After a bit of reluctance, I relented and watched Rio with Mark and the kids. Mark had already taken Luke to see it in the theater last winter, and then we watched together as a family when it came out on DVD a few weeks ago. I have to admit that I absolutely LOVED it.
The majority of the movie takes place in Rio, but I have to give props to Minnesota, because some of the characters are from Moose Lake, MN, which is a real, live, small town in MN (wouldn't you know it, I used to run track against Moose Lake).
After watching Rio with the kids, I bought the music and put it on my iPod. OH MY GOODNESS. I know I'm going to lose all my street credit by writing this, but I really like percussion. Seriously, love percussion. And since Rio is famous for Samba, there is percussion a-plenty. The boys and I have had a blast dancing around the living room to the bird-laden beats.
I love it. I'm probably a little bit 'gangsta.

What is a DVD? ... Our family only watches BluRay or BluRay3D. C'mon.
Love it!! I'm a sucker for syncopation, so I get the percussion infatuation thing. :) Thanks for the pick-me-up! I needed that!
Thanks for the recommendation; we'll have to put that on our Netflix queue. I'm a birder so I'd be interested to see how scientifically accurate it is (not that I know a lot about what the birds do in Rio though!) The music sounds fun; I bet my kids would love to dance to it too!

Lorrene, I would give it a shot! It's definitely not an informative movie about birds, but the colors and animation of the birds on screen is really stunning. I think the kids would like it, too :)
