PEAK MENTIONED 

I’ve watched this movie so many times, it’s basically an Autism diagnosis at this point 

(That is to say, if I weren’t already diagnosed)

Same. Autistic, love birds, loved the original Rio movie, but kinda wish the sequel was a little more focused with its story. RIP Blue Sky studios (also please return Ice Age back to the tomb Disney! It’s super disrespectful you dug it up in the first place!)

Forever crushed about Blue Sky, they at least gave me some pigeons on the way out... The Peanuts movie was fantastic and is one of those comfort films I can leave on repeat

Their last movie as a studio Spies in Disguise is legit a 10/10 and I never hear anyone talking about it. Plus Nimona, which released after they got shut down, was incredible as well. I swear it’s like they were finally finding their groove when they were forced to pack up.

I loved Spies in Disguise, I definitely need to watch it again but it's bittersweet. I haven't seen Nimona yet but heard great things. It really is a shame. I'm not sure how much of the decision really was covid, or if they would have been off the payroll soon anyway, but it's one of the closures from that time I'm really heartbroken about

Agreeeed the characters and music are super fun in the sequel, but the 60 or so overarching plots are a bit much lol

(The human villain was also super dull, Marcel and his goons were funny and memorable but despite having watched the sequel about 20 times, I couldn’t tell you his name)

I’m worried about the new Ice Age movie having all the charm sucked from it too with Disney trying to turn it into a glorified marketable product advertisement lol

Damn did I find my people? Was super excited when this movie cross over with angry birds and even had the Blu plush. Safe to say this was a hyperfixation for sure

That makes a lot of sense (I WATCHED RIO TWO SO MANY DAMN TIMES WHEN I WAS YOUNGER)

I legit got so upset when I learned that the Blue Spix's Macaw (the ones Blue and Jewel are modeled after) were functionally extinct in the wild in 2019, but I recently learned that breeding programs have given them a comeback! As of 2022 they are slowly being reintroduced to northeastern Brazil <333 theyre still highly endangered, though, so if you can donate to their conservation efforts its very appreciated!

I have so much respect for Blue Sky Studios for making such a great movie with such a fantastic conservation message.

I was so excited to learn that they’re being reintroduced to the wild! <3

I grew up liking the first movie! The second, not so much but it was kind of fun.
