Rio

Hey!

All the birds of a feather

Do what we love most of all

We are the best at rhythm and laughter

That's why we love Carnaval!

Call so clear we can sing to

Sun and nature's big moon

Dance to the music Passion and love

Show us the best you can do!

Everyone here is on fire

Get up and join in the fun

Dance with a stranger Romance and danger

Magic can happen For real in Rio

All by itself!

You can't see

it coming

You can't find it anywhere else!

It's real in Rio

And know something else

You can't feel

it happening

You can't feel it all by yourself!

It's okay. it's okay.

I'll take care of you.

Stupid clock.

Good morning, Blu.

Come here!

Tyler Blu Gunderson!

You know these vitamins are good for you.

What's this?

Gotcha!

Enjoy the new book!

Thanks, Linda!

Bye, now.

Yes, Mom, I'd love to visit, but who would take care of Blu?

Mom! They don't have kennels for parrots.

Here's your hot chocolate, Blu!

Just how you like it.

Plus, I don't trust leaving Blu with just anyone.

No, I don't have a bird-sitter.

This is the life.

The perfect marshmallow-to-cocoa ratio.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Well, well, if it isn't my favorite nerd bird.

Very funny. Real mature.

Hey, pet! Where you migrating to this year?

The breakfast nook?

Throw all the snowballs you want.

I'm protected by this magical force-field called glass.

It's what keeps us so toasty and warm in here

while you guys are out there freezing your...

Classy.

Are you all right?

I'm not really built for this weather.

Are you looking for some books?

Books? No. No.

I have come 6,000 miles looking for him.

Doctor of Ornithology?

He's magnificent.

Linda? Little help here. Linda!

Wow!

You're actually communicating.

Yes! I introduced myself and shook my tail feathers counter-clockwise

thus deferring to his dominance.

I did not get that at all.

So, Dr. Monteiro...

No "Doctor," please, just call me Tulio.

You know, your macaw is a very special bird.

In fact, as far as we know, Blu is the last male of his kind!

Really?

Yes,

and recently, we found a female

and our hope is to bring the two of them together to save their species.

Well, yeah, sure, when can she come over?

No, no. She is in Brazil.

Blu must come to Rio de Janeiro.

Rio? Brazil?

No. No, no, no.

I never let Blu out of my sight. He needs me.

No. You misunderstand.

It's all arranged.

You will be with him every step of the way.

And I will be with you.

Look, I know you're doing your job, but I can't...

Well, Blu is very particular.

And we have our little routine here and we're not big on travel.

Heck, he doesn't even fly!

But of course he can fly!

He's a perfect specimen.

What are you doing?

Don't worry, their natural instincts always take over.

Wait, wait, wait! No, no!

Well, almost always.

Blu!

What kind of doctor are you?

Are you okay?

Perhaps, he's too domesticated.

It was very nice of you to stop in and squawk around

and throw my bird.

But now it's time for you to go.

I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry, but...

Wait, wait, Linda. Linda!

This could be our last chance.

Have a safe flight.

Linda, please, listen to me.

If we don't do this, his whole species will be gone!

Just think about it.

Natural instincts!

There is nothing natural about being thrown halfway across the room.

Well, I'll show him.

I can do this.

I just have to work out the physics.

I have quadrated my vector angles.

I've adjusted for wind shear.

Positive reinforcement.

Good.

Okay, let's see.

Flaps open. Perfect.

Landing gear. Check.

Tail flaps. Operational.

And, actually, not bad.

This is it.

Let's fly.

Just keep it simple.

Thrust, lift, drag and weight.

Thrust, lift, drag, weight.

Thrust, lift, drag... Wait!

Blu?

I promised I would always look out for you, didn't I?

And have I ever broken a promise?

I'm scared, too

but I wouldn't make you do this if it wasn't the right thing to do.

What do you say, Blu?

That's my big, brave boy.

And we'll be back home before we even know it.

Your turn, Blu!

You don't want to get beak-burn.

Whoa! What is going on here?

- You arrived in time for Carnaval! - Carnaval?

Yes, it's the biggest party in the world.

You know, a time to have fun and dance!

Oh, my!

Is she a performer?

No, in fact, she's my dentist.

Dr. Barbosa!

Don't forget to floss, Tulio!

You got it!

Come tomorrow night, everyone will be dressed like that.

Not me.

Oh, right yeah.

I am not from here.

Hey, Nico, he's a tourist!

Funny, you don't look like one.

Really? I don't?

Except you got pigeon doo-doo on your nose.

Oh, no, this is just SPF 3000.

So, are you here for Carnaval?

Actually, I'm just here to meet a girl.

- A girl! - Yes!

Little word of advice, you make the first move.

Brazilian ladies respond to confidence.

Right.

Yeah, it's all about swagger. You got to puff out that chest!

Swing that tail!

Eyes narrow, like some kind of crazy love-hawk!

- But first we got to bust you out. - What?

Yeah! I'm gonna pop that cage open like a soda can!

No, no. Wait!

No, no, no, that's okay.

You call that popping?

This thing is robust.

No, no, guys, really, I'm fine. The cage is great.

Love the cage!

Suit yourself!

Don't forget, love-hawk!

Yes, yes, Bem...

And to you, as well.

This is the heart and soul of our aviary.

Our treatment room.

They really like you.

A lot.

Yes. I'm their great, big mama bird.

Wow!

Want some?

I'm good.

Many of the birds here were rescued from smugglers.

Smugglers?

Yes! And unfortunately, the poor birds are often hurt

or even killed in the process.

But with proper care, they can be saved.

Look here. This poor guy was found last night.

Hey, buddy! You're looking great today.

Much better, much better!

Get well soon!

So, where is Jewel?

We have a special place for Jewel.

She's a very spirited bird.

I'll say.

She did that?

Charming. Okay, I want to go home now.
