7. That if you make it in 3D and add lots of pretty colours, people will think it's a great film no matter how humdrum the 'storyline'. No, wait. We learnt that from Avatar didn't we?

8. Spanish ornithologists will randomly happen upon a Minnesotan bookstore and find the rare bird that they've been looking for.

I have corrected it. Happy?
This situation reminds me of an Argentine acquaintence of mine. She used to think that the entire African continent spoke one language (in particular, "language of tongue-clicks") and asked me about them.
Nice to know that the Portuguese in South America go through the same $#!+ when it comes to spanish.
also he didn't just happenned to be in Minnesota. He already knew that Blu was owned by Linda before hew left Brazil

10. That you might be greeted in Portuguese in Brazil, but you can mumble something in English, and they'll automatically speak to you in English with a perfect American accent.
11. That Number 10 happens rarely, as most of the birds and people in Rio de Janeiro just speak American English anyway.
12. That while Blu cannot talk to humans and be understood, animals of all species, whether Macaw, Toucan, Canary, or Bullbog, can communicate verbally to each other with ease.
13. That there are such things as bird Soap Operas, and that their former stars, when they retire, turn on their own kind and aid bird poachers.

And you say this based on... what? Cause that's not true at all.
LOL
I'm sorry, thetrueoppo, my bad! I understood the thread perfectly. The thing is that I haven't paid attention to the number "18" before your answear. So it seemed to me as you were saying it seriously.
I guess I'm working too much. Need some serious rest. :)

So it seemed to me as you were saying it seriously.
All clear, let's continue.
19. I've learned that there's no control over which floats go through the avenue during a carnival parade. You can have a freaky float and cross the whole thing unnoticed.
20. I've learned that macaws can learn dog tricks.

When Blu is first brought into the cage with Jewel, she tells him to play dead.
28. Saliva can hang on a dog like hair.
26. Americans think Brazilian = Mexican, so it makes complete sense that George Lopez should voice a bird from Brazil.
share27. Men are always clumsy idiots, cunning bastards, or double faced "honorary women"; no exception. No such thing as glorious, honorable or graceful men. Thanks Rio for further hammering this fcktwad idiotic propaganda into our head and our kids head. Go go feminism!

28) Although Blu is the least seen bird in the games, he is the most popular and stars in his own movie...
29) Although the red bird is the most often seen and used bird in the game, he will play 2nd/3rd fiddle to Blu...
30) If it's a romance movie, no matter what and without fail, the 2 love interests will find a way to argue with each other halfway to three quarters into the movie and split up...
31) The last quarter of the movie will be the male love interest finding and rescuing his gal, and along the way he will conquer a life long issue right when it matters most...sheesh...
32) Give the white actor the character who lost touch and is totally happy living a comfortable life...and unable to dance...
33) All the black actors should ALWAYS portray the characters who are smooth talking, street smart, hip hopin, dancin, singin, "Imma show yoo how ta get tha ladies, yo" types...and they just so happen to never actually be in the presence of a female...
34) A book store owner from Minnesota can find herself in the middle of the most popular parade in Rio on top of the most decked out float and she will be able to impress everyone in the crowd to thunderous cheers...cute scene tho...
35) Birds can survive being pulled through an airplane impeller...funny scene tho...
36) The authorities are more concerned with the lowlife poor people who are capturing birds instead of the wealthy individuals who hire the lowlifes and are willing to pay millions for endangered species...because the millionaires won't just go find somebody else to catch the birds, they'll give up once the lowlifes are captured and locked up...
37) A boy can operate a motorcycle even though his legs are not long enough for his feet to operate the shifter and the rear brake...

