We don’t know yet just whom the new actors will be voicing, but here’s a summary of the plot via Coming Soon:
The conflict doesn’t sound so different from the last film, in which Blu (Eisenberg) had to learn to embrace his wild side. But the formula worked pretty well last time, so I suppose it makes sense to revisit it.
As with the last one, music will be an important part of the film. Rio 2 will feature work by executive music producer Sergio Mendes and composer John Powell, both of whom were part of the previous movie, and original songs by Monáe and new Brazilian artists.
Rio 2 is slated for release on April 11, 2014.
