Description
"There was fire...and so much smoke...""I had you under my wing and then you were... Gone"
-------------------
I missed drawing RIO fanart
This time is a rather sad pic featuring Eduardo (Jewel's father).When the loggers came to the jungle and set fire to the trees, all the spix macaws flew away, but with the dense smoke, Jewel wasn't able to follow his father and she got lost. Meanwhile, Eduardo didn't notice Jewel was missing until it was too late. Desperately, he searched for his daughter between the flames and ashes, the falling trees and the smoke, while he got some of his feathers burnt, risking his life with the hope of finding his daughter.
Since it was too dangerous, Eduardo had to quit only to return later, hoping he would find her alive - or dead. But his little daughter, his little jewel was gone, and it was the humans' fault.

Sorry, but what does "wowzer" mean? xD Thanks by the way

That scene with Jewel and Eduardo was probably the most emotional of the movie.

Aside from you know, Blu being emotionally destroyed at the soccer game and Jewel realizing what a horrible wife she was shortly afterwards.
But the true crowning moment is knowing that they never used that stupid cliche where the dad doesn't like the boyfriend simply
because he's dating his daughter and instead went for something meaningful and relevant.

Yeah, just seeing how Eduardo's expressions changes is... well...Β ;o;

This is deep, dramatic, powerful, and above all sensational! Splendid work, Rak, for providing us with a window in which to gaze at such a tragic event in Eduardo's past, not to mention Jewel's.
On that day his utter hatred for humans was born, and all because of Blu did he finally realize that some humans are worth caring about.

Thank you so much for your kind comment, bud!
I am planning of doing a few more images explaining how Eduardo and the spix macaws' tribe endured those dark times when they were chased off of their home, and how their rivalry with the scarlet macaws' tribe started ('cause I need to draw Felipe, he's so awesome >3< )
Yeah, actually Eduardo was almost right about fearing the humans. Most of the times, wild animals survive better if they stay away from us, though since Blu used to be a pet, it was logical that he tried to convince Eduardo that his point of view was biased.
For example, in Tiago, Carla and Bia's case is a bit dangerous, since they may think that all humans are kind like Linda and Tulio, and thus, they could be trapped away if a smuggler could gain their confidence or trick them.

I happily hand out praise to those who deserve it. You are one such person.
I very much agree with your comments about the nature of humans. There are no absolutes, and there are both moral and immoral people. It's easy to understand why Eduardo was unable to picture them as anything but evil creatures that burned the jungle to the ground, and even more insidious, stole his daughter and mate from him. No doubt he would have clung to his grudge until the very end.
In regards to Blu and Jewel's kids being fooled by supposedly honorable humans who are the very opposite, I must say that is a wonderful point. I never looked at it that way, to be honest. In fact, I just might make it a part of a future update of the story I'm writing, which takes place between Rio and Rio 2.

Thanks again, and I am glad I can inspire other people's works!
Actually, you made me remember a doumental I saw long ago: I think it was about eagles or falcons, I don't know. They were kept in captivity since their species were endagered, and they encouraged the adult ones to mate and have offspring. The little ones were fed by the humans too, but they never let the chicks see them, since they wanted to free all the birds when they were ready, and it would be better for the eagles if they didn't grow too comfortable around humans as they were supposed to live in the wild.
If you think about it, in the first film, when Tulio shows Linda his workplace, all the birds he has rescued came and greeted him. In real life, you are doing it wrong, Tulio xD Those birds were supposed to be set free after they had recovered from their injuries, but letting them get used to humans is actually very dangerous for their survival.
The whole plot of RIO was of Blu and Jewel getting along and mating in order to save their species from extinction. But then, in RIO 2 you discover that their children are so used to human's lifestyle that one can only wonder how they were supposed to go into the wild as adults xD I mean, when Jewel shows Blu the Brazil Nut, Tiago demonstrates that he doesn't need to know how to open one when he already has a can of (peeled) brazil nuts. DAMN TIAGO in the jungle you won't find any "cans", you are gonna die of hunger, stupid boy :/
So yeah, thanks god that Jewel has common sense and friendly reminded them that they are birds xD

sadly about jewel's mother she died in the fire, cause Eduardo just says."shes gone." when jewel asks about her mother :c
π: 0 β©: 2
I wonder what she looks like
π: 0 β©: 1
Well Ed says to jewel."you look just like your mother." so thats the only clue of what she looks.

