Rio(2011)

Synopsis 
In Brazil, wildlife trade is common, and several types of exotic birds get smuggled to different countries. Tyler Blu Gunderson, a male blue macaw who has been smuggled from Rio de Janeiro, lives in the suburb of Moose Lake, Minnesota with his owner Linda Gunderson. Blu is constantly ridiculed by local animals due to his inability to fly.
One day, Brazilian ornithologist Túlio Monteiro asks for Blu to be taken to Rio, telling Linda that Blu is the last male of his species and he must mate with another blue macaw in Brazil. Túlio, Linda, and Blu are flown to Rio, where Blu meets a Red-crested Cardinal named Pedro and his Yellow Canary friend Nico. Blu is taken to Túlio's aviary, and falls in love with Jewel, a female blue macaw who desperately longs to escape into the wilderness. Blu and Jewel are captured by a boy named Fernando and a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo named Nigel, both of whom work for a group of smugglers led by Marcel. Nigel tells the macaws that he was once a popular performer on a television program and vows to capture and smuggle exotic birds for being replaced by a parakeet on the program. Blu and Jewel flee from Nigel and the smugglers, ending up in a jungle.
Meanwhile, Fernando realizes his error and asks Linda and Túlio to find Blu. The macaws meet a Toco toucan named Rafael, who offers to take them to his bulldog friend Luiz to remove a chain connected to their legs. He also tries to teach Blu how to fly, before the three meet Pedro and Nico. Nigel hires a horde of thieving marmosets led by Mauro to capture Blu and Jewel. Pedro and Nico take Blu and Jewel to a bird's Rio-style funk dance party, where they perform a duet, but are attacked by the marmosets. Their bird friends, including a Roseate Spoonbill named Kipo, fight them, allowing the five to escape. Linda and Túlio, with Fernando's help, are taken to the smugglers hideout. While there, Marcel explains that he will use the Carnaval festival to kidnap Blu and Jewel.
Meanwhile, Blu and the others meet Luiz. Luiz manages to release the chain holding Blu and Jewel using his drool. Blu gets into an argument with Jewel, and they decide to go their separate ways. However, Nigel manages to capture Jewel. Blu, Rafael, Pedro and Nico conceive a rescue plan on Jewel, while Linda and Túlio initiate their rescue plan on the birds.
While Linda and Túlio pose as dancers at the Carnaval, Marcel puts his plan into action, using Nigel to capture the birds before taking them to his Short SC.7 Skyvan. Blu and Jewel help to free the rest of the birds. However, Nigel attacks the macaws, injuring Jewel's wing and pinning Blu. Nigel is sucked into the aircraft's engine, and the smugglers flee. The injured Jewel falls out of the plane, but Blu dives off to save her. They kiss in midair, and Blu finally discovers that he is able to fly. Some time later, Linda, Túlio and Fernando set up a sanctuary to protect the jungle from smugglers. Blu and Jewel raise three chicks together and reunite with their bird friends in the jungle, Nigel is ridiculed for his loss of feathers, and the smugglers are sent to jail.
