Fifteen years later, Blu is a domesticated and intelligent bird that does not fly and lives a comfortable life with bookshop owner Linda.

He invites Linda to bring Blu to Rio so that he and Jewel can save their species. Linda travels with Blu and Tulio to Rio de Janeiro and they leave Blu and Jewel in a large cage in the institute where Tulio works. While they are having dinner, smugglers break into the institute and steal Blu and Jewel to sell them. Linda and Tulio look everywhere for Blu, who is chained to Jewel and hidden in a slum.

of your heart, it's like samba.

You fly!

See? It's easy!

Easy?

Easy for you to say, because from here

it looks really, really hard.

Hey, if you want to see Linda again,

this is the only way.

Okay. You're right.

- Yes, I am.

- This is for Linda.

- Right.

- Keep it simple.

- Easy breezy.

- Thrust, lift, drag...

- Come on! Let's go!

- Wait!

- Inside, outside, inside, outside.

- Inside, outside, inside, outside.

Come on, Blu! You can do it!

I can do it. I can do it.

I can do it.

I can't do it!

Not again!

- Am I dead?

- No!

We're still alive!

Wow! This is incredible.

Wow.

This is the most beautiful thing

I've ever seen.

See what you've been missing?

Yeah.

All right, Blu, you're flying!

Sort of. Not really, but do you feel it?

Yes!

I do feel it.

No, no, Blu! Wait!

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

We're gonna die!

You did not feel it in here.

You think?

Let's catch a ride to Luiz.

Hurry, you two!

Okay.

Last of the species here.

Move it!

Hey. Wait up.

Come on, lovebirds!

You made it.

I would love to go five minutes

without almost getting killed.

Is that too much to ask?

For a bird who can't fly, yeah.

They're starting to close off the streets

for Carnaval.

You better be right, kid.

Because we're running out of time.

I'll never be able to get my car

through this crowd.

Don't worry, I'm on it.

Watch it!

Hey, kid, how did you get this bike?

- I traded it for your Jeep.

- What?

Yeah, it's in great condition.

Well, good condition!

Hey! Out of the way!

Look out!

Hold on!

I'm going to chew through my own leg

if this doesn't come off soon.

Relax. If I know Luiz,

we're right where we want to be.

Hey! Rafi!

If it isn't the king of Carnaval!

Nico! Pedro! What up, family?

Where you been hiding yourself, bird?

Man, I thought you were dead.

Hold up! Rewind.

Ain't that the bird from the cage?

I think our love lessons went down smooth.

You work fast.

Baby got beak.

You was locked up

and now you're rolling with a hot-wing.

I want to be like you.

No, it's not what you think.

We're just chained together.

Hey, I'm not judging you.

- Keep it spicy.

- Oh, yeah.

Hey, guys, we're looking for Luiz.

Have you seen him?

Yeah, I seen him, but you didn't,

because you just missed him.

He took the trolley back to the garage.

Great.

Relax, baby bird.

You could catch the next one.

Yeah, it's time to take it to the next level.

What's wrong with this level?

Come on! This ain't the level.

The next level's the level.

You got to shake your tail feathers.

We got to get this chain off first.

Come on, lovebirds! You're in Rio!

You should enjoy it!

Yeah! Live a little.

We got them.

Hey!

Welcome to paradise!

Some party, huh?

This is the coolest place I've ever seen.

Despite all the obvious

health code violations.

I like you!

Nothing you say makes any sense.

All right, everyone, listen up!

Rafi has some special guests

from out of town

and let's show them some love,

because I don't think they get out much.

Everybody put their wings together

and clap them as loud as you can.

Flap them. Clap them.

I don't care, slap them.

Party in the Ipanema, baby.

I wanna party

I wanna samba

I wanna party

I wanna samba

I wanna party

- And live my life

- My life

- I wanna party

- Party

And fly

High! I'm gonna fly

Fly just like a bird

But you are a bird

Oh, yeah, you're right

So let me fly just like a rocket then

- Okay

- Fly so high

Where I need to come down for oxygen

'Cause once we start it

Baby, ain't no, ain't no stopping then

'Cause I just want to live my life

and party

All I want is to be free

And rock my body

Okay

I've been around the world

And I want to live my life in Rio

'Cause I Rio, 'cause I Rio realize

What are you doing?

I don't know.

All right, Blu!

And fly!

I'm that samba, samba master

Master, master, master, master

Push out sound from a ghetto blaster

Blaster, blaster, blaster, blaster

Hey. She likes you.

What are you talking about?

Haven't you been listening?

No, but I've been watching.

Just be yourself. Go on.

And fly

You two are coming with me.

In your little monkey dreams.

Yeah.

That was meant for you.

Come on. Can we all just get along?

This isn't your fight, big-nose.

You mess with my friends,

you mess with me!

And us!

Yeah, little King Kong.

I don't know what's going on here.

Birds versus monkeys!

Get them!

Yippee-kai-yay, monkey man!

Yee-haw! Giddy-up!

Missed!

We got to go!

Need a lift?

Take that, you funky monkey!

- Thank you!

- Anytime!

That's what I'm talking about!

Man, we threw down!

Yeah, we threw down.

You guys were like fire and ice.

- Thunder and lightning!

- Hip and hop!

Cheese and sprinkles!

It's a Minnesota thing.

You see?

Nothing you say makes any sense.

Come on, follow me.

What?

But the birds were here.

Yeah, sure they were, kid.

I swear, the birds were right here.

- Well, how do you know?

- Because

I'm... I'm the one who took them.

You!

I didn't want to hurt anybody,

I needed the money.

But Fernando, I trusted you!

I know, but...

Man, that's good.

Hey, guys.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to see

if you had any work for me.

Well, if you were here two hours ago,

you could've helped us load the...

- What?

- Shut up.

So, why are you guys dressed for Carnaval?

So no one will notice us

when we smuggle these...

Shut up!

We made a float.

A float!

So you guys are going to the parade.

Can I come?

I'm a great dancer.

Can he come? Come on, please.

Three is better than two.

Fine. We got to hurry though.

I almost forgot.

Where did I put it?

I thought it was right here.

There it is.

Got it.

Let's go.

Hurry up, kid.

Can he ride on the plane with us, too?

Shut up!

No. We can't let them get on that plane.

You can drive a motorcycle, right?

You insult me.

No, I can't drive a motorcycle.

It's just like riding a snowmobile.

What happened?

Papa?

What happened?

Oh, no! Let me go.

Stop your chirping and talk to me!

No, no. I don't know anything. Help!

When I bite down on your head,

will it go "pop," or will it go "crack"?

Where are the cerulean birds?

That means blue, by the way.

They escaped. Went to Luiz.

Anything else?

They said you were very nice.

Did they?

Liar.

And handsome, too.

Never send a monkey to do a bird's job.

Don't worry. I got it.

There he goes. That's my boy.

Is it hot? I think I'm sweating.

I didn't even think that

was biologically possible, and yet, look.

Wow.

Yeah, that's your boy, all right.

Okay, so he needs a little help.

Come on, let's give him some.

Set the mood.

All right, look, I'm on it.

I know how to set the mood. Check it out.

Get a, Get a, Get a

Get a girl

Get, Get, Get

Get a girl

Take her, take her to the floor

Show her, show her how you roll
