Rio (Blu-ray/ DVD Combo + Digital Copy) Reviews

Walt Disney introduced us to the infectious rhythms and riotous colors of Brazil in two of his 1940s hybrid films Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros, but they have nothing on Carlos Saldanha’s Rio, a reasonably entertaining if sometimes overly predictable yarn that has so many hues bursting from the screen and so much toe-tapping music, and that’s even without 3D enhancement. This G-rated family musical comedy doesn’t really offer any advancement on the CGI filmmaking art, but it offers a handful of treasures and pleasures if one is willing to endure some of the very familiar narrative trails the film takes us down.
