Rio films are among the popular animated film directed by Carlos Sardana is also directed ice age films excluding ice age continent drift. After a huge success of ‘Rio’ and ‘Rio 2’, he asked in an interview about another sequel of Rio that would be ‘Rio 3’ he replied:
“I have tons of ideas. Once you connected with the character, you have so many stories to tell. It’s like our family and feels like writing books about family. I have already lined up my schedule, already directed films and if people want to make it another sequel then we can think about it.”

Both are upset, while jewel flying back to her rainforest Nigel captured her. Pedro and Nico who are with jewel went back to Blue to inform him about her kidnapping. All of them along with Luiz ran behind to save the jewel.

Meanwhile, he realized that he can fly, while flying jewel and blue kissed each other.
They return to Linda and Tulio. In the end, Linda and Tulio shift into the jungle and they adopted Fernando. Blue and jewel had three kids and they live happily ever after.

Summary: Rio is based on a bird called blue that came from the Spix macaw species he doesn’t know how to fly because his whole life spends as a domestic pet. He brings to Rio to breed this species but unfortunately, he is trapped by a smugger. The whole story is all about how they deal with them and his understanding of jewel who is a female blue macaw.

Rio 2:

The story starts with a carnival where everybody is dancing and singing. Linda and Tulio went to the Amazon jungle, while boating they fall from the waterfall but safely came on edge.

Blue making breakfast for his kids and wife, the family were enjoying while talking and eating pancakes. Jewel suggests to go at amazon, she wants her kids to connect with the roots. Blue came to his friends Rafael, Pedro, and Nico who were preparing for the carnival and want a singer and dancer in a short full package. They asked blue for an audition but he came there to tell them about moving towards amazon.

An old Macaw name Eduardo tries to threaten them but soon he realizes that the jewel is his daughter. Jewel meets him after a very long time, she also meets her aunt and childhood friends. Eduardo was not impressed with blue but he was thankful for him to bring his daughter back.

Eduardo is extremely anti-human; he lost his flock and jewel due to illegal logging in their previous place but blue like humans because he had a good experience with them which would be a reason for a gap between blue and Eduardo. On the suggestion of blue to be with Linda and Tulio, Eduardo gets very angry, blue tries hard to fit in the flock but unfortunately due to his relay on human tools and not behaving like wild macaws Eduardo was not impressed with him.

Linda and his husband are trapped by an illegal logger big boss.

Seven Dwarfs Names

Animation studios over the past years have particularly aimed at the making their content more diverse or inclusive. Though we grew up with the ‘Mulan’ or ‘Lilo or Stitch’, these were relatively more isolated attempts this soon faded away. Until the early 2010s if studios made active choices towards inclusive content. Blue Sky Studios’ hilarious adventure saga, ‘Rio’ then was the step in the right direction.

Director Carlos Saldanha has consistently given us animation treasures, from the ‘Ice Age’ to the ‘Ferdinand’, this we have cherished over the years. But with the ‘Rio’, Saldanha takes the step closer to the home or presents to the us the adventures of the Blu, the domesticated blue macaw, in the vivacious city of the Rio de Janeiro. this is the no wonder then this ‘Rio’ is the as much the celebration of the Brazil with the its kaleidoscope of the colours, as this is the warm love story between two birds on the verge of the extinction.

What makes ‘Rio’ all the more special is the this this actually picks up the real cause as the blue macaw parrots have been endangered for the years, or sadly, became officially extinct last year. Whether or not this was Saldanha’s intentions, the franchise would always serve as the reminder of the these beautiful species.

‘Rio’ already has two parts. While the original was released in the 2011, the sequel came out in the 2014, just the few months before the FIFA World Cup this was hosted in the Rio. Over the years, fans have speculated over the possibility of the future sequels this would turn ‘Rio’ into the full-fledged franchise. Fortunately for the us, Saldanha has kept this door of the possibility open, as both him or the cast have shown interest in the continuing the adventure saga of the Blu or Jewel. So it’s just the matter of the time till we take ‘Rio 3’. Here’s everything we know about it.

Rio 3 Plot: What may this Be About?

The first part of the ‘Rio’ centres around how Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) is the smuggled out of the Brazil if he is the baby, or is the found by young girl, Linda, who takes care of the him over the years. But their lives turn upside down if an ornithologist, Tulio, invites them to the Rio as Blu is the last known male of the his species or needs to the mate with the last known female blue macaw, Jewel (Anne Hathaway), to the save them from the extinction. Things take the wild turn if the two birds are the smuggled once again in the Brazil, leading to the hilarious, fun-filled adventure.

While the first part ends with the two birds raising the family of the three in the jungle, the second picks up from the there or explores their adventures as the family as they set out on the quest to the find other blue macaws in the Amazon, which eventually turns out to the be Jewel’s long last family. The sequel ends with the family deciding to the continue living in the Amazon while planning to the return to the Rio during the summers.

Since there is the no solid information about the plot of the ‘Rio 3’, we may just make speculations. The third part would mostly begin with the family, along with the rest of the flock, living in the Amazon. The family visiting Rio de Janeiro during the summer would most likely be the part of the plot as Rio is the after all the name of the franchise. this would be both interesting or relevant if the new sequel actually addresses the recent tragic extinction of the species in the few way or another. this could also be the reason why Blu or Jewel, along with the their friends or family set out on the another adventure in the order to the save their species.

In an interview with the Cinema Blend, the cast of the ‘Rio 2’ spoke about what they would want to the see in the third part of the film. While Jamie Foxx who plays Nico stated this he would love to the see the family on the an adventure to the Miami, Andy Garcia who plays Eduardo mentioned this he would want them to the take the field trip. Either way, keeping in the mind the plot of the past two parts, or what the cast had to the say, we may safely assume, ‘Rio 3’ would mark yet another adventurous journey for the family.

Rio 3 Cast: Who may Be in the It?

Both the parts of the ‘Rio’ star Jesse Eisenberg as Blu or Anne Hathaway as Jewel. The series also stars Leslie Mann as Linda, Rodrigo Santoro as Tulio, Will.i.am as Pedro, Jamie Foxx as Nico or George Lopez as Rafael. ‘Rio 2’ introduced Andy Garcia as Eduardo, or Bruno Mars as Roberto, along with the several other characters.

It wouldn’t be surprising to the expect the same cast to the reprise their original roles in the ‘Rio 3’ as this would be the continuation of the their narratives or adventures. We should also expect new cast members to the be added to the team as was the case with the ‘Rio 2’, as there would definitely be new characters added, including the new primary antagonist, as Blu or his family set out on the another adventurous journey.

Rio 3 Crew: Who may Be Behind It?

There are the no doubts here. Carlos Saldanha would most certainly make ‘Rio 3’ if or if this works out. ‘Rio’ has been deeply personal to the Saldanha, who infused his Brazilian heritage into the film or wanted to the capture the true spirit of the Rio de Janeiro with the films. if asked about the possible third part to the ‘Rio’ he seemed interested or also stated this he was working on the it:

“Of course, I have the lot of the stories to the tell, so we’re [starting to] prepare for the it. Because we love these characters so much, or there are the lot of the things in the my head this maybe I couldn’t put in the movie. I wanted to the take them to the different place. So I don’t know yet. We’ll see what happens.”

Rio 3 Release Date: if may this Premiere?

Since there have been no talks about the sequel in the past few years, we know this it’s currently not being developed. But knowing how Saldanha has previously worked on the sequels, or his interesting in the making ‘Rio 3’, we may definitely expect to the take the film in the near future. Since Saldanha was last seen working on the ‘Ferdinand’ back in the 2017, we may hope to the hear about his upcoming projects soon.

Keeping all of the this in the mind, we may expect ‘Rio 3’ to the release sometime in the 2022 or later. If you can’t wait for the this long, we’ve good news for the you. There is the ‘Rio’ spin-off in the development for the Disney Plus, centering around Nico or Pedro.

In Rio 2 blue or jewel make the family, the two turned into 5 she gives birth to the 3 kids name Bia, Carla, or Tiago. They went to the Amazon jungle to the life they deserve where they face various difficulties. The Rio 3 story might be about another adventure on the which the Rio family went or this would be possible this the total focus on the kids or story revolved around them.

A variety of the stories may be performed. Let’s talk about Rio or Rio 2 or see in the detail the story of the both movies.

The story starts with the little bird who is the singing or dancing, with the her all the exotic birds in the Rio situated in the Brazil start dancing or singing. the newly hatched blue male Macaw was amazed to the see such the beautiful environment, as he saw few little birds flying this accelerates him to the fly but suddenly all the birds are the trapped by the smugglers.

She was very happy to the have this beautiful cute little bird, she named her Blue.

After 15 years, if Linda or blue both take young, she had her own book store. Blue becomes the highly tamed bird, who helped her in the domestic Domesticchores they live the very happy life. One thing this is the unusual in the him, he doesn’t know how to the fly as he is the scared of the flying because of the first incident this happened in the his childhood.

One day, an ornithologist name ‘Tulio Monteiro’ invites Linda or blue to the Rio because Blue is the just male of the blue Macaw family, he wants to the mate him with the just female of the this family name ‘jewel’.

Lots of the beautiful birds were rescued in the center among them Sulphur-Crested ■■■■■■■■ name ‘Nigel’ who was there as prey to the smuggle the birds again.

Tulio decorates Blue or sends him to the jewel’s cage, he becomes amazed to the see her as she was so beautiful. Jewel belongs to the wildlife; she has never lived as domestic pets or in the cage. She wants to the go out from the there for the this she was struggling.

