Brazilian director Carlos Saldanha has been promoting his new film "Rio 2" in China.

In an exclusive interview with China Radio International on Monday, Saldanha said Charlie Chaplin provided the greatest source of inspiration for him when he was developing his artistic sense as a child. He said, "I grew up with a lot of animations, especially the Disney movies back in the day, with classics of course, like Dumbo, Bambi, Pinocchio, but also with TV, Tom and Jerry. I love Tom and Jerry. And also the biggest inspiration from my childhood was watching Charlie Chaplin movies. And I loved watching those black and white movies with no dialogue, just with action and fun. You know acting of those iconic masters of cinema."

The 3D computer-animated 'Rio 2' features the returning voices of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Will.i.am and Jamie Foxx.

It is now in theaters across China.
