Special Features on the Blu-ray includes Rio Refresher; deleted scenes; Boom, Shake, Snap: The Local Sounds of Brazil; Birds and Beats: The Singing Talents of Rio 2; Nigel the Shakespearean Cockatoo and Friends; Music, Dance, Sing Along Machine; You Be the Judge Auditions; "What Is Love" Lyric Video by Janelle Monae, still gallery; and Almost Home Teaser Short.
Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg), his wife Jewel (voiced by Anne Hathaway) and their three kids, Carla, Bia and Tiago, along with their pals Rafael, Nico and Pedro, leave Rio in search of Blu's former owner Linda Gunderson (voiced by Leslie Mann ) and her husband, Tulio Monteiro, who are currently in the Amazon. They are also on the hunt for other blue macaws that have been spotted in the area.
Blu, Jewel and their family do indeed find the blue macaws, including Jewel's father, Eduardo. While Jewel and their children are easily accepted into the flock, Blu is considered an outsider since he was raised by a human.
