You spend your days dancing in the forest without a care in the world... until one fateful day when youre captured, put in a cage, and introduced to some dork from Minnesota who cant even fly(let alone do the samba). Thats the pickle Jewel faces Sky Studios hit movie Rio, a story about freedom, love, and slobbering bulldogs.Known as the Gem of the Forest, Jewel may look like a perfect, innocent little thing, but shes really a sassy little Spix's Macaw under all those shiny cerulean feathers. Little would she know her fiery personality perfectly complemented that of the more (literally) grounded Blu. Jewel would never accept life in a cage, and was horrified to find herself shackled to some fuddy duddy domesticated bird (who had a human friend no less)! Still, over the course of their adventure together, Jewel learned to love the only other member of her species... and even to trust a human or two.Fun DetailsNow, here's the truly great part of the story: if youre as taken with Jewel as we are, our officially licensed Jewel costume from theRio series is sure to knock you off your perch.
