Question

Rio, the movie: adventure and
fun The film tells the story of Blu, a
macaw who leaves the comfort of
his home in the USA and goes to Rio
de Janeiro to meet a female macaw
Rio de Janeiro is one of the most
beautiful cities in the world, but in
recent years its image has become
associated with violence and crime.
This bleak picture of the city has
been shown in several films, such as
City of God. But now it is time for a
film to show the beautiful and
charming side of the Wonderful
City. April 15 saw the world
premiere of "Rio, the movie."The
film opened a week earlier in Brazil,
on April.This is one of the most
eagerly anticipated films of the year
because it was produced by the
creators of Ice Age (1, 2 and 3).This
time, however, the ice has been
replaced by the heat of Rio's
beaches. The film tells the story of
Blu, a hyacinth macaw that has not
learned to fly and he thinks he is the
last of his kind. He was raised in the
house of a young American woman
named Linda. Both live in
Minnesota, USA. After discovering
that there is another macaw in Brazil
- a female macaw - he leaves the
comfort of his home and heads to
Rio, where he will have great
adventures and make new friends.
Blu will face three challenges: to get
away from animal traffickers to win
over Jewel, the beautiful female
macaw, and to learn how to fly. The
film was directed by Carlos
Saldanha, who directed Ice Age (2
and 3). The soundtrack features big
names like Will. I.Am (from Black
Eyed Peas) and the Brazilians Sérgio
Mendes and Carlinhos Brown.
