PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Okay, so it's not exactly a groundbreaking advance from the team behind Ice Age, but with its kaleidoscope of colour and heaps of humour, you'll be charmed. (...) Rating: *** (out of five)" (Olly Richards: Empire)

----------------------------------------
"For its stunning iridescent look and infectious music, Rio is a refreshing adventure worth taking (...) Rating: **1/2" (Claudia Puig: USA Today)

----------------------------------------
"This is a movie that takes even the hoariest quest-peril-life lesson tropes of family animated films and imbues them with new life and rhythm (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post)

----------------------------------------
"There’s scarcely a moment that isn’t straining to entertain you (...) it’s a party that never quite finds its vibe" (Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly)

----------------------------------------
"Give Saldanha's film an A-plus for visuals and a B-minus for story (...) It almost seems uncharitable to mention that the film's looks, sound, and characters are better developed than the story (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Carrie Rickey: Philadelphia Inquirer)
