Impressive on many levels
I went into this movie without seeing its predecessor. Thankfully this movie stands pretty well on its own.
As expected (coming from Blue Sky) there is conservation message. Bad guys of choice this time are loggers in the Amazon.
Honestly, the plot isn't that great, however, that doesn't mean watching thus movie isn't enjoyable. What makes this movie great?
The voice actors: the delivery for each character was precise. Blu is exceptionally well captured which makes it easier to believe all the other well done characters.
The animation: the colors, the detail, the vibrancy - everything was done with believeability and class.
The songs: while this movie is not a musical, it is a musical movie & the songs & singing are first rate. Everyone chosen to sing *can* sing, which was an unexpected treat.
These elements work together to give wings to this film & make this a truly family friendly movie that is enjoyable & added to the movie collection. It even deserves its G rating as the villain isn't too scary for the young.
Definitely recommend.

I was quite bored with this as was the rest of my family. I'm very glad that we did not spend a bunch of money at the movies and ended up seeing Guardians of the Universe instead.
