Our Rio 2 Review:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our boys loved watching Rio on Netflix, we’ve watched it so many times that I could give you a play by play of the storyline and sing “Real in Rio” without the lyrics! \u00a0We had high hopes for the sequel and and we absolutely LOVED everything about Rio 2. \u00a0From the moment it starts the music is infectious and the environmental protection storyline is such an important topic for the Amazon and the rare species that live there. The animation is beautiful, colourful and engaging and the storyline interesting and relatable to kids and adults alike.<\/p>\n

I loved that the movie allowed for some great discussion with my boys about why it is harmful to cut down so many trees and why we must protect our animal friends. \u00a0On top of the great message for kids, the movie is fun, funny and highly entertaining. \u00a0I am looking forward to this being our new – go-to movie on rainy afternoons.<\/p>\n

Rio 2 released on Digital HD July 1, 2014, and is available on Blu-ray\/DVD\u00a0today!<\/span><\/strong>
