Blu and Jewel are based off a real life parrot, the Spix's Macaw. They're no longer in the wild, but around 180 are in captivity with the hope they can be bred and reintroduced.
THANK YOU! I'm so sick of people commenting that they're extinct when they're not. It's that kind of misinformation that could lead to them actually dying out.
@@DanGamingFan2406 Finally got home from work and checked and - thankfully - to be classed as extinct there have to be fewer than 50 individuals left. So they’re horribly endangered but a small positive is at least what’s left won’t be poached. I just hope they can be bred in captivity. Never been so grateful to be wrong. It makes me so sad to see so many animals becoming endangered and worse, extinct.
Actually recently they've just reintroduced them back to the Amazon in Brazil so hopefully they can survive in the wild and release more in the future!
The fact that this movie came out *13 YEARS AGO* and I still remember every single god damn lyrics of the songs is absolutely incredible. I remember my experience watching this movie in theaters, was very cool to be introduced to the Brazilian culture. I don't watch this movie very often but every time I do, I remember all the lyrics for the songs. Being a musical movie is what makes this so great. As a kid, this movie was one of my biggest obsessions including playing the Angry Birds Rio game in my old phone which was definitely a lot of fun
@@Mjsports3730 You know as they say, better late than never. There's still tons of PG movies from the early 2010s that they need to react. They still have not reacted to The Lego Movie as a full movie
Sadly, the Angry Birds RIO game was sadly off the shelves now alongside with Angry Birds SPACE. Man, I used to play those games as a kid on my mother's old iPad.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Yeah, that's sad. I haven't played a single Angry Birds games in the last three years, eventhough I haven't completed the level, I think I just lost interest
The scene where Blu and Jewel looked at the breath taking view of Rio de Janiero while "Mas Que Nada" song plays in the background makes the movie even more magical. Even Sergio Mendes, the original composer of that song, was brought on board by Blue Sky Studio as a music guru, which it's cool.
The movie's soundtrack is the biggest highlight, i remember being so surprised that Anne Hathaway can sing very well (I watched this movie first and then Les Miserables aswell as her duet with Hugh Jackman at the Oscars)
Same here. Anne’s roles in both Rio and Les Mis are phenomenal when it comes to singing. Glad she also won her Oscar with Christopher Plummer presenting the award directly to her.
It’s funny because I learned she could song from Ella Enchanted which came out the same year as Rio (as a kid, I never paid as much attention to the voice actors as I do now).
being brazilian i have such a soft spot for this movie and its sequel, the colors and the music are so vibrant and alive it perfectly represents brasil... also, carnaval in rio does look like that, but celebrations change a lot regionally!!
So, sadly Disney shut Blue Sky down in either 2021 or 2022, the last project they made was Ice Age: Scrat Tales. However the last project of theirs is technically Nimona, since the movie got picked up by Netflix after the studio shut down.
@@crystalgemgirl731 Probably not. When thinking about two different films originally conceived by Blue Sky moments before being shut down. The WRONG way was making another Ice Age film (albeit poorly written with lackluster animation) with the character Buck as the lead role and releasing it directly on Disney+ The RIGHT way was Nimona. It had the storyboards, but was shut down before animation began. Then Netflix arrived and allowed it to be completed under them.
This movie is so gorgeous. I’ve always been astounded by the animation and the colors. One of my favorite scenes is at the end when they release jewel back into the wild. It’s so simple, but the way she unfurls her wings is just so well done! I was obsessed with this soundtrack too when the movie came out.
fun fact, Blue Macaw as it is called in the movie are actually known as Spix's Macaw... they are classified as EW or Extinct in the wild, which means that only the ones in captivity are surviving
Loved seeing you guys reacting to this. Maybe I just saw this at the right time way back when… but I still have a special place in my heart for this one. Glad to see you guys enjoying it. Rio 2 is not as structurally sound as this one, but I’d argue it’s actually way funnier in spots, so if you are willing to watch, I think you’ll get something out of that one too. Also, that song in the credits is from Taio Cruz (what the hell happened to that guy?). I love “Telling the World” to this day and was very happy that you guys acknowledged the song by the end. Can’t recall seeing anyone else doing that…
great reaction, this movie warms my heart, and I love that Brazil is represented with a good spirit and jokes and fun, instead of only Danger, and War and Favelas, um beijo pra vocês.
