When I first previewed footage from Rio 2, I was captivated by the film’s visual and musical vibrancy. And while the familiarity of lovable blue macaws Jewel and Blu is a draw for audiences, I found myself intrigued by the Amazon setting, phenomenal voice cast, and get-up-on-your-feet score. After a successful theatrical run, families can now relive Jewel and Blu’s Amazon adventure from the comfort of their homes.
From Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and Blu Sky Studios, Rio 2 stars the voice talents of Bruno Mars, Kristin Chenoweth, Andy Garcia, Anne Hathaway, will. i. am, Jaime Foxx, George Lopez, and more in a film that celebrates family and culture. When Blu and Jewel take their kids to the Amazon wild, they find themselves on a colorful, musical adventure with hilarious twists and turns. As Blu attempts to fit in, he goes beak-to-beak with Nigel, who’s out for revenge.
Now available on 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD, families can enjoy a host of bonus features and extras to relive the excitement of the Amazon in new ways. Here is a preview of what to expect when you order the 3D Blu-ray or Blu-ray versions of Rio 2:
- Deleted Scenes – Practice
- Rio Refresher – Here is a quick recap of the first film
- Boom, Shake, Snap: The Local Sounds of Brazil
- Birds and Beats: The Singing Talents of Rio 2
- Nigel the Shakespearean Cockatoo and Friends

- “What is Love?” Music Video by Janelle Monáe
- “I Will Survive” Multi-Language Sequence

- Theatrical Trailers
My son LOVES the bonus features and Rio 2 is packed with nearly an hour and a half of new content to continue the Brazilian fun! Additionally, families can download two bonus songs from the Rio 2 soundtrack, both of which are performed by Gabi and Nigel. Every Blu-ray comes with 15 exclusive Angry Birds Rio levels for kids like my son who can’t get enough of the game.
Rio 2 is now available to take home and enjoy as a family. In addition to the 3 formats, if you visit Best Buy, you can purchase an exclusive Rio 2 limited edition lunchbox! And since we’re just a few weeks away from the new school year, here are some free Rio 2 printables to download and share as a family after you’ve watched the film:
