Disney should start making more sequals like this
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. 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.
