Deborah Ross The Spectator I've never heard an adult say, "I must go see that film. It has Jesse Eisenberg's voice in it." They could have spent the money on something else, like a better story. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Roger Moore Tribune News Service Comical, colorful, wonderfully cast and beautifully animated, "Rio" is the first Blue Sky movie that could be compared to the best of Pixar. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 16, 2013 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Rio is a beautifully animated family frolic sure to keep the little ones joyfully content. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 29, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review This is a children’s film through and through, with lots of pretty colors and butt jokes to entertain the 4-to-8-year-old range. Rated: 1/4 Mar 9, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Rio doesn't rest its dynamic dancing impulse. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 9, 2022 Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk With Blu and Jewel chained together (like the hero and heroine of The 39 Steps), there are thrills, spills and gags galore.
