which is released in cinemas from 8th April (4th April in Scotland). Rio is
the story of a rare macaw named Blu who's happy living at home in America.
But the winged wonder has never tasted freedom so when he heads down to Rio
to meet a female macaw from the rainforest named Jewel, the adventure starts
to go wild.