i remember feeling really bad when i was little bc the dog would make me feel like i was gonna throw up but i didn’t want him to feel bad for his condition 😭
I love when John and Aaron react together. I was smiling as much from the movie as I was from these two and their antics/commentary🤣🤣 . Great job you two. I never get tired of watching this movie🥰
Blue Sky was a amazing studio, Ice Age I feel was their big franchise but they did Ferdinand, Robots, Peanuts movie and Horton Hears a Who. Disney pretty much killed it when they bought 21st Century Fox. 450 employees let go
7:14 If there's only two members of a species, the species is already extint, we need way more than a couple to guarantee variety of DNA and avoid turning the species infertile.
As a Minnesotan I became curious about this movie when I spotted it on a list of movies that take place here. I'd never want to live in Rio myself (way too hot! I'll keep my hot chocolate in the snow please!) but it looks like a beautiful place to visit on vacation!
Fun Fact: Disney/Pixar I can’t remember which one was supposed to release a movie called Newt that literally had the same plot as Rio about two newts who don’t like each other and end up falling for one another but then the movie went quiet and then blue sky turned around and released a movie beating them to the punch causing the film to be scrapped but there’s tons of concept art out there
man this movie brings back gd ol memories when i was a kid singing and dancing to the music especially the Rio song in the beginning and them otw to brazil. mah gawd the music is beautiful
BlueSky was a 20th Century Fox animation studio, until the Disney/Fox merger. Then, eventually, they shut down (sadly). I don’t know all the details and such, but I know they went out with an animation of Scrat ❤️🔥
Covid is what caused Blue Sky to shut down. They weren't really all that productive during the pandemic both offline and online with Disney shutting down Nimona (in which Netflix and Annapurna saved it). All the Blue Sky rights are now belong to Disney. I still hope that they would make a third Rio movie
Also some notes: -I like to think the “(Not Rio)” thing was supposed to be a statement about like it doesn’t matter where they are now, they’re not where they’re supposed to be -I LOVE how Linda and Tulio look similar to each other’s favorite birds to kind of solidify they’re meant to be together 💞 -the Carnival director was literally telling Linda to ‘shake it’ over and over lmfao -this movie was supposed to send a message like Bee Movie but failed because they made a second movie that completely contradicts the premise of the first one and ruins the message basically ☹️☹️☹️☹️ they are now extinct in real life I’m pretty sure💔
This is one of my favorite animated film! Absolutely love the colors and the voice cast! To answer your question Rejects, Disney absorbs Blue Sky when they purchase 20th Century Fox and it was their intention to keep it running but due to COVID and the economic impact on the company at the time Disney closed it down due to in their words no longer sustainable for them to run a third animation studio. Which is a real shame because I would have love to see a third installment of Rio! Disney still retains the studio's film library and intellectual properties!
Actually animals of the same species do develop different accents or variations of calls depending on the location. One major example of this would be Mexican Eyeless cave tetra in their natural habitat, they’ve developed a clicking form of communication to identify themselves and members of their school have the same accent. In the rainy season the caves flood connecting various caverns within the cave and many different cave tetra schools from different caverns can then cross paths and mingle but when the water level goes back down they are able to reorganize themselves by dialect to find their school. Then they return to their cavern where they will once again be cut off from the other schools until the cave floods again.
The music in this movie is amazing!!! Coco and Encanto came close, but not quite. Oh, watch some videos from the Carnaval Parade in Rio, it's amazing!!!
Fun but Hard Fact: Poor Blu and his Blue McCaw species were officially added to the extinct species list a handful of years ago (when the movie came out he was just endangered like in the film…)Let us appreciate and love earths creatures ❤❤❤❤
😊🎉 bedtime what are the great things about this movie is that they wanted to showcase the beauty of Rio de Janeiro, so everything in the movie in the background highlights all the beauty of Rio, and they wrote the story around it
My first ever cinema experience was this movie! I loved every second of it, thanks for letting me rewatch it with you guys! I hope Disney makes the third movie though!
😊 that’s why when you really look at the movie and I can see your reaction to it. This is what the story of the movie is all about. Remember the name of the movie is Rio. it’s not about the birds as much. It is about Carnaval and de Janeiro.

