The musical moments, on the whole, stand out as the highlights of the film; Rio 2 becomes watchable when the flat characters shut up and sing.

Rio 2 has a childish, delicious-looking beauty. It's like watching a box of Froot Loops explode just beyond the tip of your nose. Bring milk.

Where the film excels ... in an even more pronounced way than the first film, is in the choreographed animation for the musical numbers.

It'll keep the kids content for a couple of hours, though it's likely to bore the grown-ups.
