Return of Blu and Jewel

Rio 2, the sequel to the 2011 animated picture that grossed $485 million globally, premieres in China on Friday. The 3-D film is Blue Sky Studio's first sequel beyond the Ice Age series. Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway continue their roles as Blu and Jewel, two Spix's macaws who have their own baby in this new installment. The family's adventure extends to the Amazon rainforests, where they believe a community of their kind lives. Music will still be a highlight, as was the case in the first Rio film. The stellar singing cast includes Jamie Foxx, Bruno Mars and will.i.am, founding member of the Black Eyed Peas.
