The Dinner Table
USA 96 min.
From the makers of the Ice Age films comes Rio, an animated comedy adventure about taking a walk on the wild side. Set in the magnificent city of Rio de Janeiro and the lush rainforest of Brazil, the comedy-adventure centers on Blu (voice of Jesse Eisenberg), a rare macaw who thinks he is the last of his kind. When Blu discovers there’s another—and that she’s a she—he leaves the comforts of his cage in small town Minnesota and heads to Rio. But it’s far from love at first sight between the domesticated and flight-challenged Blu and the fiercely independent, high-flying female, Jewel (voice of Anne Hathaway). Unexpectedly thrown together, they embark on an adventure of a lifetime, where they learn about friendship, love, courage, and being open to life’s many wonders. Rio brings together a menagerie of vivid characters, a heart-warming story, colorful backdrops, energizing Latin and contemporary music, and family-friendly song and dance. Also featuring the voices of Jamie Foxx, Will i Am, and George Lopez