I wonder when Blue Sky Studios releases the third Rio, Carlos Saldana confirmed there will be a third movie
π: 0 β©: 1
Its already confirmed, they are planning to what to do in the 3rd one. Eve Saldana said so he's not sure but he did say its in process.
π: 0 β©: 1
That movie going to be years away
π: 0 β©: 1
yup and a lot of work to do, maybe some new character might show up
π: 0 β©: 1
I hope it'll be Blu's parents or a new bird
π: 0 β©: 1
Blu's parents would be nice to see and know what happened to them.
π: 0 β©: 1
Me too I'd like to see them since I was asking myself what happened to them in the first film
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah but people are also telling me that they are dead
π: 0 β©: 1
IDk people assume that but as far the series is were not sure about blu's parents.
π: 0 β©: 1
I hope Saldana will come up with their backstory if they ever come forward or be lost forever
π: 0 β©: 1
I bet he'll add a flashback about his parents but then they don't show up
π: 0 β©: 1
But she says that in the movie? 
I don't remember if they even talk about her in the movie, just Ed saying that Jewel looks like her, so I am not sure, I haven't watched the second movie in a long time so I could be wrong
That's also why I didn't mention Ed's mate here, since I can't remember well... Damn, I need to watch the movie again, hehe
------
However it is indeed pretty sad... 
π: 0 β©: 1
I know that junior novel said that jewel asked about her mother and Ed just gave her a sad look and said."She didn't make it." assuming jewel's mother died while escaping the wild fire. :c I read that on the rio wiki about facts about jewel.
I watched the movie like 3x already and you right about that Ed doesn't mention about his wife but I not sure if shes really dead like they presume shes dead cause she never showed up or found the group or shes really dead.
I know it is sad I know a couple of movies that deal with mothers death a lot, why do the moms die or dads die like really :/
π: 0 β©: 1
I think its a way to show how that character has struggled all his life to achieve its aims. Its a way to show an infant characters coming of age, too. In RIO's case, for Blu is just because showing his parents alive wouldn't make sense with the actual plot of the movie (I think they are dead, but who knows... they could appear in the third film...). In Jewel's case, just like Blu, it helps to show how determinated and independent she is and gives her a sad backstory as to why she hates/hated humans in the first film.
π: 0 β©: 1
well I guess your right on that one, but if Blu's parents did show it would make sense in my opinion cause how else is Blu there, or how was brought into the world without his parents.But like you said they might've died, but I don't get how did he survived by himself at a young age or a chick.Think about it who took care of him?how did he eat? His parents gotta show up some time in the series even if one survives. But I get how jewel hates humans in the first film but she likes them cause Tulio helped her with her broken wing and in Rio 2 Ed got hit but a claw of a bulldozer or whatever you call it and again Tulio helped him and now he trusts humans.I could be nice to see Blu's parents still.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know how to express it in english, but lets try...
Not every character from every work has parents in the sense that they make an actual appearance in the series/books/movies. And this happens because it would be impossible to show every single characters' parents and / or showing them doesn't add anything to the actual plot. In The Lion King, Nala was going to have a little brother but he was deleted because adding that character only added more minutes to the film but not interesting information to the plot. The same goes with Spirit, stallion of the cimarron. His father never appears and its briefly mentioned one time.
When you choose the characters of a film, you just can't add loads and loads of characters if they don't do anything relevant, if they are going to be filler characters or background characters its better to remove them. Blu has parents, of course, but they aren't important to any of the plots of RIO and RIO2 so that's why I don't care, or I care just a bit, about them.
About Blu being a baby chick in the beginning of the film, I think its easy (for me) to figure what happened: his parents went to search for food before the whole "Real in Rio" sequence, and while they were absent, Blu was captured by smugglers and sent to the USA. What happened to them after that is something that remains unknown, but I think they died or maybe they were even captured by smugglers. I don't know exactly how do macaws take care of their children in real life, but in some birds species, both parents leave the nest while searching for food for their youngsters, leaving them alone. I am not sure if macaws do this, but since RIO isn't also a 100% loyal depiction of macaws, I think it could work.
More than making Blu's parents appear, it would be nice to know what could have happened to them, since Blu and his parents seemed like the only spix macaws living near Rio de Janeiro, and since Tulio was insterested in repopulate the spix macaws, it is a bit weird that he didn't investigate what happened to the spix macaws (loners or a colony) that could live near Rio.
I also find suspicious that Marcel knew about Blu and Jewel being the last of their kind, since Spix macaws seem like a species of macaws not many people knows of. I mean, until I read there actually existed spix macaws, I thought Blu and Jewel were invented macaws that did not exist in real life xD

