Because it is a parrot-related forum and probably here are some Rio fans, I thought I'll create such thread for opinion discussion - how do you feel? Is it a good idea that Disney+ is making another movie?
Background information: Blue Sky is now closed, they don't work any longer. Disney+ bought their two franchises - Ice Age and Rio. This year they released Ice Age spinnoff "Adventure of Wild Back" and now they're working on Rio spinnoff "Nico & Pedro" (If I understand correctly, they also wanna make "Rio 3", but I'm a bit confused. From what I heard, they aren't sure yet if "Nico & Pedro" will be a movie or a series)
My opinion:
I've just watched "Ice Age: Adventure of Wild Back" to see how much they changed it and I'm afraid they may ruin Rio. I know, it's just an animated movie mostly for children and it has many unrealistic elements (such as Blu drinking hot chocolate, some people are annoyed that the parrots have just 3 toes) but as animated movie it also has many realistic elements - before creating the first Rio movie, the creators spent few hours in a zoo observing birds to catch their look quite right (at least I read it somewhere). And actually - most birds appeared in Rio have defined species. Sure, some of them have wrong colors. I don't know if you know, Blu is inspired by real life Spix's macaw named Presley and I'd say that the first minutes of Rio are loosely based on his life - Presley was found in Minnesota being the only Spix's macaw in US (like Blu) and his owner didn't know how rare bird they have. Because of it he was moved to a zoo in Sao Paulo to pair him with a female.
Why do I think that Disney+ may ruin it? I'm afraid that they will be making it just for money. Coming back to the newest Ice Age movie - it's not the same movie as others. I can understand the lack of Scrat (because they lost license for him) but... where is Peaches? She is Manny's daughter, so she should be there! Also, I think that the animation of the new dinos is worse. I won't be surprised if instead of blue and gold macaws, military macaws, yellow headed amazons, golden conures and other realistic background parrots, they give some abstract parrots something like pink one with a blue belly, yellow head and red tail
Final note: I'm not a kind of person who thinks that the new continuation made by different studio is always worse. It's based on already watched movie made by the same studio as Rio 3 is being made.
Ps. Also I find Manny's new voice as strange but I don't know how he sounds originally in Blue Sky movies. I've heard that they aren't gonna change Rio cast voice but idk if that's true.