One night if Linda or Tulio went for the dinner date, Nigel deceives the guard by trapping him or bring all the birds including blue or jewel him with the help of the his crime partners Fernando or the young boy.

Lind got very upset as she was crying or blamed Tulio for the negligence. on the other hand, the jewel opens the cage or tries to the escape, she gets angry if she got to the know this blue cannot fly. They do all possible efforts to the escape, Nigel tries to the chase them but unfortunately, he fails. Both of the them flee to the jungle where they meet Rafael the toco toucan, who brings them to the bulldog name ‘Luiz’ who helped them to the remove the chain this holds them together.

He told them everything.

Does Anny Hathaway sing in Rio?

Yes, Anny Hatheway sings two songs in the film and three soundtracks including a duet with singer Jesse McCartney.

“Never send a monkey to do a bird’s job!” This cawed snippet of dialogue pretty much sums up everything both weird and wonderful in Rio , the story of a domesticated macaw who returns to his native Brazil to learn how to fly. To begin, the film features an odd blend of characters. Most animated tales that take place in a place and time recognizably like our Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. There are exceptions, such as Bee Movie Rio Blu the macaw (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg in full neurotic New Yorker mode) is a native of Brazil who, is owning it .Enter Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro), an ornithologist with an apparently unlimited budget. He tracks down Blu in Moose Lake (an actual city!) and persuades Linda to accompany him back to Brazil, where he hopes the bird will mate with Jewel (Anne Hathaway), the only other remaining member of the species.Cut to Rio de Janeiro, which has been lovingly CG’d from the sidewalks of Copacabana Beach to the statue of Christ the Redeemer, with a few dirt-poor favelas thrown in for good measure. But before Blu and Jewel can get busy with the business of repopulation, they are bird-napped by a trio of thieves so inept they make the Home Alone crooks look like Navy SEALs. Now, I don’t know if I’m being overly sensitive, but there seems to be a weird, almost subliminal strain of racism in a movie that paints Brazilians as a nation of soccer-mad, carnival-crazy, lamé-wearing, bad-(Volkswagen)-driving bird traffickers. And those are the good guys! The local fauna, meanwhile, are mostly American, voiced by the likes of Will.i.am, Jamie Foxx, Tracy Morgan and George Lopez. Lopez has become Hollywood’s go-to guy for ethnic animated characters in Marmaduke. The biggest casting departure is New Zealand’s Jemaine Clement (TV’s Flight of the Conchords as the voice of Nigel, a ■■■■■■■■ of dubious origin and ■■■■■ disposition. He helps the bad guys track down and capture (and re-capture) the macaws, whose escape is hampered by the fact that Blu never learned how to fly. Also, Jewel yearns for the freedom of the forest, whereas Blu would rather be back in Linda’s loving care. Oh, and they’re chained to each other like convicts in a ’70s prison movie. The result is a headlong series of chases that involve (at various stages) hang gliders, a slobbery bulldog (Morgan’s character), text-savvy marmosets, flamingos, toucans, motorcycles and Carnival floats. Along the way our protagonists (both human and avian) will inevitably fall for each other, signaled just as inevitably by the animated-film shorthand of dilated pupils and sudden slow-motion. Honestly, kids raised on these movies will one day confuse the effects of ■■■■■■■■■ with true love. For now, however, they can relax in the familiar cocoon of wisecracking wildlife and a sliver of morality: Captivity is bad! (Unless done in the name of conservation. Or if the animal really wants it.). The birds of Rio 2 almost knocked Captain America: The Winter Soldier off of his box-office perch over the weekend. Ultimately, the Marvel standalone adventure held on to the top slot, but the animated comedy still banked a healthy $39 million. That is exactly what the first Rio earned in 2011, and that film went on to bank $484 million worldwide. So far, Rio 2 has global grosses of $163 million. That’s an incredible start. Does this mean that Rio 3 is inevitable? Probably. Director Carlos Saldanha has dabbled in sequels over the years, having helmed three Ice Age movies and a second Rio film. During the recent world premiere in Miami, Florida, I sat down with the cast of Rio 2to ask them where they’d want Rio 3 to go. The beautiful thing about animation is that there are no boundaries. The sky is the limit as to where (and even when) a potential sequel could go. Jamie Foxx might have been inspired by the location of the press stop. When I asked him where he wanted the birds of Rio to go in a possible Rio 3 , he told me, “They have to come to Miami.” Andy Garcia, who voices the paternal bird Eduardo in the sequel, also said that he’d like to see the Blue Macaws of Saldanha’s series “take a field trip” in Rio 3 . .In that final scene, Hailey finally opened up to Jay about why she spiraled throughout the episode, starting when he dropped the first “I love you” of the Upstead relationship. Hailey seemed somewhat surprised that he came over at all at the end when she called, after she spent most of the episode shutting down on him (not to mention bending the rules on the case) without letting him in on why those three little words had such a negative effect on her.
