20th Century Fox Home Entertainment have just dropped us a line with the official details for their October 24th release of RIO: THE ULTIMATE CARNIVAL PARTY EDITION on DVD and Blu-Ray.
Here’s the official blurb, followed by the box-art.
From the creators of Ice Age, Rio is a personal journey for filmmaker Carlos Saldanha. Set amidst a colorful jungle, a beach paradise, a sprawling metropolis and the celebration to end all celebrations, known as Carnival – Rio represents Saldanha’s vision of his magical hometown Rio de Janeiro.
Families will flock to the Blu-ray of this high-flying animated comedy that follows the grand adventure of two exotic macaws — Blu and Jewel — whose journey plays out through the color, music, and emotion of Rio. With an extensive selection of special features worthy of a Carnival-style celebration the Blu-ray, guided by Blu himself, leads viewers inside the world of Rio on film as well as the actual city. Go behind the sounds of Rio with music legends Sergio Mendes and Will.i.am; dance the samba alongside the film’s characters; get to know the amazing landmarks highlighted in the film; and explore the city of Rio de Janeiro with Carlos Saldanha.
“Angry Birds Rio” has joined the home entertainment release celebration and is adding to the fun!