@@twist58 You’re right! I did a quick google search, which failed me. Thanks for the correction!
I think Anne got her start in musical theater before doing big films so it makes sense she has a set of pipes.

@@junniormattos1what are you even saying??

Yeah but the 3rd part is still under production.
The shut down of Blue Sky did have Rio 3 still on the table at the time. Who’s to say they will pull a Nimona and have it be revived elsewhere?
Omg and Nimona was awesome! And there was a third part!! Urgh sucks
Disney REALLY doesn't like competition, do they?

The bird party lives in my brain rent free
Same! And the Tune Nico whistles
"Undercover, motherclucker!" I cracked lol
The fact that “rebola” translates to “twerk it” makes it so much funnier

And the ones who have been rehabilitated and released back into the Wild
Rio is really such an underated movie
"Real In Rio" was Oscar nominated for Best Original Song. That was pretty cool, shame that they didn't performed it at the show
Loved seeing you guys reacting to this.
Maybe I just saw this at the right time way back when… but I still have a special place in my heart for this one.

That Matrix moment between both characters is so good and hilarious because she gives him confidence that he can fly lol. 😊😊
The music of Sergio Mendes, Carlinhos Brown, and Taio Cruz are magnificent! Brazilian natives at their finest!
jewels singing moment was a spiritual awakening
Fun fact , a groupd on blue spinx macaws have been released into the jungle a while back and have been doing good eversince
great reaction, this movie warms my heart, and I love that Brazil is represented with a good spirit and jokes and fun, instead of only Danger, and War and Favelas, um beijo pra vocês.

in the wild
i wanna party, i wanna samba
Not completely, but yes in the wild they are unfortunately. There were some that were released into a nature reserve though a few years back!
I didn’t know that. That’s so sad 😔
@@StardustandMadnessActually, it's not. There's still 100 or so in captivity..
love everyone on this channel buttt Aaron and John will be one of my favorite duos
Love me a John and Aaron reaction. My daughter loves birds and music so we watch this a lot. Can’t wait to watch with y’all! ❤❤
7:14 If there's only two members of a species, the species is already extint, we need way more than a couple to guarantee variety of DNA and avoid turning the species infertile.

A favorite from my childhood. I’ve watched it so many times and boy the songs had me dancing. Still haven’t seen part two though but I need to.
two of my favourite humans reacting to one of my childhood classics??!! thank u guys for getting to this one i don’t think you’ll be disappointed
This is the type of movie that as a brazilian, you give a pass to all the reinforcement of stereotypes because the story is nice 😂❤
Where is the Rio 2 reaction 😭. I’ve been checking every day
Also some notes:
-I like to think the “(Not Rio)” thing was supposed to be a statement about like it doesn’t matter where they are now, they’re not where they’re supposed to be
-I LOVE how Linda and Tulio look similar to each other’s favorite birds to kind of solidify they’re meant to be together 💞
-the Carnival director was literally telling Linda to ‘shake it’ over and over lmfao
-this movie was supposed to send a message like Bee Movie but failed because they made a second movie that completely contradicts the premise of the first one and ruins the message basically ☹️☹️☹️☹️ they are now extinct in real life I’m pretty sure💔
They are not extinct and so the second movie holds up
😊

The film in which Lex Luthor and Catwoman fall in love.
What a wonderful multiverse
This was a fun reaction. Your duo is great and you guys vibe off each other almost better than any other combo, and i love the shejects duo.
Me every time i listen to any music with spanish in it: 9:44
As a Minnesotan- I don’t know anyone that says “cheese and sprinkles”
I couldn’t help but notice all the voices in this movie.
11:24 The yes and no from them at the same time 😂😂
I think Nigel is the *BEST* animated villian since Scar and Lord Shin. Both likeable and menacing at the same time 😱😈❤️
Rio 2 next ❤

Pick up painting again John, I bet others and I would love and support your work

Great Reaction Aaron and John! 👍

brazilian here 🇧🇷you summoned me, i love this moviee!! luv you guys :))
I don't think you can survive falling from that height into water ... It is like falling onto concrete...
😊 that’s why when you really look at the movie and I can see your reaction to it. This is what the story of the movie is all about. Remember the name of the movie is Rio. it’s not about the birds as much. It is about Carnaval and de Janeiro.
Love y'alls reaction to this XD
Wow never have i cried from nostalgia but this movie i would watch over and over when i was a kid great reaction ❤
Jake T Austin is Max from Wizards of Waverly Place!
I REALLY need Disney to make 3 AND NOT SCREW IT UP!
Another musical that includes birds in it is Happy Feet! I love both movies they are awesome.
More Aaron & John reactions please 🙏🏾 🫶🏾
Next of Blue Sky has to be "Epic", it's a good movie too!
I love this movie 😭🙏🏻💙
This is a movie that I wish they had shortened a bit. It's funny as hell at times, but it drags a bit.
I definitely hope you guys check out Rio 2. There are some amazing guest stars and songs in that one ❤😊
Can you guys watch Rio 2.
I live in Rio and watching you commenting this movie is making me smile 😃
Yall gotta watch the 2nd one
Early to another amazing reaction! Keep it up y'all, the new schedule makes it so easy to know what to expect each day.
Aaron sprinkling K Dot lyrics throughout the reaction was so gold
“I got sons to raise” 😹
It is very sad to see this movie and know that the blue macaws became extinct. 😢
This is why i love it here.
*Ima do my stuff 💁🏾♀️

i remember my mom buying me the DVD for this movie and watching it a LOT in my room.
I WANNA PARTYYY AND FLYYYYYYYYYY🙏🏾🔥😈 RIO IS FUCKING GOATED LETS GO!!!!!!
I have a movie that’s kind of like this but it’s about wolves. It’s called Alpha and Omega. That’s my recommendation. I hope you guys will check it out. It’s really good and you’ll be the first ever react to it.
SUMMONING THE BRAZILIANS. 🇧🇷 And Aaron, your hair looks really cool today!
Carnaval in my city is small scale compared to Rio, but the official parade where the schools show the floats is really like that. It's a huuuuge deal.
Ye hath summoned the brazillians
Yall should checc out the land before time
funny how they said angry birds when there’s a version of the nigel song with the angry birds
