Animated South American birds are all the rage in the East.

This weekend, the people of India proved their love of family friendly animation by helping “Rio 2“ rank as the third most popular Hollywood movie to open in the country.

According to Bollywood Life, youngsters adored the characters almost as much as Ice Age 4. Rio 2 raked in enough dough to place second behind the Ice film as the most popular animated film of all time.
