Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
< Rio


  • Pedro and Nico matchmaking between Blu and Jewel, and giving tips to Blu when they first appear.
  • Nico's nonverbal snark, making a slide-whistle-crash sound effect when Jewel ends up having to save Blu from choking on a flower petal.
  • Rafael taking care of 17 children (plus one on the way) never gets old.

Rafael: Hey! He is not a maraca, stop shaking him!

Jewel: Wow. I guess love is deaf, too.

Jewel: Stop twitching!
Blu: But it's the twitching that sells it...

    • I'm surprised no one's mentioned the spider.

Blu: Is that a spider on my back?!
Jewel: Will you quit it?! It's just a leaf! Turn around!
(Blu turns to reveal a huge leaf spider on his back)
Jewel: ... *flick* Leaf! Told you.

    • I'm surprised no one's mentioned Blu trying to kiss Jewel. Their faces -oh gawd, their faces- were hilarious. Gold.
  • Tulio failing to ride a motorbike. Followed by Linda cruising effortlessly through the streets of Rio on said motorbike.
    • Their performance to get past the guard at the carnival.
    • Tulio's face right after he says: "Act naturally."
    • Tulio sliding into the large prop mirror in a Macaw costume.
  • Linda and Blu's morning routine.
  • Fernando trading Tulio's jeep for a motorcycle.
    • "It's in great condition!" (hit a car, the rear mirror gone) "Well, good condition!"
    • ...and of course, how Linda and Tulio look after the motorcycle ride.
  • Horrified Linda: "NOOO!! We don't shake our tooshies in Minnesota!!"
  • This exchange:

Tulio: "No, no, Linda...Linda, please! This is not your fault."
Linda: *sniffles* "You're right. It's not my fault...it's YOUR fault!" *points accusingly at Tulio and has him backing away* "With your little bird talk, and that whole [mocks his accent] save the species!"

  • Marcel hiding in embarrassment as the crowd boos and hisses at their float.
  • Every sound Tulio makes that isn't a word.
    • His weird squawking right in front of the float's muffler.
  • Linda: I am looking for a bluebird...b-birdo?
    • Which of course if followed by her ending up on the float, causing a famous scene above (see Horrified Linda).
  • Jewel's initial reaction to the appearance of the toucan babies

Jewel: Be careful Blu! Dey might snuggle you to def!

    • And then of course the toucans attack, and that's just as funny.
  • Over the past few minutes, Blu has panicked when trying to fly and fallen off a mountain with Jewel, just barely landing on a hang glider. Getting too excited by the flying, he spread his wings and sent them falling down onto another hang glider, which gets torn; they land on a beach, get bounced around on a beach ball, crash into a tree and almost get hit by bicycles and cars. When Blu finally gets onto the flatbed of a truck, he has this to say:

Blu: I would like to go five minutes without almost getting killed. Is that too much to ask?
Jewel: For a bird who can't fly? Oh, yeah.

  • To Linda and Tulio's eyes, playing Lionel Richie helped Blu immediately hit it off with Jewel. In actuality, she was trying to strangle him.

Linda: Wow-- that was fast!

Tulio: Lionel Richie-- works every time.

  • Nigel crashing into the power box while chasing Blu and Jewel, blacking out the city and ruining the game. It was a hoot!
  • Marcel's Kick the Dog moment can come off as this. When asked if they can keep Fernando, Marcel pauses for a moment before saying "No." and quickly slamming the door in Fernando's face.
