Rio 3 Carnival of the Wild 2026
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx, will.i.am, and Bruno Mars
The infectious rhythm is calling them back home. Rio 3 Carnival of the Wild spreads its vibrant wings to deliver the most colorful and energetic adventure of the franchise yet. Several years have passed since Blu, voiced by Jesse Eisenberg, and Jewel, voiced by Anne Hathaway, settled deep within the Amazon rainforest to raise their family away from human interference. However, they now face a new and relatable parenting challenge their children have grown into independent teens who are eager to explore the world beyond the dense jungle canopy. The peace of their sanctuary is suddenly shattered when a mysterious and rapid ecological threat begins to endanger their habitat, forcing the Spixs Macaw family to leave the wild and return to the chaotic concrete jungle where their story began Rio de Janeiro.
Jesse Eisenberg returns to voice the lovable and neurotic Blu, who faces his ultimate test as a father and a leader. He must finally find the perfect balance between his intellectual, domesticated roots and his newfound wild instincts to guide the flock through a dangerous urban landscape. Anne Hathaway brings fierce energy and emotional depth to Jewel, who struggles with the difficult reality of letting her children fly on their own. They are not alone in this journey, as the fan-favorite party crew Nico, Pedro, and Rafael return with fresh beats and hilarious antics, turning their dangerous rescue mission into a non-stop musical extravaganza.
However, the Rio de Janeiro they return to has changed drastically. A ruthless and high-tech villain has emerged, running a sophisticated operation that captures rare exotic birds not for traditional cages, but to digitize them into a soulless metaverse zoo for elite virtual collectors. To save their species from becoming mere digital assets, Blu and his family must team up with a host of unlikely allies, including old friends and new urban legends. Together, they devise a daring plan to turn the upcoming Carnival festivities into a grand stage for a rescue mission.
Exploding with infectious Samba rhythms, breathtaking animation, and a heartwarming message about the enduring power of family and the preservation of nature, Rio 3 is a soaring celebration of life itself. It is time to shake your tail feathers one last time because the wild is coming to the city to reclaim the rhythm.
