"Rio" is fun and forgettable. It's a competently made animated film crafted specifically for the toddler set, who may enjoy the bright colors and boingy action. Older kids and parents will find themselves, if not quite bored, only modestly engaged. Still, it's got appealing stars like Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg doing the voices, as well as two or three songs worth tapping a toe. I can't quite recommend it, at least not for anyone north of kindergarten age, but the cinematic world is not poorer for having it around.
