After 3 years, the blue parrot Blue, who can't fly and has human habits, returns to the screen again, yes, this is "Rio Adventure 2", in this In the sequel, the film combines various Brazilian elements with the anthropomorphic blue parrot more beautifully. This is a carnival animation feast, dance, samba!



Compared with the first film of "Rio Adventure 2", this is a more "noisy" sequel. The film begins with a jubilant picture of ten thousand birds singing and celebrating the New Year, leading the audience to be able to Incorporated into this work, and the rhythm almost never stops for the next 100 minutes, the film takes the adventure of Blue and Pearl, who can finally fly, leading the group back to the Amazon as the main line, interspersed with white parrots. Jill's revenge story and the forest's extinction crisis due to logging, the ingeniousness of the film is that as an American animation, Blue Sky Studio is extremely accurate in showing a passionate Brazil in terms of music, character, and culture. You've never heard of the city of Rio, you've never heard of the Christ the Redeemer statue, or even mistook him for the name of the blue parrot in the movie, Blue, but that's how Rio 2 uses a parrot Adventure makes you feel the charm of Brazil, and another feature of "Rio Adventure 2" is that the Broadway-style opera music is more interestingly integrated into the movie. The most memorable one is the white parrot. The song of love on the steamship of Nagel and his poison frog assistant, the beautiful music tells the love between a parrot and a poison frog, which makes people laugh. Of course, this is by no means the only laughing point of the movie. Blue and Pearl return The love of the tribe, the showdown between the wood thieves and the parrots, Rio 2 is a joyous journey from start to finish.



In addition to the Brazilian cultural elements and the Broadway-style opera singing, the film is surprisingly more impressive than the previous film. In terms of 3D stereo effect, it not only shows a rare and untouched scene from a macro perspective. The paradise of the blue parrot tribe, and the use of heavy makeup and multi-element colors is even more outstanding, showing the birds are as colorful as the carnival feast of the Brazilian Rio Carnival. In particular, subtle scenes such as hair, eyes, etc., are fully displayed on the characters in the movie, and this kind of rigor in details is what many Chinese animation movies are missing, so when we see every one in the movie. The parrots that appear almost have a vivid anthropomorphic display, Bruce's serious father-in-law, Pearl's handsome old friend, and even an image of an aunt next door similar to reality. These realistic parrot characters make this animation more realistic. It's close and amiable, but too many characters don't feel cluttered at all, and it's tense and full of humor. Although the ending of the family carnival is a bit cliché, it is undoubtedly still the best work of Hollywood animation.



The singing ceremony of thousands of birds is still ringing in my ears. At that time, Shumei's sometimes cheerful singing is like the charm of Brazil, which can make people feel at their fingertips. Blue Sky Studio can always bring a dream full of surprises. (Reprint must indicate: the original author Mengli Poetry Book)
