Product: The Rescuers Down Under [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 5.0
The way a Sequel is supposed to be.
Sequels are supposed to be the next chapter in the characters life. They are supposed to be a continuation of the previous movie, not a way to rake in some extra cash by straight to video flicks such as "Pocohantas Journey to a New World" or "The Little Mermaid 2". The Rescuers was a good movie, it had all of the right things to a plot to make it enjoyable. The Rescuers Down Under on the other hand, was not simply a movie to say "AACK! A sequel" to. It surpassed the greatness of the first, the plot was gripping, the characters were believable, and the Disney animation was of course spectacular! Unfortunatley, if you walk up to someone on the street and say "What did you think of the Rescuers Down Under?" they will most likely reply "The what? When did THAT come out? Last year sometime?".It has always been one of my absolute favorite movies, and I clearly remember wearing out the video a few times. The biggest kept secret in Disney history.
