When Blu, a domesticated macaw from small-town Minnesota, meets the fiercely independent Jewel, he takes off on an adventure to Rio de Janeiro with this bird of his dreams.
I SAID - Guess what, they kissed! My favourite part.
BFF Guest Review - My favourite part was when he (can't repeat, it would be a spoiler)
SHE SAID - Cute and Colourful. A story of a kidnapped exotic one-of-a-kind bird who gets lost, finds a new home, grows up and returns to his original homeland in Rio. Lots of adventures with a new gang of friends fighting the bad guys and trying to save the day. A few musical selections (of course, since Will.i.am of the Black Eyes Peas plays one of the birds) for your entertainment. My biggest distraction, although not major, was the main characters voice. Played by Jesse Eisenberg who was in the Social Network. All I could think of during this movie was Facebook;-) Pretty good movie, but doesn't surpass Hop in my opinion.
Hop tells the comic tale of Fred (James Marsden), an out-of-work slacker who accidentally injures the Easter Bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) and must take him in as he recovers. As Fred struggles with the world's worst houseguest, both will learn what it takes to finally grow up.
I SAID -This one was soooo awesome, even better than Mars Needs Moms. My favorite
part was the karate bunny's with the pink hats.....better known as the Pink Berets. I really
want to move to Hollywood!
SHE SAID - A story of a bunny who is to take over for his father but wants to follow his dreams of
becoming a famous drummer, takes off to Hollywood and meets up with an uninspired, unmotivated
'hotty' still living with his folks. This movie was a mix of Alvin and The Chipmunks meets Home Alone meets America's Got Talent. It is a very thoughtful, fun and 'delicious' movie for all to see. Who ever thought that you could drool over gun shooting animated chocolate....but I did! It was scrumptous to watch. Animation has made it to a whole new level if you feel hungry for chocolate during the show. If it wasn't for my age, I would aspire to work at the Easter Bunny food plant. You have your bad guys too which help make for a good story line. James Marsden who plays Fred is soft on the eyes as well. I always enjoy watching him. A very well done job by all actors when interacting with the bunny. It's a hard task to act with no one else in the scene and then see the final product. Good storyline with a good ending. I think both of us agree that this is the best animated we've seen so far in 2011. A note to parents whose kids enjoy this movie......make sure that you have these particular jelly beans on hand for their Easter hunt, to make it more memorable. The gold wrapped bunny would be a nice touch as well!
