Fun Facts About The Amazon + Rio 2 BluRay DVD Giveaway

Disclosure: As a Fox Home Entertainment Insider, I received the Rio 2 BluRay DVD for purposes of evaluation.

Rio 2 BluRay

Rio 2 releases on BluRay & DVD on July 15th!

The cast of the animated hit comedy Rio returns — along with Bruno Mars, Kristin Chenoweth, Andy Garcia and more — in this high-flying sequel for the whole family!

The party continues when Blu (Jesse Eisenberg), Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and their 3 kids take a walk on the wild side and embark on a journey through the Amazon. As Blu tries to fit into his new surroundings, he goes beak-to-beak with the villainous Nigel, and meets the most fearsome adversary of all — his father-in-law!

The RIO 2 Blu-ray™ and DVD brings everything you loved from the first Rio, but with even more laughs, excitement and music! Not only will kids get nearly an hour and a half of bonus features on the RIO 2 Blu-ray™, but they’ll also get their groove on with 2 downloadable bonus songs from the RIO 2 soundtrack: “I Will Survive” and “Poisonous Love,” both performed by Gabi (Kristin Chenoweth) and Nigel (Jemaine Clement).

For even more fun, every Blu-ray™ comes with 15 exclusive levels for Angry Birds Rio™ and Music Machine Sing-Along and Dance-Along songs for a whole family party! There’s also Janelle Monáe’s “What is Love” lyric video, a deleted scene, character auditions and much more!

This is by far the most feature-packed BluRay/DVD combo pack that I’ve ever seen!