40) Birds have night clubs that are at peak capacity in the middle of the afternoon...
41) A dance as complicated as the samba does not take any special training or years of practice to master...just remember yourself shaking your booty as a kid and all the moves will come to you...
42) Nothing you say makes any sense, haha!!
43) Chocolate is not toxic to Macaws and will not kill them. I'm surprised she did not make him some guacamole too since Avocados aren't toxic to birds either. Wait...
44) Everyone in Rio becomes an idiot during Carnival and the fatter Brazilians all have a penchant for speedos.
45) The 80 something other Spix Macaws in captivity around the world do not count apparently...
46) The bad guys are always going to be the darker skinned minorities while the good guys are either white or light skinned minorities.
47) Pulling the pin on a fire extinguiser discharges the agent even if you don't squeeze the handle.
48) Thugs too stupid to do anything on their own are perfectly capable of flying a twin engine aircraft.
49) All hang gliders will always be perfectly spaced in line to break your fall should you jump off a cliff in Rio.
50) Saving the species with only 1 breeding pair of animals is feasible despite inbreeding and genetic diseases.
51) Everyone in a country where Portuguese is the native language will speak English first no questions asked (except Jewel for no good reason and I'm not even sure if that was Portuguese or Spanish...)
Yes I know this was a kids' movie but to me it comes off as very negative to Brazilians not to mention the first time I watched it with my kid I almost had a heart attack when I saw Linda give Blu hot chocolate which is = to giving a human a cup of poison to drink. I really hope no kids in families with birds tried to give their pet bird chocolate after watching this movie and I feel it was VERY irresponsible on the film makers' part to do something that stupid. We have multiple birds and I made sure to tell my daughter like 100x to NEVER give any of them chocolate. Heck, we don't even keep chocolate in the house for fear of a kid or family member not knowing and trying to give our birds a "treat"...
52) One electricity pole knocks out power for whole of Rio
53) british/english = evil (even though he is from NZ why british? lol)

57) There is no such thing as a black stereotype (rapping and talking ghetto)
58) Monkeys speak perfect english but will text "Aaa, Eii"
59) All fat guys in Rio look exactly alike
60) Bulldogs sometimes think about chasing and killing birds
61) All you have to do is speak bird language to get in the parade
62) Birds can have sweaty armpits
63) Love is deaf
64) The casting director needs to get another job considering the voices were terrible and mismatched
65) "PET" is a derogatory term for birds
AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY (I HOPE SO) NOT THE LEAST....
66) This movie must not be good considering its been nearly 6 months (since thread opened) and we still havent learnt 100 things from this movie
67) If you find a box that has fallen off of a delivery truck on the side of the road don't try to return it or find its rightful owner, just steal it!
share68) a species of Bird(cockatoo) will magically ignore millions of years of evolution and start eating meat
Oh GOOD!,my dog found the chainsaw
69) The cocky husband being scared of his wife joke is still unfunny the 1458th time it's been show in movies
70) Calling a monkey "monkey man" makes total sense (but seriously, the monkeys were the best thing in this mediocre movie, so why didn't they get more screen time?)
71) Monkeys know how to steal a person's Twitter account and use their own face as their avatar on strangers' smartphones
72) Having a bird fly into a single transformer on a telephone pole will blackout an entire city of 6 million people
73) Brazilian culture is best communicated to children by a festival that's the American equivalent of Mardi Gras, except with more nudity and bird costumes
51) Everyone in a country where Portuguese is the native language will speak English first no questions asked (except Jewel for no good reason and I'm not even sure if that was Portuguese or Spanish...)
She did speak in Portuguese. Actually all of the Portuguese in the movie was pretty good. From memory, I believe she asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?".

59. When fighting annoying little monkeys, the said bottlecap can also make the most perfect boomerang.
60. Birds of all sizes know how to samba.
61. For a monkey, a watch makes the perfect belt.
62. Monkeys and cockatiels work together to try and steal the blue macaws.

Oh GOOD!,my dog found the chainsaw
Most irritating: Nigel hit a transformer and hole city goes blackout WTF!?
share64. Singing, Angelic-Looking Women will knock you down and it will hurt.
