Did you know Rio

- Did you know Rio is actually based on a true story? In the movie, Blu and Jewel are Spix’s macaws. Less than 100 of these exist today, and are essentially extinct in the wild. About 9 years before the film came out, a Spix’s macaw named Presley was discovered and eventually given to a captive breeding program. Despite attempts to breed, the eggs were infertile and Presley later passed away. Safe to say the movie had a much happier ending.
They are not extinct! They were just extinct in the wild. But now the breeding programme has been successful and there are several hundred of Spix’s macaws. Recently 8 were released in the wild and monitored, which has been successful. They plan to release 11 more in December.
Thank you, this made my night 100x better
i feel much better now
Oh glad to hear that (or read in this case)
:D
Yeah that is such a annoyingly common misconception especially as someone who is a huge fan of the movie Rio. The amount of people I have had to correct on that is insane.
Reo's villian actually helped me choose which exact bird I wanted as a pet, the villian is a cockatoo, and I have cockateils, which are like the mini versions. Don't worry I did my research and my birds are happy little guys.
I love mohawk birbs
Same thing happend to me
But I only got one
Reo? Reo? REO?

Yeah I wanted one too but I got no money:-(
its been nine years...i feel insanely old

No he was talking 9 years *BEFORE* the film, not that the film was 9 years ago, idk when it was maybe more actually
11 years being a Rio fan. Going on 12years on April
@@johankaruyan5536 ahh my mistake
They chose the happy ending as opposed to the “then everyone dies”
Bros don’t know I’m talking abt people
They’re not fully extinct
"That didn't help at all!"
The reason they went extinct in the wild is becsuse of the illigal pet trade (among other human caused problems). They are no longer extinct in the wild. The movie didn't just bring awareness, it brought donations and several pairs have now been released from a breeding program.
Who lol
bros just doesn't understand your illiterate sentence
The movie had an opposite effect it was supposed to bring awareness to the birds so that they don’t go extinct, but after the movie people wanted that bird as a pet, so now it is extinct
Edit:they are extinct in the wild, and according to ppl replieng to me, they are being reintroduced into the wild, lets hope they make a recovery
This is American Society summed up in a sentence.

@@macglencoe9852 DID I JUST HEAR AMERICA??!?!?!?1/1?1?!?!??! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
@@macglencoe9852 bro this is any society
Also there are 4300 of those birds left
I would just like to let you know that in July of this year a project to reintroduce the species into nature began, there are still few alive, but they are safe in the region where they are being released, in addition to being tracked to avoid being captured again.
Who would even capture them? Also, what anime character is in your profile picture?
@@HitlerLovesAnime poachers would

