Austin, the story follows "a nerdy macaw who leaves the comforts of his cage in small town Minnesota and heads to Rio de Janeiro.

The first two minutes features an elaborate musical dancing sequence, which is sure to look amazing in 3D. Watch it now embedded after the jump.

Official Plot Synopsis:

'Rio' is a 3-D animation feature from the makers of the 'Ice Age' films. Set in the magnificent city of Rio de Janeiro and the lush rainforest of Brazil, the comedy-adventure centers on Blu, a rare macaw who thinks he is the last of his kind. When Blu discovers there's another — and that she's a she — he leaves the comforts of his cage in small town Minnesota and heads to Rio. But it's far from love at first sight between the domesticated and flight-challenged Blu and the fiercely independent, high-flying female, Jewel. Unexpectedly thrown together, they embark on an adventure of a lifetime, where they learn about friendship, love, courage, and being open to life's many wonders. 'Rio' brings together a menagerie of vivid characters, a heart-warming story, colorful backdrops, energizing Latin and contemporary music, and family-friendly song and dance.

John Powell is scoring the film with contributions of Bossa Nova master musician Sergio Mendes and Will.i.am (Black Eyed Peas).

Rio hits theaters on April 15th 2011.
