Trivia

The creation of Angry Birds Rio (2011) marked the first time that an existing game was specifically adapted to accommodate the release of a film.

Right before Blu and Jewel's escape from the smugglers hideout it is possible to see that the soccer game on TV is a match between traditional rivals Brazil and Argentina. This plausibly explains why everybody seems to be so obsessed in following the game - especially because the movie seems to indicate that the match is being held in the Maracanã Stadium, in Rio.

When Nigel is recruiting the Marmosets for help, he threatens three monkeys after he tosses the main one in the sky. One monkey has his hands over his eyes, another over his ears, and another over his mouth. (See, Hear, Speak No Evil).

Goofs

In the beginning of the movie, during the first performance of 'Real in Rio' the yellow Macaw that baby Blu looks to has three chicks. She only throws two out of the nest then flies away with the newly flying chicks, leaving the third one in the nest.

Sulphur crested cockatoos are native only to Australia an neighboring islands, and there is no similar South American species. However Nigel is a house pet and it is plausible that the smugglers have operated in other continents.

Standard Brazilian license plates are light gray with black letters. They are composed by three letters followed by four letters (i.e. ABC-1234) as opposed to the three letters/three numbers shown in the movie.

Faq

Q

Is Rio the name of the lead animal character?

A

No. The title Rio refers to the setting of the film, not the name of the main character (who is called Blu).

Q

Will there be a sequel?

A

Q

How could Tulio have known about the last Spix's Macaw (Blu) existing in Moose Lake, Minnesota?

A

Although it's never explained in the film, it's presumable that when Blu (still a baby) and other captured birds were smuggled from Rio and imported to the United States, the company usually responsible for sending exotic birds to local pet shops would have records of every bird species in their inventory. Tulio supposedly had done his research and called every company that distributes specified birds to local U.S. pet shops, narrowing the possible locations down to Moose Lake, Minnesota. Another possibility is that Linda posted Blu's picture on the Internet with the caption reading Blue Macaw or, while Tulio was researching blue macaws, the book store's blue macaw books came up as a suggestion so he searched its location.
