Overview

Captured by smugglers when he was just a hatchling, a macaw named Blu never learned to fly and lives a happily domesticated life in Minnesota with his human friend, Linda. Blu is thought to be the last of his kind, but when word comes that Jewel, a lone female, lives in Rio de Janeiro, Blu and Linda go to meet her. Animal smugglers kidnap Blu and Jewel, but the pair soon escape and begin a perilous adventure back to freedom—and Linda.

Viewing Notes

I believe I was in ABQ when I caught the first 20 minutes or so. Looked better than I imagined so I finally picked up the BR from my library. It holds up for a pretty good family animated adventure film. Romantic adventure even. This would’ve been a good one to watch with Yumi given all the Latin flavor on display. Voice acting is pretty good.

The Linda character looks like another animated character I’ve seen recently (the reason I was initially drawn into this movie) but I can’t place it. It’s how her face is rendered.
