Meet the artists one-on-one as they share rare behind the scenes stories and sign copies of the new Art of Rio 2 book!

Rio 2 is an upcoming 3D computer-animated musical adventure from Blue Sky Studios, and the sequal to the acclaimed film, Rio. It's a jungle out there for Blu, Jewel and their three kids in Rio 2, after they're hurtled from a magical city to the wilds of the Amazon. When the family leaves their domesticated life in the city of Rio de Janeiro for a journey to the rainforest, they encounter a menagerie of characters that are born to be wild! Upon arrival, the family comes across Jewel's long-lost father, in hiding with a group of other Macaws. But things get worse when they realize that their Amazonian habitat is under threat and that Blu and Jewel's old nemesis Nigel the Cockatoo is back for revenge!