I wish they made a Rio 3
Honestly I agree, there’s so many movies that I wish they just made more movies to it, for example, one that I really wish they made another part to, is Coco
@@fyolai4lifeeRio 3 is in production and it will be released in 2024 fpr Disney plus
@@pablorex. oh that’s good!
@@fyolai4lifee it did not come out unfortunately
Was so relieved to hear that some were released. ❤️
And thanks to this movie, their species are recovering really well
Wrong, the movie had the opposite effect, more people wanted these birds as pets and now there are only a couple hundred left in the entire WORLD
Incorrect people wanted the pretty bird and endangered the species.
Just like they did with clown fish (finding Nemo) and huskies (game of thrones)
@@givememychannelback5425 correct. The birds are almost completely extinct. There have been like 7 reintroduced to the wild and the rest are in preservation shelters.
Lol nope, the brazilians didnt understand the point of the movie, so instead of protecting them, those underdeveloped monkeys began to capture and sell them, because every kid and their parents wanted a bird like the movie
@@arial012 how about instead of being racist, just say 'people'
It wasnt just Brazilians dumbass. A bunch of white people took birds as well
“a youtube short couldn’t make me cry”
the youtube short in question:
NGL she was my first cartoon crush
R.I.P Presley, You were a special bird. But always will have a special place in our hearts.
Eh, 😒 Was just a bird…
I like certain kind of birds. Because most of them are just annoying pests. Sorry but it true.
lol
The true story is pretty sad. Not to mention this Movie almost ended Romeo and Juliet style. If Blu and Jewel had died in the end, I would’ve cried to death😭.
Edit: Thanks For The Likes
Bruh, ain't no way you almost did💀
Yea :c
Die in a kid movie
@@FalangeRevolutionary986 frieza lmao
@@starryskies113 ?
the story is so true that this species of bird is extinct, actually
In the wild, some still exist in breeding places.
They have gone extinct atleast to our knowledge
@♥︎Purple SlimePup♥︎ no. They’re still around.
@@darkmqtter ^
The birds are not extinct, there are still around a few hundred of them currently in captivity.
I love this movie too much.
I loved this movie. Rip BlueSky studios.
This is truly a game of all time. Great video!
I am relieved seeing these comments say that they are not entirely extinct just gone from the wild I really thought they were gone after I saw an article that says that they were extinct
RIO is a true beauty of a film, they better make RIO 3
BLUESKY STUDIO IS GONE FOREVER 😢
@@vaneraze8685 IK THAT, DISNEY NOW OWNS RIO
@@LUC1D1TI_ Yes.. and spies and disguised is BlueSky's last movie Plus it features WILL SMITH
bruh i had the fattest crush on linda when i was 10
Simp
i always noticed they were a way lighter shade than the hyacinth macaws
Rio will always be a favorite of mine, such a nice story it was.
There is hope, the current breading program has been able to release several birds into the wild.
I'm a huge fan of the Rio movie ever since I was a kid so finding out the the movie is spreading awareness just breaks my heart I'm happy that they are not extinct.
The awareness kinda backfired like.. After that movie more and more people wanted the blue macaws as pets which cause them to actually ALMOST extinct in the wild
@@Kuro.is_d3ad yeah I know that part
Dude I loved this movie
They really need to make a Pokémon based on the Spix’s Macaw I have been wanting one so bad especially since I am a big fan of both Pokémon and the movie Rio it would be a dream come true for me (Also I really want a Pokémon region based on Rio De Janireo so bad that would be a dream come true for me as well)
Maybe next gen, since the new one is based in Spain
@@zach7941 I know and I was disappointed even though the game looks good since I was really wanting a Rio De Janireo based region so bad especially since there are many unique animals in Brazil you could based on Pokémon like Capybaras and Marmosets and not just the aforementioned Spix’s Macaw. Plus it wouldn’t be that hard to come up with a plot centered around a Rio De Janireo inspired region since you could easily make the plot at least in part about the smuggling of rare and valuable Pokémon (I know, I took that from the movie Rio but that topic has never been done in the main series games) It’s a shame really that there doesn’t seem to be a huge demand for a Rio De Janireo inspired region but hopefully we will get one someday.
@@Mario87456 hope game freak see this
@@zach7941 Unfortunately Game Freak doesn’t seem to listen to fans who want a region based on a certain place and that sucks because I don’t want to wait so many years for a Rio inspired region (Same with wanting a Pokémon based on the Spix’s Macaw)
@@zach7941 Well I have come back to tell you that Quaquaval (One of final starter evolutions) is based on Rio Carnival dancers so that is a step in the right direction if you ask me. I also hope that they will include Quaquaval in that potential Rio region as well as that would be a huge missed opportunity if they didn’t.
Rio was one of my favourite shows but that fact makes it much sadder
The guy looks like the dad from Caroline, I still cant unsee this…
*Coraline, you mean
I really hope they can make a recovery!!
They're extinct in the WILD only, but there are a few in captivity, working on rebuilding the population
When I was like 7 I had a pet bird in my house and we named him blue, now she wasn’t just full on blue he was blue white and had a little green on him. I loved that bird. One day when I was at my grandmas house my mom called my phone asking to speak to my grandma and I did as told, a minute later my grandma told my my bird died.
I watched that movie all the time as a kid.So nostalgic 😊
update, there's been a conversation effort thats been released in the wild 52 of em to get them back into the wild
R.I.P Presley.
Fun fact about The Spix’s macaw they are named after Johann Baptist von Spix, the German naturalist, who, in 1819, collected a specimen from the banks of Brazil’s Rio São Francisco in northeast Bahia. At this time, the Spix’s macaw was already rare.
Rio is one of my favorite movies all time I hope these bluebirds get back to world
Man my first crush was jewel from this movie. (woman bird)
I feel remorseful for things that I literally have nothing to do with,being a human (a species known for throwing other species into extinction while also being incredibly sadistic) makes me feel like an awful person for things other people have done
If it makes you feel better, Orcas are bigger sadists.
@@analfabeticgramarnazi8648humans can be arseholes. The world is better off without us.
I think that’s just empathy, you don’t have to beat yourself up just because of the things other people have done. If you can see what other people are doing and are able to recognize it as a bad thing then that makes you a good person.

