This isn't revolutionary animation, but it's warm, sincere and huge-hearted. I was dazzled by all the colors; your kids are gonna go nuts for them.April 15, 2011
Rio will not set your heart afire, although its low-level consciousness raising about illegally smuggled animals is nice. Mostly, it's brightly colored fluff, but then, it's supposed to be.April 15, 2011
A fairly typical children's movie, but at least it moves along with purpose!April 21, 2011
Rio is a brightly-colored, dizzying pinwheel of 3D animation in which nothing much happens. Sounds like summer is here early.April 15, 2011
The generic story elements can't spoil the real achievement of Rio, which is a series of vividly choreographed set-pieces.September 20, 2012
This is simply a film that both kids and parents can enjoy together, which, according to the consensuses for other recent kids' films, hasn't happened for awhile, so my advice would be to take advantage of itApril 07, 2012
Basic, good-natured cinematic charm isn't something that should be easily dismissed.January 16, 2013
Comical, colorful, wonderfully cast and beautifully animated, "Rio" is the first Blue Sky movie that could be compared to the best of Pixar.April 21, 2013
While it may entertain the kiddies for a while, for the older folks out there (and that means anyone 10+), Rio is just another animated yawner.December 29, 2011
Bright and chippy as a roomful of parrots, and the best thing Saldanha has done since the first Ice Age.April 15, 2011
Expect the expected.April 15, 2011
Eisenberg's tremulous, earnest delivery matches Blu's big worrywart eyes perfectly, and he and Hathaway, to their credit, give it their all.
