RiOa

This segment is a crossover between Rio and Green Lantern.

This segment is from the episode RiOa / Thomas the Unstoppable Tank Engine.

Plot
The scene starts with Blu walking on the beach. He says that his girlfriend has been kidnapped and he is the only bird in Rio that can't fly. But after he sees Alfred E. Neuman fly in the background, he says he is the only thing in Rio that can't fly. Just then, he thinks he sees a shooting star and wishes to fly. However, it turns out it is Abin Sur on his mission to give Hal Jordan the ring. But then Blu hits him with a shovel because he needs the ring more than he does. He grabs the ring and it takes him all the way to Oa. There, a machine gives him a green suit and the Guardians of the Universe welcome him as Hal Jordan but then find out he is a bird, or as Blu would say, a macaw. They say the ring would never choose a bird, but Tomar-Re says he resents that. The Guardians of the Universe also say that the ring is reserved for important purposes and Blu says that flying is important. So he breaks the gumball machine that holds all the rings and says to seek out all the birds who can't fly. The first ring goes to Sesame Street where Big Bird gets the ring and Kermit gets upset because he is supposed to be the green one. The next ring lands in the park where Mordecai and Rigby (Regular Show) are. They say with the ring they will go to "Ooooooooa". However, Mordecai goes and Rigby says that the ring carries one person at a time. So he waits. The third ring goes to the desert where Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote are. Yet another ring lands in bird seed and Road Runner eats it and flies away, leaving an anvil to land on Wile E. Coyote. The flightless birds meet up with Blu, who says he summoned everyone to create a new Green Lantern caw (core). He also tells them to give the oath which was "In brightest day in blackest night, Despite our shape, our size, our height. We're birds who walk, which isn't right. But starting now we will take flight." and they fly away. Meanwhile, Rigby is still waiting for Mordecai to take him to Oa. The flightless birds go to Shady's Warehouse where Nigel is keeping Jewel in a cage. Blu asks Mumble what he can do with the ring but instead he dances. But he uses the ring to create a shoe that almost squashes Nigel. He ran away but was squished by Big Bird's power (which was Oscar the Grouch with two garbage lids.) Just then, Marcel comes in and sees the destruction and says that the ring doesn't work on yellow and he zips up his yellow jacket. So Mordecai punches Marcel and says, "Hmm hmm". Blu uses the ring to create a key and unlocks the cage holding Jewel. And Jewel says the ring could do anything and Blu said no kidding and he says "How else do you think a movie like Rio made so much money?" and he pops up lots of $20 dollar bills which cover the screen and end the segment.
