From Amazon.co.uk

The Rescuers Down Under isn't a quickie, direct-to-video sequel, cashing in on the success of the original 1977 animated hit about adventurous mice, but a full-blown theatrical effort. This time around, Bernard (voice of Bob Newhart) is trying to pop the question to Bianca (Eva Gabor) when they're summoned to Australia, where a young boy has been kidnapped by a pallid, grey-faced poacher (who looks like and is voiced by George C. Scott). Wilbur, a chatterbox of an albatross (John Candy, replacing the late Jim Jordan's character Orville), and Jake (Tristan Rogers), a kangaroo mouse--Bernard is jealous of the dashing rodent--assist the Rescuers in saving the day and imparting a mild environmental message. The film opens with an absolutely breathtaking aerial sequence--this was made near the beginning of Disney's animation renaissance--so impressive it would seem the story, literally, has nowhere else to go but down. However, some smart gags, excellent animation and rollicking adventures ensue. So why isn't it better known? It had the bad luck to open, in 1990, opposite another kids' film--Home Alone. --David Kronke

4.0 out of 5 stars breathtaking animation 4 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
Somewhere in Australia, a young boy and his eagle friend are in trouble, so once more, Bernard and Bianca come to the rescue. It's a wonderful story filled with charming characters, all different in their own way. It's not too sentimental, yet, it has it's moments. This is not just a kid's movie. This is a movie the whole family can enjoy, since the content is not goofy, but serious, though it does have a lot of funny moments. This movie is not exactly the newest animated movie Disney has created, but the animation is still as beautiful as their newest classics. In short, this movie has it all. The only thing I miss in this movie are the usual songs, which are in almost all Disney's masterpieces, but the story is still great, and it doesn't need music to be a good movie. Don't miss out on this lovely Disney classic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Breakthrough in 3d vfx for 2d animation 21 May 2008
By P. McCauley VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
This sequel to the rescuers was something special to disney, as this is the first sequal of feature animation to also become a feature. This is currently the only sequel to date to become a feature; this shows disney had great expectations and faith in this film.

This film has a similar story style to the original film, where a kid gets captured and its up to the rescue aid society to come to the rescue. The character cast in this film is amazing, and the animators do an incredible job at portraying emotion and expression through them.

This film also, as many may not know, include disney first 3d visual effects in 2d animation. There is a flying sequence at the start which is actually 3D which at the time of release was breathtaking, and was a huge impact on how film is today.

This film is really special, maybe not 'the best' disney feature, but its among some of the best animation films ever, and includes some of the best character animation I have ever seen.

This film will inspire you and wont fail to entertain.

- Pete

The first rescuers film was my favourite childhood film so when I seen the second film for a good price I had to have it. Didn't disappoint. Great delivery time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well known classic
A classic DVD for the grandchildren to view what their parents used to watch. An arguement for DVD vs streaming is the flexibility to view ad hoc for that age group.
