{Movie Review} Rio 2 featuring Janelle Monae Friday 11 April, 2014
Another movie review and this time it was an interactive Red Carpet for the biggest of kids for the movie Rio 2. Although I do not have children myself I enjoyed this festive movie screening celebration of eclectic singer, Janelle Monae’s animation debut of her song. Janelle Monae’s song “What is Love” from Atlantic Record’s RIO 2 soundtrack, is also the opening track for the entire movie, which really set the Caribbean mood with her vocals.
She is too adorable and in Monae “andriod” fashion she wears all black rocking Alejandra G multidimensonal Black & White stilettos. Too hawt!
Ludacris brought his pre-teen daughter, Karma, to the pre-screening of Rio 2
Celebs and local guests who also stopped by the carpet included Carlos Saldanha (director), Ludacris (actor/artist), Curtis Fields (musician), Todd Chrisley (“Chrisley Knows Best”), Matt Bryant (Atlanta Falcons), Meyrick Murphy (“Walking Dead”), Towanda Braxton (Reality TV Star), Chauncey Davis (former Atlanta Falcon),and Sanjay Gupta (CNN Reporter).
20th Century Fox hosted a special red carpet presentation of RIO 2 while bringing a taste of Brazil to Atlanta with Carnival dancers and band to celebrate Monae and the movie! Check the below footage for the snippet of the fun!

My daughters want to see this but I don’t know if they even saw the first one. They told me they did so I think their grandparents must have taken them.
Looks like a really fun time. Monae is so cute.
My kids love the first Rio and thought the second was just as adorable! So fun!
