Deciding against an Ice Age 4 (yet) Blue Sky Studios and Fox Animation will be creating Rio, with voice acting by Anne Hathaway and Neil Patrick Harris.
Anne Hathaway, Neil Patrick Harris and Rodrigo Santoro are negotiating to lend their voices to “Rio,” the next collaboration between Blue Sky Studios, Fox Animation and director Carlos Saldanha, all of whom are riding the $882 million global tsunami of “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.”
“Rio,” which follows the adventures of a nerdy macaw who lights out from his small-town Minnesota cage for the exotic Summer Olympic city of Rio de Janeiro, is scheduled for an April 8, 2011, release. Like “Dinosaurs,” it will be filmed in 3D digital animation.
I find Hathaway to be irresistable and only half of that includes what her mouth does. But still she has a melodic pleasant voice I could enjoy in animation. But what really got me here is NPH doing voice casting.
That man is the master of the spoken word. He could speak the alphabet and I would be amused by it. So despite this plot sounding like a ripoff Madagascar (domesticated animal returns to his wild origins?) I am looking forward to seeing how it shapes up!
Based on that great Duran Duran song perhaps?
No… the city.

Awesome.
btw, Rodrigo Santoro is possibly the most badass name on the planet.
