Trivia:
There are roughly 150 Spix's Macaws that make up the giant "2" of the U.S. teaser poster. The number of Spix's Macaws within that formation seems to loosely follow the real-life population of the species left in existence (most of which are kept in captivity around other parts of the world).

While it wasn't the best movie or even the best animation I have seen
this year, this movie is definitely entertaining.
The movie begins with Blu, Jewel and their three kids having fun in
their home in Rio, while Blu's former owner, Linda, and her husband,
Tulio, are in the amazon. While in the Amazon, they discover a flock of
blue macaws. Seeing this on the news, Jewel is desperate to visit and
the story begins as Blu, his family and his friends from the last movie
accompany him to the Amazon.
The story is decent. There are quite a few songs and plenty of comedic
moments as well. While Blu is trying to fit in the tribe, there are a
couple of dangerous foes around, Nigel and an illegal tree logger (one
of which had plenty of moments which kind of reminded me of Avatar).
There are plenty of great moments in the amazon when Blu is trying to
fit in, which leads to one of my favourite moments, which was when they
revealed the Pit of Doom. Also, it was fun to see Nigel (the white
cockatoo) back, along with some new characters. The voice-work and
music were quite good as well.
This movie is entertaining, the story and ending are nice as well.
Although I have rated it the same as Rio, I think this was a little
better. Found it to be quite funny and more action packed as well. A
fun family movie.
