I grew up around birds my whole life (mostly cockatiels). Without a doubt, birds are my favorite pet. <br /><br />Now, I'm a beer-drinking Greaser that works on hot rods every weekend. I consider myself manly. But, I have to admit, the opening scene where Blu falls out of the tree and where he's shivering in the box made me cry. I literally had to pause it and grab some kleenex. There's very few things that make me cry. If you want to see me bawl like a girl, show me a helpless baby bird. Not at all ashamed to admit that. For Disney to able to elicit those emotions from me with an imaginary character is pretty impressive to me. <br /><br />Without a doubt my favorite pixar movie!Javihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762556368346516727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179881630740728656.post-85881893095814441322012-03-03T20:27:41.619-05:002012-03-03T20:27:41.619-05:00I liked it, too.

As a "parront" (two parrots call me their full time human), however, I have to point out that chocolate is poison to birds--and in real life, no one should ever feed birds chocolate/hot beverages. (Rio is shown with cocoa and I think chocolate chip cookies at one point.) It also made me cry and stop it at one point, since I have (thankfully temporarily) lost a bird and completely related to the emotions of Rio's human. But then I started it off again and enjoyed it so much I watched it three times. :Dterzaphttp://www.teryvisions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179881630740728656.post-4509752905412252472012-03-02T11:18:00.148-05:002012-03-02T11:18:00.148-05:00Very nice review, Karen.
