SYNOPSIS: The cast of
the animated hit comedy Rio returns — along with a new flock
of all-star voice talent, including Bruno Mars, Kristin
Chenoweth, Andy Garcia and more — in this high-flying sequel
for the whole family. The party continues when Blu (Oscar®
nominee Jesse Eisenberg1), Jewel (Oscar® winner Anne Hathaway2)
and their three kids take a walk on the wild side and embark on
a colorful, comical, music-filled journey through the Amazon. As
Blu tries to fit into his new surroundings, he goes beak-to-beak
with the villainous Nigel, and meets the most fearsome adversary
of all: his father-in-law!
