Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Alan Jones

In a more-is-less sequel overflowing with songs and slapstick, Jewel (voiced by Anne Hathaway), who's thrilled not to be endangered any more after her exploits in Rio, convinces her city slicker beau Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) to rediscover their rainforest roots when a flock of blue macaws is discovered deep in the Amazon. Pushing its ecological message harder than before - the birds must defend their habitat against illegal loggers - it's the same mix of colourfully frantic action, sharp sight gags and catchy musical numbers. The best new character is toxic frog Gabi whose aria Poisonous Love is the highlight (thanks to Broadway star Kristen Chenoweth performing with real showbiz pizzazz). Elsewhere Jemaine Clement, returning as spiteful cockatoo Nigel, brings hilarious verve to a samba rap version of I Will Survive and many will enjoy The X Factor-style jungle auditions. However, others may find everything just a little overbearing.
