Rio 2 is a 2014 American animated musical comedy film produced by Blue Sky Studios and directed by Carlos Saldanha. It is the sequel to the 2011 animated film Rio and the second installment of the Rio franchise. The title refers to the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, where the first film was set and Rio 2 begins, though most of its plot occurs in the Amazon rainforest. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, will.i.am, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, Tracy Morgan, Jemaine Clement, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro, and Jake T. Austin reprising their roles from the first film with new members including Bruno Mars, Andy Garcia, Rita Moreno, Rachel Crow, Kristin Chenoweth, Amandla Stenberg, Pierce Gagnon, and Miguel Ferrer (in his final theatrical film before his death in 2017).
Rio 2 was released internationally on March 20, 2014,[5] and on April 11, 2014,[5] in American theaters by 20th Century Fox. It grossed $498.8 million worldwide against a production budget of $103‒130 million. Rotten Tomatoes called it bigger but exhausting for adults.[6] The film is dedicated to the memory of screenwriter Don Rhymer, who died on November 28, 2012, at the age of 51. This was Blue Sky Studios' only follow-up film outside the Ice Age franchise. This was also the final Rio film to be produced by Blue Sky Studios before its closure on April 10, 2021.[7] A third film is in development.[8]
