What a lovely idea it is, that there could be a whole flock of blue macaws hidden away in safety in the Amazon jungle. Currently, the rare arara-azul is mostly spotted in Pantanal, and back in the early 2000's, there was major concern they were down to the last specimens! Documentaries were produced to alert adults, books and plays for children were mandatory in schools (some Brazilians may remember fondly of Angelo Machado's book "O Casamento da Ararinha Azul"), and the preservation of this wonderful species moved us in a very special way.
So I think this is a nice addition to this effort, and also a great way to once more bring the topic of preservation and the illegal and dangerous exploration of Amazon to the attention of kids, as the macaw and the jungles of Brazil are far from being safe! Aside from that, the movie is light hearted and fun, and displays several species that are special to Brazil and our culture, and I can definitely appreciate this movie as an educational resource. I am only sorry that I decided to watch it so long after its release. It would have been useful while I was still a teacher :)
