Not long after Blu and his owner/best friend Linda arrive in Rio, Blu and Jewel are kidnapped by a group of bungling animal smugglers, and with the help of a group of wise-cracking and smooth-talking city birds, Blu will have to learn to fly, escape the kidnappers, and return to Linda, the best friend a bird ever had.Dunkin’® K-Cup portion packs (Photo: Business Wire)
