Just watched RIO

I managed to catch RIO today, gotta say it was pretty awesome. It looked sweet and the animation was crazy good. I think they nailed the atmosphere and the whole feel of the show. Music was spot on and characters were nicely developed. Nigel the Cockatoo was especially nice due to his flamboyant nature and attitude. Would have been nice to see him develop just a little bit more. I think probably the only thing not as wow-zers would have to be the general plot is quite expected and normal. Nothing extra ordinary or special happens in the story that you'd already expect.

Overall I think I enjoyed it more than MegaMind but probably still not as much as Tangled. Well....just my thoughts on it. Excellent show though, so for those thinking of catching it, you probably should.
