Summary: A Sweet Adventure
Review: This is a forgotten Disney film, of its modern era...in the sense that it's not as "remembered" as others, like Beauty and the Beast or The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, et cetera...but it's a wonderful adventure, brimming with action, romance...and everything else. The animation is beautiful (flying with the great golden eagle, the Australian Outback), and it moves at a brisk pace (but never feels empty). The two mice, Bernard and Miss Bianca, are back from the original Rescuers, but I think this one is better. If you love Disney (or animation), this is a charming film.

Summary: Great VHS. Beautiful DVD
Review: Well, Welllllllllll, Bernard and Bianca are back and this time their goin' Down Under, literally! I must say, I have seen the VHS version of this film a million times AND IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER EVERY TIME I WATCH IT!!! My little brother watched it with me and for some reason, he didn't seem to like it too well. But I tought it was magnificent! Anyway i just recently recieved the DVD edition and was amazed by how cool the animation looked compared to the VHS-INCREDIBLE-I might have seen some good Disney sequels latley, but, if i were to describe which one is the best, THIS IS IT!!! Down Under has a whole array of intresting characters, but my top 3 favs include:
1. Jake: because when it comes to traveling in the outback, Jake's da' man/mouse.
2. McLeach: I nominate the evil poacher as the greatest villain of any disney classic. Better than Sher Khan, Captain Hook and Jafar combined.
3. Miss Bianca: Cause she's just down right sexy!!!
Wilbur (the blabber-beak albatross) was also a funny character. Oh and Cody (the Australian kid) was just as cute as he could be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Disney should start making more sequals like this
Review: Over the last decade Disney has made several sequals. Most have premired on video and have been less then perfect. ... The original Rescuers was just okay. Its animation was not that good and the music was downright awful. Still it had a nice charm. In the sequal a Australian boy named Coty finds a giant eagle named Marhoty. Cody rides on her in several septacular anited sequences. He is then kidnapped by a pocher who wants to know how to find Marhoty and her nest. Bernard and Beonca fly on Australia on Wilbur, the cousin of Orival who provides comic relief, to rescue Cody. An action packed advenure goes on Austrlia that shows the beauty of the Australian wildderness. Most minor charactors from the first film do not return to give this film an original look. This is how sequals are suppose to be with a full theatrical effort and stunning animation. All of disneys Direct to video sequals have inferior animation and story to orginals. Disney a sequal is suppose to continue the orginal movie not make money off it. All sequals should be like The Rescuers Down Under. I give this four stars because the DVD has no extras and has only 4 channels of sound instead of 5.1. Still the anamorphic widescreen video is top notch and I recomend this DVD.

Summary: Disney should start making more sequals like this
Review: Over the last decade Disney has made several sequals. Most have premired on video and have been less then perfect. While some like Return of Jafar have been pretty good others like Simbas pride have been downright awful. Only two sequals surpassed there original films. Those films are Toy Story 2 and The Rescuers Down Under. The original Rescuers was just okay. Its animation was not that good and the music was downright awful. Still it had a nice charm. In the sequal a Australian boy named Coty finds a giant eagle named Marhoty. Cody rides on her in several septacular anited sequences. He is then kidnapped by a pocher who wants to know how to find Marhoty and her nest. Bernard and Beonca fly on Australia on Wilbur, the cousin of Orival who provides comic relief, to rescue Cody.

