Monday Morning Talkback: Let's Hear About Rio
Congratulations to the gang behind Rio, which cemented its burgeoning global superpower over the weekend with the biggest domestic opening of the year to date: $40 million, give or take a few bucks when the dust clears today. That kind of showing can only mean one thing: Time for a Monday Morning Talkback!
You've read the review and the box-office postmortem, and now that America has officially welcomed with open arms and/or wallets, it's time to answer a few questions:
· We know it was popular. But was it good?
· Is Jesse Eisenberg suited for voice talent?
· After this hit and the massive success of its Ice Age franchise, where does Blue Sky Studios fall among Pixar, DWA and other Hollywood animation juggernauts?
· What should we call the imminent sequel?
...Among others! The floor is open!

Sequel for Rio: Sao Paulo!
And in the sequel, Linda would get kidnapped... but it wouldn't be a comedy.
This is really just Ice Age 4. Lots of different creatures running from other different creatures. It was perfectly fine, but after a year that gave us Toy Story 3, How to Train Your Dragon, Despicable Me and Megamind, you've got to up your game. This was just warmed-over Disney... actually even Tangled was far better than this.
