“Rio” is colorful and polished, a slightly above-average cartoon movie despite its pretty generic characters and plot. While it sometimes feels like “Madagascar” crossed with “Happy Feet” because of its misfit protagonist, the film succeeds in presenting its own vibe. The simple but eventful adventure of the flightless macaw Blu soars just fine, although you’d sometimes wish that they did more lavish visual stuff with the parade scenes. Still, the comedy complements the cuteness, and the consistently and properly paced scenes lead to the expected but quite enjoyable moment of transformation.
"Rio” opens April 7 in Metro Manila.
