It is well known that since the Industrial Revolution the world has suffered environmental problems as a result of unbridled urbanization that provokes social exclusion, displacing the rural population from the countryside to the city, deforesting and replacing men with machines. In this way, it becomes fundamental to understand the socioenvironmental contexts that permeate our society as well as to promote the awakening of a critical conscience that makes it possible to transform the realities around us. In this sense, the objective of this work is to analyze, critically, the possibilities of approaches of environmental education from the film Rio (2011) regarding the Brazilian environmental reality. The film is an animation based on the adventures of a pair of blue macaws and discusses biopiracy, the extinction of species preservation and care for the environment. For this purpose, selections of scenes were made which enabled a discussion about the possibilities of environmental education approaches in a critical way. It was possible to notice that Rio Film presents the predominance of a conservationist view of environmental education, requiring a more social analysis of the film to construct a critical view of environmental education since this vision has the role of understanding the environment in its entirety including reflections on the political, economic, ethical, cultural and social issues surrounding the environment. At the same time, such an analysis does not impair the use of the Rio film in the teaching of environmental education, and may increase the possibilities of approaches in a more critical perspective.
