Rio (out now) has everything you could ask for from an animated film - beautiful visuals, cute characters and a creative story. It's the tale of a pet macaw (humorously voiced by Jesse Eisenberg) who is taken to Rio De Janeiro so he can mate with the last female of his kind. He is ends up being kidnapped however by a team of bird smugglers. Grade: A-.