I loved this movie growing up I’m a happy bird mom with a cockatiel and two parakeets absolutely love birds and my budgies looooove this movie they will sit on the floor and watch the entire movie 🤣❤️
omg, i forgot about this movie
And they made another one because they found out that more birds were coming back
correction: they made another one because the first one made a shit ton of money
Actually, the blue macaws have gone extinct 😔
They’re extinct in the wild some are still in breeding places
3 months ago they were rereleased into the wild
@@TheLexoDex extinct again *bruh* ☝️🤓🤏
To be more exact there are 3 species of Blue Macaw, we have the Spix, Hyacinthinus, and Glaucus. Of these 3, the only one that is "officially" extinct is the Glaucus, they were literally a small version of the Hyacinthinus, while the Spix is not exactly part of the same family of birds.
The last time a Glaucus supposedly was seen was during the 60's, the IUCN classifies it as critically endangered, while in 2003 the "Ministry of Nature" declared it officially extinct. Despite the ministry's statement, we are not sure that if it is really extinct, its natural habitat is a fairly huge region, in addition, since the 1960s there have been other rumors of sightings of the species and the supposed commercialization of live specimens in Sweden, Holland and even in Brazil, it is believed that it is very likely that the species could be alive, but in captivity.
@@subscribe_please_ Uhh..no? What are you talking about? They just released some and are still monitoring them, like around 250 still exist..wtf are you doing??
Rio is such a grate movie and the second one is even better I’m glad they where able to save the bird :)
I guess you can say they had the blues
I remember watching the scene where they’re supposed to mate and I honestly felt I was watching porn T~T

how can you compare that to a kids movie where two birds are just fighting TwT

I love that movie, but dang it was sad when their numbers kept going down
Even as an adult, Rio still slaps harder than my dad's belt on results day
‘And Presley later passed away’
*i* *die*
The species is extinct in the wild some are still alive get your facts right before comment something stupid
I used to watch rio when I was 4 I still do yet I'm 13 BEST MOVIE EVER.honestly everyone must get the word about this amazing movie

I LOVE this movie! It’s so underrated and I don’t think it really highlights the severity of poaching and environmental destruction very well, but a good movie no less !
I just have to know what was expected to happen after Rio, Blue and Jewel have their kids, but the species is still not saved. Who would the kids have bred with? Their parents or each other, the species would still be fucked after that, regardless of how it would have been looked at
well thats just mind blowing just to find out one of my childhood movies happen to be based on a true story
I remember watching this movie when I was little, I don't remember much of it but I remember a bit of it, I loved the movie alot
There is a reason this is one of my favorite movies!
Off topic but anyone remembers when Rio collaborated with angry birds and when the white bird (I forgot his name) started singing all the birds in cages were replaced with angry birds? I used to own the DVD and I loved it
The first rio is an underrated gem
I remember that movie, I loved it so much.
wait I thought the first flock was released into the wild a couple weeks ago
“Is several hundred a lot?”
“Depends on the context, birds? Yes, tigers? No”
I completely forgot this was a movie
I miss this movie
I his was the first movie I ever saw in theaters when I was little, I loved it :)
Both birds were dating
the way spix’s sounds 😭
Damn now I wanna rewatch rio
I cried when I knew that they were instinct in the wild we are losing them
I love you RIO!
Last time i watched this movie and got to the ending i cried because i was so lonely and these birds shared a kiss before flying together. Animated birds have a better love life than me
So, Rio and Anastasia have more in common?
Rio is my favorite movie
I just rewatched this movie haha❤
Another fact: Director Carlos Saldanha initially envisioned the movie about a penguin washed ashore in Rio but that idea was scrapped because they didn’t want another movie about penguins such as Happy Feet and Surfs Up.
WHA- MY NAME IS PRESLEY AND I LOVE BIRDS😭
"Wdym extinct? It's right there."
This is my favourite movie
I didn't know this fact in the wild about my favorite movie. 🐦
I heard the bird actually went extinct. The movie ending is much happier than what ended up happening in real life.
They are offially extinct by now, meaning there are no Rio birds in this world anymore.
This is just not true there between 100-250 currently alive.
I was told they found a group of them in the high lands
My heart sunk when i heard past away 🕊️🕊️
How did people not know this? Ive known this since the movie came out
I haven't watched Rio in a LONG LONG time
I love this movie
Rio still fire ngl
Rio is an obscure movie in the animated movie industry imo, but for some reason it was one of my favorite movies as a child. I watched so many times! Its just a good movie what can i say?
I agree!
I never realized how hot Rios owners is
But at least, the Spix's Macaws are mostly saved, and hopefully more of them will be released in the wild soon...
People in 2100: so that’s a Spinxs macaw 👁️👄👁️
Damn, I haven't seen this movie in years!
“Safe to say, the movie had a much happier ending.”
In other words, Blue Sky predicted getting bought by Disney.
This movie was my childhood my parents described it as me watching it everyday I hade the plush I loved this movie
Fun fact they are now officially extinct
that was not a very fun fact
@@menacingmonke916 💀
Not me listening to the song Hot Wings from Rio a little bit ago and now this
I’m being watched
