Review of Rio (1939) by Marco V — 07 Jan 2012

Even as a bird, Jesse Eisenberg projects his Zuckerberg awkwardness masterfully. I have seen The Adventures of Tintin, Gnomeo and Juliet, Rango, Cars 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, and finally Rio, but I have to say that Rio is my favorite animated film of 2011.

I think the RT consensus sums up my feelings for the movie perfectly. I really loved these vocal performances. My favorites were Rodrigo Santoro and Leslie Mann as the main human characters, who could have been in their own live action film.

I'm a sucker for love stories, and I think this bird tale tells a great one from the lovely setting of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!
