Rio 2 Synopsis
Following a few years after the first film, Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway) enjoy life in Rio with their 3 kids, the oldest and music-loving Carla (Rachel Crow), intelligent Bia (Amandla Stenberg), and the yougest and mischievous Tiago (Pierce Gagnon). Meanwhile, Blu's former owner, Linda Gunderson (Leslie Mann) and her ornithologist husband, Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro) are on an expedition in the Amazon and eventually discover a quick-flying spix's macaw that loses one of it's feathers. When word gets out about this through television, Jewel believes that they should go to the Amazon to help their human friends find them. While the kids are ectatic, Blu is uncertain, but is pressured into going along. Rafael (George Lopez) and Nico (Jamie Foxx) and Pedro (Will.I.Am) decide to come along. Luiz (Tracy Morgan) attempts to follow, but fails. Blu brings a fanny pack full of supplies, one of which he uses mostly is a GPS, much to Jewel's displeasure.
Meanwhile, the leader of a group that is in a line of illegal logging, discovers of Linda and Tulio's expedition to find the macaws and orders his minions to hunt them down to avoid disruptions to their work. Also, Nigel (Jemaine Clement) has survived the plane crash from the first film, but now has limited flight and is working as a fortune teller/con artist. When he sees Blu and his family flying overhead of them, he wastes no time deciding to go after them in retaliation. He is helped by a silent Anteater named Charlie and a lovesick poison dart frog named Gabi (Kristen Chenowith), the latter of which is in love with Nigel. The group uses a boat to get toward the jungle (with Nigel's first plan of revenge being inadvertently foiled by Charlie), and when they arrive, they find nothing in sight. However, they are eventually taken to a flock of blue macaws that are hiding in a secret paradise land. There, they meet Jewel's long lost father, Eduardo (Andy Garcia), his older sister Mimi(Rita Moreno), and Jewel's childhood friend, Roberto (Bruno Mars). Eduardo seems unimpressed with Blu's domesticated behavior.
While searching for the macaws, Linda and Tulio are eventually trapped by the loggers. Meanwhile, Blu does his best to fit in with the flock, as his family and friends are doing, who are against humans and all things human. Blu fails at Eduardo's survival techniques when the former takes Blu out to train him to be like one of the flock. Meanwhile, after countless attempts to get to Blu, Nigel gets his chance when he lands an audition hosted by Rafael, Nico, Pedro, and Carla for Carnival while in disguise as a bird named Bob. When Blu tries to pick a Brazilian nut for Jewel, he accidentally tries to get it in the territory of the Spix Macaw's enemies, the Scarlet Macaw,led by the hostile Felipe. Blu inadverdantly causes war between the two for food when he (accidentally) hits Felipe with a twig. The war turns out to be just like Football and Blu accidentally costs the flock the food when he prematurely sends the fruit ball into the enemy's goal, to Eduardo's frustration.
After falling out with Jewel, Blu visits Tulio and Linda's site, where he discovers a broken CB Radio and after he and Roberto (who followed Blu) are almost ran over by a tractor, Blu sends Roberto to warn the flock as he saves Linda and Tulio. Blu persuades the macaws to defend their homes and they easily outmatch the loggers with help from the Red Scarlet Macaws. tries to get to blow up the trees as a back-up plan, but blue steals the lit dynamite. Nigel goes after Blu and reveals himself as they are falling down when Nigel tugs on the dynamite. After the dynamite goes off, Nigel tries attacking Blu while they hang upside down from vines. Gabi tries to help Nigel by using Charlie's tongue to slingshot a hedgehog quill (which they got earlier) with her poison on it to shoot it at Blu, but it accidentally hits Nigel, who gives a Shakespearean death speech before seemingly dying. Gabi tries to commit suicide by drinking her own poison and the pair are seemingly dead. However, Bia points out that Gabi isn't poisonous at all (she was told by her parents that she was) and she smothers Nigel against his will as he tries to get to Blu.
With the flock now under Linda and Tulio's protection, Blu and Jewel decide to live in the amazon with their kids and friends, though still agreeing to visit Rio in the summers. Meanwhile, Nigel is taken to Rio by Tulio along with Gabi, and Charlie joins the birds' party.
Rio 2 Movie Review
You are advised to watch <Rio> before you watch <Rio 2> because it's continuous story from <Rio>. From <Rio>, after Blu and Jewel defeated the bird catcher and Nigel the cockatoo, they live in the city of Rio de Janeiro. When their owners Linda and Tulio were doing the expedition and found the hidden tribe of Spix's Macaw, and they planned to go to Amazon rainforest because want to meet their species. They thought they are the last bird in their species. I'm feel touched when Jewel meet her father, Eduardo in the rainforest. At the same time, the loggers boss was angry when watching the news about Linda and Tulio because he is doing the illegal logging at Amazon rainforest. And he paid visit to his logging camp at Amazon rainforest and asked his workers to stop the expedition. During the journey in Jewel's "village", Eduardo brought Blu fly around and train Blu. From Blu's words, Eduardo knew that he is the pet. At the same time, Eduardo don't like human-made thing in the group. This made Nico need to find the new helmet and three of them (including Pedro and Rafael) are doing the audition to find the qualified animals for performance. But most of them are failed. Nigel the cockatoo named himself as "Bob" the bird and joined the audition while he is trying to revenge on Blu but he catched the wrong bird who is looked like Blu and doing the audition. "Bob" is chosen during the audition and he is planning to revenge with Gabi, the poison dart frog and Charlie the tamandua. When Blu is looking for Linda, and he is being caught by Roberto (Jewel's ex-boy friend) because Eduardo asked Roberto track Blu. At the same time the loggers are cutting the tree using logging tractor. Roberto become panic and mad and Blu tried to asked him to report this to the group while Blu searched for Linda and Tulio. Both of them are tied in the tree and Blu saved them. Blu saw the loggers want to cut off the tree and I feel sad because the birds going to lost their home. Eduardo want to move with the other birds but Jewel won't go without Blu, Blu persuades the macaw to fight back with the loggers since this is their home and all agreed. Linda and Tulio tried to stop the loggers but failed, and because of the birds are standing on the tree branch, they (the loggers) stopped their work. The loggers boss asked them to continue their work and the birds together with Linda and Tulio attacked them. At the same time, Felipe the Scarlet Macaw who always have the rivalry and territorial dispute with the Spix's Macaws helped Spix's Macaws to fight with the loggers. I love these scene because Felipe should be the enemy for Eduardo but he willing to help to defend their home. All the loggers are run away except for the loggers boss is trying to cut the tree by explode the tree using dynamite. Luckily Blu can steals the dynamite to the sky and explode. At the same time Nigel is followed Blu because he want to revenge and they was fight with each other. Gabi and Charlie passed by and want to give Blu the poison but unfortunately it's hit on Nigel. Actually Nigel is not dead because Gabi's poison is not poison. In the end of the movie, Blu and Jewel are planned to stay in Amazon rainforest together with Rafael, Nico, Pedro, Luiz the bulldog while Nigel and Gabi are sent back to Rio with Linda and Tulio for the further research. Overall, this movie is good because it's bring the message about logging will destroy the bird's home.
