery are still spectacular. Almost like the real thing.
The film grossed over $40 million for it's opening weekend. More than any other movie so far this year.
Why are animated features becoming more popular these days? According to the LA Times, one reason is film industry talent are migrating like a flock of birds to animation. Like Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg did for Rio.
And "most live-action films need to choose between adults and kids. But come up with an animated movie with, say, some exotic beauty and clever wordplay and you instantly double your demographic."
