International Rio Trailer
A new international trailer for 3-D animation feature Rio has come out online.
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.
Ice Age Director to Adapt The Story of Ferdinand
We were wondering what children’s book adaptation comes next. Well, guess what, it’s going to be “the fabulous” Ferdinand, or if you prefer – the adaptation of 1936 children’s book The Story of Ferdinand that will be directed by Ice Age franchise director Carlos Saldanha.
In 3D of course. No, wait, it’s going to be “CGI featured film”!
Author Munro Leaf and illustrator Robert Lawson are responsible for a simple story that follows a bull whose only desire in life is to smell flowers and refuses to fight when placed in a bullfighting arena.
And ok, it’s published more than 50 years ago, but it still remains one of the bestselling children’s books of all time.

“Ice Age 3″ Images
Check out the new hi-res images for “Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.”
The sequel begins amidst a blizzard. Scrat is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut (while, maybe, finding true love); Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth, Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some dinosaur eggs; and Diego the saber-toothed tiger wonders if he’s growing too “soft” hanging with his pals. On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna run amuck – and meet a relentless, one-eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck…
ICE AGE 3 Trailer No2
Second trailer for the upcoming “Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” has appeared online.
The movie “Ice Age 3″ begins amidst a blizzard. Scrat is trying to get through it, when he notices his acorn. During his struggles to reach it, he is engulfed in snow and frozen. He manages to pop open his eyes, using them to lean himself toward the acorn. He successfully pulls it out, releasing warm gasses from beneath the ice, which thaws Scrat. Feeling around with his foot, he discovers he has made a large hole in the ice, and falls through. After hitting a few trees, he slides down to the tip of a something – a deformed tree trunk? – losing his acorn. Just as he finishes his slide, Scrat comes face to face with a Tyrannosaurus rex. The T-Rex roars at Scrat and we next see Scrat inside the dinosaur’s mouth twitching his eyes.
