Colorful New ‘Rio 2’ Trailer Highlights Celebrity Voice Talent

20th Century Fox released a new trailer for Blue Sky Studios’ Rio 2, which was released via Apple.

The trailer mostly reuses footage from the first theatrical trailer, including beginning with a vibrant, Brazilian party and then showing us Blu and family heading into the Amazon to find other blue macaws.

The big difference is that this trailer spends a lot more time highlighting every single one of the the famous actors who will be voicing different characters in Rio 2. We see a lot more of Bruno Mars’ character Roberto, a blue macaw who was a former flame of Jewel’s. Blue Sky Studios has the tendency to tout its jam-packed celebrity casts in its trailers; it did the same thing for the trailers for Epic. Personally, I don’t see the draw in focusing so much on who did the voices, but rather am more interested in seeing what the story is all about. But, maybe that’s just me.