You explained it really good, despite somethings I didn't know XD but yeah I know some characters didn't have parents at all or some did but I get it. I do agree with you that it'll expand the the roster or create more characters which means more work, more voice actors, and more time in the movie. I remember in 6th grade I did a project about macaws and at the age of 5 they are allowed have a mate or as i called it they reached adulthood.So I guess blu was on his own while his parents went off Β to get food and then got caught then sent somewhere else (I know you said it already cause I thought the same thing X3) but we don't know where they were sent.I care about his parents just as much I cared for jewel's parents but i didn't expect Roberto and aunt Mimi to show up? for me that was...unexpected, heres what I think for Blu, bring his mom and maybe, just maybe why not a sibling.I know that may be a little too much but hey I didn't expect Jewel's childhood friend nor her Aunt.I know the 2nd movie kinda ruined the series but When Rio 2 was coming out I expected that the story would go great and bringing a good plot but there were some weird things like how did the flock stayed there in that one spot when there was forest cutters cutting down trees and I read that Ed had to change places as they get closer to their area, so they move out until they were further away from harm. I agree with you if his parents did show up or one of them do (cause what if they do that.) then they'll explain what happened to them while they remained unknown. ( I know right why didn't Tuilo investigate what to rest of flock in the first one rather then in the 2nd one? It doesn't fit the plot as series should go.)

Haha, yeah, I must say that, since the first images of RIO2 leaked on the Web, I got very hyped about the movie and I read and watch every new trailer, image or website announcing it, so I knew Mimi and Roberto were going to appear. To be honest, I was quite disappointed with Mimi's role in the movie, because in the official website for RIO2, Mimi's bio make her like she could be an important character, being the only macaw that welcomed Blu and tried to make Eduardo understand that Jewel loved Blu and thus, he had to accept his son-in-law. However, in the actual movie, Mimi doesn't do anything like this; its true that she welcomes Blu with open arms, but she's just a filler character with a few funny lines that (sadly) is portrayed as the lunatic or crazy aunt. Her bio in the official website made her more interesting than she really was in the movie, an thats sad because, if she isn't useful for the plot, just get rid of her, but a character with a great potential ending as a filler one, is plain sad (and don't get me started with Blu's children xD )
On the other hand, I was glad to see Felipe, being an antagonist macaw from a species aside from spix, I think it was a nice change! and the whole rivalry between Scarlets and Spix seems really interesting for me. However, I admit that Felipe is also a (super) filler character. You could remove him and the movie would be the same. Blu would just screw another thing instead of the football match and make Jewel angry, and that's it.
About RIO2 being different from the first film. Oh yeah. The first thing was the whole "we are the last of our kind", and then, suddenly "Oh look there are more like us".... Nah, you ruined it! Even if it was sad thinking of Blu and Jewel being the last spix macaws, it also made them special. Creating an entire flock in the second film erased that. Everytime it is stated in any media that a character is the last of his/her kind, he's probably not. My next bet is that Toothless, from HTTYD, isn't the last Night Fury out there xD
However, when I saw the first trailers of RIO2, I thought it could be interesting to see how would Blu adapt to his new life in the jungle, and probably with the flock. Then new trailers added the "My long-lost dad is alive!" and kinda ruined it again, making Jewel incredibly selfish in the sequel - I mean, I love her, but in RIO2 she's oblivious about his father's rudeness towards her MATE and the FATHER of their chicks, and she even dares to tell Blu that he should "stop thinking about you, and start thinking about us", like, hell, that's what Blu was doing from the beginning of the film!
Okay, sorry for the rant xD Back to the point.
If I don't remember bad, Eddie said that the flock was pushed by the loggers deeper and deeper within the Amazon, and the Amazon isn't fully explored, so it could be possible for an entire flock of macaws to live without the humans noticing. Actually, it is true that loggers in real life work in the deepest areas of the Amazon so it won't be easy to find and stop them. However, being Tulio an ornithologist interested in repopulate the spix, he should have known in which areas of Brazil the spix could live and what made them left those areas etc. I mean, even if he thought that Jewel and Blu were the last spix macaws, I find it a bit weird he didn't research other places were wild spix macaws "used" to live and try to understand what made them disappear or move on.

