Rio
In Rio de Janeiro, baby macaw, Blu, is
captured by dealers and smuggled to
the USA. While driving through Moose
Lake, Minnesota, the truck that is
transporting Blu accidentally drops
Blu's box on the road. A girl, Linda,
finds the bird and raises him with love

Rio
Fifteen years later, Blu is a
domesticated and intelligent bird that
does not fly and lives a comfortable
life with bookshop owner Linda. Out of
the blue, clumsy Brazilian
ornithologist, Tulio, visits Linda and
explains that Blu is the last male of his
species, and he has a female called
Jewel in Rio de Janeiro.

Rio
He invites Linda to bring Blu to Rio so
that he and Jewel can save their
species. Linda travels with Blu and
Tulio to Rio de Janeiro and they leave
Blu and Jewel in a large cage in the
institute where Tulio works.

Rio
While they are having dinner,
smugglers break into the institute
and steal Blu and Jewel to sell them.
Linda and Tulio look everywhere for
Blu, who is chained to Jewel and
hidden in a slum.

Rio
Meanwhile, Jewel and Blu escape from their
captors and befriend a group of birds that help
them to get rid of the chains. It is Carnival and
the smugglers and mean cockatoo, Nigel, do
not intend to give up Blu and Jewel, and chase
the birds through the crowded streets.

I went to the door and opened it. To my

years! After that we were chatting and
talking the whole afternoon.
