What Parents Need to Know
About The Rescuers Down Under
Parents need to know that young environmentalists will love the anti-poaching message and the animated rainforest, and the brilliant scenery and a funny albatross will interest most youngsters, but there are still some scary moments that parents should be aware of: Cody is threatened with death-by-crocodile twice, McLeach is swept over a falls (to his death). McLeach fakes the boy's death and imprisons him in an abandoned mine. Cody, his eagle friend, and her eggs spend most of the film in jeopardy.

Loser of the 11/16/1990 movie fight
It's true. Only got $27 Million. The movie was not that bad. It was okay... This should not be considered a sequel because it didn't start where The Rescuers (1977) left off. Mainly, Cody accepts to rescue Marahute, a golden eagle, but kidnapped by poacher named McLeach. Bernard and Bianca of R.A.S set to rescue him - but not quite. The duo were the most boring charectors of the film. Bianca does almost nothing and Bernard doesn't want to rescue Cody and only wants to propose marriage to Bianca. Jake was the ONLY one who did effort to save Cody and the film leaves Cody rescued - but questions unanswered. Go buy the first film is all I can say but buy this to help you sleep.

No more than a Disney sequel...
Bland, boring, violent and stupid. Margery Sharp, author of the charming books in which the worthy The Rescuers (1977) and this pathetic sequel are based on, would have died seeing what Disney has turned her works into. The film features a boring story, with bland characters and worst of all, no bit of charm anywhere. The story is surprisingly a rip off of the original's, but pathetically enough, this one didn't manage to capture half of its value. I'd skip this one unless you're into Disney's cheap-sequel-fest fare.
