There are roughly 150 Spix's Macaws that make up the giant "2" of the U.S. teaser poster. The number of Spix's Macaws within that formation seems to loosely follow the real-life population of the species left in existence (most of which are kept in captivity around other parts of the world).

So I was reluctant to go and watch this movie knowing how good the first one was.
I watched Rio2 today in 3D and I loved the animation. However the plot seemed thin and could have used much more work.
OK I would love to write a spoiler but I won't so on a whole I will say that the movie was decent. Like I said beforehand, the animation was great in 3D. But this movie seemed to lack a key element and I have noticed it with many new animated films. It lacks charm. Typical Hollywood wants to keep the adults entertained so we mix in the usual sex, belching and fart jokes to appease the simplest of minds. Of course it will fly over the youngest of children but not the older ones. This is the biggest problem I have with these movies which are marketed toward young children.
For me the best parts of this movie were: The soccer match between the Blue and Red Macaw's and the musical audition which featured a fast singing sloth (very funny) and a panther who eats a singing Capybara is the funniest part of the film.
P.S. I am all for saving the rain forest but this storyline gets old fast. I can only hope that there are people who are already doing something about it instead of brining it to light in a kids movie.
I recommend Rio 2 for parents with older children and audiences who who enjoy eye candy. Just keep in mind the Swiss Cheese plot.
