Plot
Blu, Jewel and their three kids leave their domesticated life in the city of Rio de Janeiro for a journey to the Amazon rainforest where they encounter a menagerie of characters born to be wild. Upon arrival, the family comes across Jewel's long-lost father, in hiding with a group of other Spix's Macaws. But things take a turn for the worse when they realize their Amazonian habitat is under threat and that Blu and Jewel's old nemesis Nigel the cockatoo is back for revenge.

Production
In an interview after his nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, Sérgio Mendes said that the film is likely to have a sequel, and that Carlos Saldanha is planning it for release in 2014, a few months before the World Cup, which will be held in Brazil. Also, a spokesperson for 20th Century Fox said that the studio is interested in turning Rio into a franchise.
"I think the plan is for the movie to come three or four months before the World Cup. Fox has been talking about (it) and it looks like it's going to happen. We're going to have a meeting I think next week and Carlos is coming to town to tell us the story, and it looks like it's a go." —Sérgio Mendes, January 25, 2012. 
Variety states that Carlos Saldanha had officially signed a five-year deal with 20th Century Fox that allows him to helm live-action and/or animated films, with the sequel being part of that contractual agreement.  Deadline.com reported that Jesse Eisenberg as signed up to reprise his role as Blu, whereas Anne Hathaway has also signed on to reprise her role as Jewel.