when first came out I thought, I KNEW IT they were gonna bring Nigel back and my guess was right for a sequel. For Rio 2 I was shocked how Roberto and Aunt Mimi and Ed were in the movie then I was like, whoa wait a minute how the heck are there more of them I thought Blu and Jewel and their kids were the last ones.What really shocked me was when Jewel was like "Daddy!" I just gasped and then thought wait a minute it could be Nigel being undercover as a blue spix macaw, cause I was like."Dammit jewel your gonna fall for that! Come on!" cause Blu was like "daddy?!?" Then as the trailer came by I saw Nigel and then I was confused and then thought again."wait if Nigel isn't pretending as blue macaw, then...What the heck that messed up but cute still." cause then again I love unexpected stuff
I thought that same thing, I was like "Oh! lets see how well you survive in the amazon blu, I wanna see how good can protect Β jewel and your kids." ( I know it might sound a little harsh but I thought that was gonna happen but I was wrong until I saw or I HEARD Bia say," Actually they found us." I'm like who are they?) then I saw more blu macaws at first I was happy and disappointed at the same time but I was like."hey why not lets see how this turns out." It was good as the movie went on but then again I loved Rio 2 the songs are good. I even downloaded them on my pc to hear them while I do my homework.Β
yeah I do agree with you about Jewel, I love her but she was...an ahole with blu in the movie in the begging shes sweet and caring but I get why she is like that. 1. she loved her dad as much as blu 2. She'll do anything for her dad and Blu as well but she'll do Father and daughter kind of relationship with Ed. 3. She hasn't seen him in years I see how I would feel if I hadn't seen my parents for like years. Then again I love her but shes wasn't as nice as I thought but overall she was a good character at middle of the movie I really HOPE they do better in Rio 3 better then 2nd one. I know when she said that I was like."come jewel really...could you say that at a different time...cause Β that wasn't helpful at all." I'm wish she would understand blu more then putting him down while he loved her as she sometimes ignores him like where jewel was like." this changes every thing." then Blue was like." this changes what? jewel? Jewel?" no response from her as she FAKES sleeping i guess.
And yeah you see I was right about it but I knew Ed would escape and stuff. but hey I wasn't 100% right wasn't I XD still I love Rio and Rio 2 but there was ups and downs.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry but I don't remember reading anywhere that Roberto (because when you wrote "Alberto" you meant Roberto, right?) wanted Jewel as a girlfriend. As long as I know, Roberto and Jewel used to be childhood friends, and because of that, both of them are glad of being together again when Jewel and Blu find the blue macaws tribe. Roberto wasn't interested in Jewel as a lover, if they movie ever makes it look like that, its because the movie is from Blu's POV and he was jealous and afarid of Roberto and Jewel getting too close, but it was all in Blu's mind. Roberto never wanted Jewel as her mate.
About Roberto's official bio in the RIO 2's webpage: "Jewel's childhood friend and the son Eduardo never had, Roberto is the Fabio of blue Macaws β a confident charismatic bird in every way, and the exact opposite of Blu. It seems as though there's nothing Roberto can't do. With an impressive wing span, he sings, dances and makes all the females swoon, making Blu feel incredibly inadequate."
So, wherever you read that Roberto wanted Jewel as her mate, is probably false, since all the official webs state Roberto and Jewel as friends and nothing more. About nobody in the tribe remembring Blu, actually in RIO, during the scene "Real in Rio", Blu is the only blue macaw we saw -8together with his parents that where probably off-screen), so I don't think they were part of any tribe, less of Eduardo's tribe. That's why nobody remembers Blu, because none of those macaws know him, he and his parents weren't part of any tribe, I think.
The soudntrack of RIO 2 is great, but the plot is worse than that of RIO. There are too many sub-plots (Blu and Jewel, Linda and Tulio, Nigel's revenge, the loggers, Eduardo's prolems with Blu, Carla and the Amazon Untamed), too many characters and its kind of distracting.
About Jewel, of course she loved her father, but that's not excuse to treat Blu like shit. Everything Blu ever does, is to make Jewel happy. Blu was relucntant about going to the Amazon, but accepted because she wanted to. Blu tried to fit in when nobody really cared about him. All the macaws were hyped about Jewel and her children, but nobody was like "oh whoa, so you are the one who helped Jewel? And how did you survive, etc?", when Jewel decided that they should stay in the Amazon, she didn't even ask Blu, 'cause even if she loves her father and wanted to stay with him, Blu was discomfort in the tribe and in the Amazon, and in marriage there are 2 persons, but Jewel decide it alone.
So I was really upset when she spoke of Blu like if he was selfish and didn't care about their happiness. Because Blu ALWAYS put Jewel's happiness first,even if that made him feel lonely or sad because he wasn't accepted by the others.
The only reason I can find to justify that attitude, is that Jewel was afraid of losing both her father and husband + she wanted Blu to feel guilty and wanted to hurt him. Then with the ultimatum she could see if Blu chose her or Linda (and of course, even after the argument, Blu STILL chose Jewel).

