Rio shows off its groove in this new trailer

The new animated film Rio has dropped a new trailer on the Super Bowl (it’s supposed to be good luck). Developed by 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios, the people behind the Ice Age franchise, as well as Robots and Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who! is back with Rio, the story of two birds finding adventure and love in Rio de Janeiro.

Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg) is a timid and socially awkward member of the rare blue macaw family who is taken down to Rio in order to mate with Jewel (voiced by Anne Hathaway). The two do not hit it off, and Jewel is forced to help the flightless Blu along the way after the two escape into Rio. Hijinks ensue.

The film also stars the voice talents of George Lopez, Neil Patrick Harris, Leslie Mann, Jamie Fox, Tracy Morgan and more. Look for it in 3D on April 15.

In 2017, War for the Planet of the Apes brought Caesar's story to a conclusion, but the reboot timeline lives on in next summer's Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Generations have passed since the time of Caesar, and while the new movies haven't caught up with the time frame of the original movies yet, the first teaser trailer for Kingdom reveals that humanity is looking more and more like the savages they were in the first Planet of the Apes.

According to the new trailer's tagline, it's "based on a true American story," and it is. But it's not a happy story that makes the country look good.
