Rio 2 is a 2014 American animated musical comedy film produced by Blue Sky Studios and directed by Carlos Saldanha. It is the sequel to the 2011 animated film Rio and the second installment of the Rio franchise. The title refers to the city of Rio de Janeiro, where the first film was set and Rio 2 begins, though most of its plot occurs in the Amazon rainforest. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, will.i.am, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, Tracy Morgan, Jemaine Clement, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro, and Jake T. Austin reprising their roles from the previous film with new members including Bruno Mars, Andy García, Rita Moreno, Rachel Crow, Kristin Chenoweth, Amandla Stenberg, Pierce Gagnon, and Miguel Ferrer.
Rio 2 was released internationally on March 20, 2014,[5] and on April 11, 2014,[5] in American theaters by 20th Century Fox. It grossed $498.8 million worldwide against a production budget of $103‒130 million. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who complimented the animation and music, but heavily criticized the story, writing, and characterization. Rotten Tomatoes called it bigger but exhausting for adults.[6] The film is dedicated to the memory of screenwriter Don Rhymer, who died on November 28, 2012. This was Blue Sky Studios' only follow-up film outside the Ice Age franchise. This was also the final Rio film to be produced by Blue Sky Studios before its closure on April 10, 2021.[7] A third film is in development.[8]
