Rio
, formerly promoted as Rio: The Movie, is a 2011 American 3D computer-animated musical adventure comedy film produced by Blue Sky Studios and directed by Carlos Saldanha. The title refers to the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, where the film is set. The film features the voices of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, will.i.am, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, Tracy Morgan, Jemaine Clement, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro, and Jake T. Austin. It tells the story of Blu (Eisenberg), a male blue macaw who is taken to Rio de Janeiro to mate with a female. He eventually falls in love with Jewel (Hathaway), a free-spirited macaw, and together they have to escape from being smuggled by Nigel (Clement), an evil cockatoo. The theme song, "Telling the World," was sung by Taio Cruz. Saldanha developed his first story concept of Rio in 1995, in which a penguin is washed up in Rio. However, Saldanha learned of the production of the films Happy Feet and Surf's Up and changed the concept to involve macaws and their environments in Rio. He proposed his idea to Chris Wedge in 2006, and the project was set up at Blue Sky. The main voice actors were approached in 2009. During production, the crew visited Rio de Janeiro and also consulted with an expert on macaws at the Bronx Zoo to study their movements. 20th Century Fox released the film on March 22, 2011, in Brazil, and on April 15, 2011, in the United States. The film received generally positive reviews from film critics. Observers praised the visuals, voice acting, and music. The film was also a box office success, grossing over $484 million worldwide. The film was nominated for Academy Award for Best Original Song for the song "Real in Rio," but lost to the other nominee, "Man or Muppet," from The Muppets.
Rio 2
"I think the plan is for the movie to come three or four months before the World Cup. The 2014 World Cup takes place in Brazil, where the original Rio was set. Fox has been talking about [it] and it looks like it’s going to happen. We're going to have a meeting I think next week and Carlos is coming to town to tell us the story, and it looks like it’s a go." ―Sérgio Mendes, January 15, 2012 Sérgio Mendes commented in January 2012 after his nomination for Best Original Song, saying that the film will most likely have a sequel and that Carlos Saldanha is planning it to be released in 2014 three to four months before the World Cup which will be held in Brazil. The plot of the sequel will tie into the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but the exact storyline has yet to be revealed by the film's producers. Carlos Saldanha and Sérgio Mendes, along with others, met with each other a week after the film was announced, on February 1, 2012 to reveal the synopsis of the film to one another. Sérgio Mendes will once again be creating new music for the sequel to the film, due to his Oscar nomination for his music in the first film. John Powell will also return as the composer. Saldanha revealed that no deal for a script has been made as of yet. The sequel will be distributed by 20th Century Fox and animated by Blue Sky Studios. On April 7, 2012, Deadline.com reported that Jesse Eisenberg signed up to voice Blu once again. Whereas Anne Hathaway has also signed on to reprise her role as Jewel.

Austin, Jemaine Clement, Tracy Morgan, will.i.am, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, and Bebel Gilberto have been confirmed to return as Linda, Fernando, Nigel, Luiz, Pedro, Nico, Rafael, and Eva. New cast members included Andy García, Bruno Mars, Kristin Chenoweth, Rita Moreno, Amandla Stenberg, Rachel Crow, Pierce Gagnon, Jeffrey Garcia, Natalie Morales, and Janelle Monáe. Rachel stated on her Twitter account that she will voice Blu and Jewel's daughter. John C. Donkin and Bruce Anderson are set to return as producers. The film will also feature new Brazilian artists and original music by Janelle Monáe and The Wondaland Arts Society. According to one of the producers, the film has entered the storyboard stage, with two scenes involving Blu and Jewel's children having been mapped out, revealing that two of the chicks are female and one is male. Business Wire and ComingSoon.net also revealed the plot of the movie, which Blu, Jewel and their three kids leave their domesticated life in the magical city for a journey to the Amazon rainforest. When they arrive they come across Jewel's long-lost father Eduardo who is in hiding with a tribe of other Blue Macaws. At first everything seems perfect, but Blu is having trouble fitting in. Things get worse when they discover that the Amazon is under threat and that Blu and Jewel's old enemy, Nigel the cockatoo, is back for revenge. Variety states that Saldanha had officially signed a 5-year deal with 20th Century Fox that allows him to helm live-action and/or animated films, with the sequel being part of that contractual agreement.

Now the film series' two lead characters – the macaws Blu and Jewel – served as hosts to the 2.3 million people in Copacabana. This traditional New Year's Eve event was sponsored by Rio City Hall through Riotur.
In fact, one aspect of the display which used to add to its uniqueness is that the fireworks are launched from various barges in the ocean. 2014 Réveillon had a particular theme. Rio 2 was part of the celebration.
Three stages built especially for the event along Copacabana Beach, featured some 20 musical attractions, including actors and DJs. Three characters from the film — Nico, Pedro and Blu – lead the countdown to the arrival of 2014. "It is a wonderful opportunity for Fox. It is the first time a movie becomes the theme for Copacabana Réveillon," said Camila Pacheco, marketing director for Fox Film Brazil.
Fox announced they would broadcast the event for the US and Latin America on Fox. For the first 56 seconds of the show, fireworks were blue-colored representing Blu's arrival to Copacabana, and then the soundtrack of the film, composed by John Powell, was listened for 16 minutes.
During the 2017 Copacabana Reveillon, some songs from both films were used again during the show.
During the 2014 Carnival season, a Rio 2 float paraded promoting the film.