Summary: Disney's Greatest Animated Adventure Classic!
Review: Disney's 29th animated feature "The Rescuers Down Under" is the follow up to Disney's 23rd animated feature "The Rescuers". It was also the first official sequel to a Disney animated feature. And we're not talking about a straight to video sequel here, we're talking about a full blown effort designed for the big screen from Walt Disney Pictures. What you have essentially is a Masterpiece that did not receive the recognition it deserved. This may partly be due to the fact that it was not a musical unlike "The Little Mermaid" that came just before it. It also originally opened opposite the most successful box office comedy smash "Home Alone", so it had a bit of a tough break. In addition, when we look back at the renaissance of animation in the late 1980s and 1990s we think of "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty & The Beast", "Aladdin" and "The Lion King", sometimes forgetting the wonder that came between mermaid and beauty, and that was "The Rescuers Down Under". Here we continue the adventures of the two little mice Bernard (voiced by Bob Newhart) and Bianca (voiced by Eva Gabor) from "The Rescuers". This time they are off to save a boy called Cody who has been kidnapped by a poacher named McLeach in Australia. Of course to get there, they require the help of their albatross friend Orville from "The Rescuers". Unfortunately, he's out of town. This time around we have fellow family member Wilbur (voiced by the hilarious late great John Candy) flying them there. Or at least they travel part of the way on Wilbur. See the thing is, it's a bit of a long flight for an albatross from the USA to Australia, and so they make connections with a bigger bird (aka an aeroplane). Meanwhile in Australia Cody is trying to escape McLeach with the help of his animal friends. McLeach has kept hold of Cody because Cody knows where a big golden eagle's eggs are, and McLeach wants them. Cody though is friends with the golden eagle (they both helped each other out early on in the movie) and so refuses. Bernard and Bianca essentially come to the rescue. The animation is beautiful, especially the backgrounds of the outback, and the music is extremely exhilirating. Great animation and music, combined with great characters, humor and storytelling, add up to this very exciting adventure. The movie on this DVD is in the aspect ratio that it was originally presented in. There are some extras such as a theatrical trailer, but nothing to write home about. However the quality of picture on the DVD version is vastly superior to the VHS version. Go discover this underrated gem that is Disney's greatest animated adventure classic!

Summary: Is this movie from Disney?
Review: I doubt it. Why you ask? The makers at Walt Disney tend to have viloence in thier animated movies. The Rescuers Down Under was out 13 years after the orignal movie. The movie stars in Australia with a boy named Cody (Adam Ryen) who hears word of a bird that has been caught by a poacher named McLeach (George C. Scott), Cody recures the bird and takes him to a ride to her nest, where 3 eggs about to hatch. Cody doesn't know that McLeach had only ready killed the bird's father and now is after the mommy bird. After Cody's visit he saves a mouse from a trap and Cody winds up in the trap. And is saved by McLeach and when Cody refuses to tell McLeach where the nest with the eggs are, he kidnaps Cody and word is spent out of the kidnapping of Cody. But the rangers believe that Cody was killed by a crodoile because his back pack was foud by a crodicle's swamp. The word keeps getting spread until New York, where a meeting is called to order and Bernard (Bob Newhart) and Miss Bianca (Eva Garbor) is picked for the case. Miss Bianca finds out about the case, but the problem is Bernard doesn't know about case, I guess that he thinks Miss Bianca has found out that Bernard is planning to propuse to her. Miss Bianca doesn't know that Bernard doesn't know about hte case, and without any talk about the case Miss Bianca accpets the assignment.

Summary: The Coolest Disney Sequel Ever, Mate!
Review: As the people have said before, this is a Disney sequel that is actually decent and funny to watch. The plot was well thought out and the animation is spectacular. The characters are another positive. They are comical and the voices are right on the target. Also Bernard and Bianca have their original voices, not some fake voice that makes the movie more annoying.
Here's the story. An Austrailian boy named Cody has been kidnapped by a cruel poacher named McLeach, along with his goanna, Joanna. He wants the boy's prized friend, the largest bald eagle in the world he names Marahute. News of the kidnapping is sent all the way to New York by the local rodent population, and of course, Bernard and Bianca come to his aid, along with new friends Wilbur, who takes over Orville's role, and Jake, a kangaroo rat that makes Bernard feel unimportant at times(not on purpose.)Well in the end, Bernard asks the ultimate question of any bachelor to Bianca, she accepts, and they have a happy flight home. But they forgot someone...
The one main thing that gripped me in this movie is the music. It is Aboringine-based, and it sounds upbeat and beautiful. But of course, Disney slapped in the old orchestra, which gives this movie the best music in history. The humor is really good, as I've said before. Its put in there at the right time and the little bit of cheap slapstick while have you on the floor, anyway.
The Rescuers Down Under is one great movie and takes number one as a sequel, especially in Disney's case. It is a must- have and must own for all of Disney's true collectors and fans.
