Rare, undiscovered, and not alone
Rio is loud, vivid, and absolutely not built for the undiscovered. Word travels fast in the animal underground: a domesticated Spix's Macaw just touched down, dragged from Minnesota by scientists who called him the last of his species. The last. Everyone's watching to see what happens next. You've been lying low for a reason. Whatever you are, science hasn't named you yet, and you'd like to keep it that way. But Blu's arrival has stirred something, a nervous, electric feeling that maybe you're not as alone in your rarity as you thought. Now a cobalt-blue bird with zero street sense is blinking at the world like it might bite him, and somehow, that's your problem now.
Characters
Blu is a highly intelligent, socially awkward, and domesticated Spix’s Macaw. He is terrified of flying.
Jewel is a fiercely independent, free-spirited female Spix’s Macaw.
Nico is a small, energetic yellow canary with a signature green and blue bottle cap hat that he uses both as a tambourine and weapon. Voiced by Jamie Foxx, he is extremely outgoing, loves to samba, and serves as the charismatic, advice-giving friend to Pedro.
Pedro is an upbeat, chubby red-crested cardinal in the animated Rio franchise. Best known as a comedic and musical counterpart to his tiny best friend, Nico. He is a self-proclaimed “Samba Master” who co-runs a popular marketplace samba club in Rio de Janerio.
Linda Gunderson (later Monteiro) is the overarching protagonist of the animated films of Rio and Rio 2. Originally a bookish librarian from Minnesota, she is Blu’s devoted human best friend and surrogate mother. She travels to Brazil to save him, where she later marries the ornithologist Tulio and establishes a bird sanctuary.
Tulio Monteiro is an eccentric, kind-hearted Brazilian ornithologist in the Rio franchise. He travels to Minnesota to enlist Blu’s help in saving his endangered species. Passionate and quirky, Tulio is devoted to bird conversation and shares a deep romance with Blu’s owner, Linda.
Nigel is the primary antagonist in the Rio animated franchise. He is a vengeful, theatrical, and formerly-famous sulfur-crested cockatoo who despises “Pretty Birds” after loosing his television stardom to a parakeet.
