‘Rio 2’ Teaser Trailer

So in the continued tradition of making sequels to almost every Blue Sky movie ever created, Rio 2, which will be directed by Carlos Saldanha, has released a new trailer and an official synopsis.

The entire cast of the animated smash Rio returns in Rio 2, and they are joined by a new flock of top actors and musical talents. Rich with grandeur, character, color and music, Rio 2 finds Jewel (Anne Hathaway), Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and their three kids leaving their domesticated life in that magical city for a journey to the Amazon. They encounter a menagerie of characters who are born to be wild, voiced by Oscar nominee Andy Garcia, Oscar/Emmy/Tony-winner Rita Moreno, Grammy winner Bruno Mars, and Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth.

And, maybe it’s just me, but the trailer looks really adorable, I mean, Clara the Capybara singing “Memory”? Ahhh….

Of course, we do have to end with the stereotypical scene with the animals partying. Thanks for making that the status quo Madagascar…

Rio 2 will be released in April of 2014. Does this trailer make you excited for the film?
