RIO

The songs were terrible.  The characters weren't engaging.  The story was lackluster.  You can tell ten minutes in that this is not a Pixar production.

The film would've worked better if they kept Blu at a young age.  This way, overcoming his inability to fly becomes symbolic of growing up.

Also, the younger age would've made Blu's relationship with Jewel cuter and would've drawn a bigger audience.  The way it stands now, the film doesn't attract kids and plays too small for adults.

The secondary characters aren't memorable.  The two adult supporting actors are annoying.  And the action sequences are boring.

A total misfire.
