The Art of Rio: Featuring a Carnival of Art From Rio and Rio 2

Description

A feast for the eyes, perfect for people interested in animation and art, with the beautiful backdrop of Rio de Janeiro! In Rio we met Blu, a pet blue macaw who lived in Minnesota and was thought to be the last male of his species. He was taken to Rio de Janeiro to mate with the free-spirited female blue macaw, Jewel, and - during the course of several adventures in the city - they fell in love. Rio 2 reveals the next chapter in their life together as they raise their three chicks.