Yeah I mean Roberto, sorry I always mix up Alberto and Roberto. So yeah I might've been fooled but I swear I read that off his Bio, I know Β Both Roberto and Jewel were childhood friends but still I have no problem with that but just like you said Blu might've thought that Roberto was doing that to Jewel, I felt the same way when I saw Roberto singing, dancing,with Jewel I felt Blu pain XD welp I was wrong about Roberto then, I don't hate him but I don't what Blue sky did to him sure now I know hes a just a friend to Blu and Jewel but really surprises me is that Tiago says "uncle Beto" and Blu is like "Uncle Beto?!?" I laughed at that really it is funny XD I don't hate the guy but really Roberto is cool and awesome with his badass hairstyle.Β
In real Rio I never saw his parents, if you did you must have good eyes or a good guess I must say.I was guess his parents might've been in the tribe but bummer I thought it would be nice to see them
Its funny not even a single macaw even congratulated him for saving Eds daughter, plus Ed should've gave a celebration for Jewels return, and Blue saving her while Both blu and jewel have kids.Cause why not that could have been awesome celebrating with the return of Jewel and the rescue thanks to Blu.Sometimes Rio 2 doesn't feel amazing as Rio.But I do love the songs my favorite was in the begging of the moive called."what is love." man that songs is awesome
I can see that where she doesn't want to lose Blu of her father but hey she has both.What would be nice in Rio 3 if Roberto found a mate for himself, then maybe Blu and jewel could hang out with Him and his mate if it happens, come on Roberto deserves to have one do you think so? I know again more work and characters but come on Roberto does attract girl doesn't he?
( I know right Jewel should feel happy that Blu does anything for her even choosing either her or his owner who took care of him for 15 years.) I just wish Jewel attitude could be better in the 3rd one, just hoping she'll be nice towards him and everyone else. Also she did protect him from her father (she didn't know until she took a look) as blu fell and she yelled "HEY WATCH IT" and then realizes it was her lost daddy.She DID something to protect him, I know in the begging of the movie she was loving towards him and caring but Blu cares for her, what is jewel gonna feel if Blu dies, I thought he died from that blast of Dynamite but he survived and I saw her face and she gasped as the it blew up and Blu came towards her after he recovered quickly I might add but still I care for Blu,Jewel,Bia,Carla,Tiago,Roberto,Ed,Rafael,Nico,Pedaro and Philippe.(course that guy is funny and mean at the same time.) but I know carla and her amazon untamed was boring but I did like it a little bit cause it did remind of carnival, but then again I get bored when I get to that part.
