Product: The Rescuers Down Under [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 1.0
Gibberish!
Lately I've been hearing of many old and upcoming Disney sequels, but I had never known this one. I had no idea they had made a sequel to the 1977 classic and I had hoped they never would. Sadly, here it is.Apparently released in 1990, this insignificant follow-up to the Disney classic isn't worthy of recognition, it's failure I doubt is due to it going against Home Alone, but rather because the film feels so rushed and cheap that it isn't worth your money.Three of the original characters made it into the sequel, many of the others replaced with pathetic re-makes, Cody, the new rescuee boy is as bland and boring as a Disney child could be, hardly even trying to achieve the depth and warmth of Penny. Brutus and Nero, have been conbined into an annoying and retarded lizard named Joahnna, Ellie Mae, Luke and the Swamp Folk have been transformed into Jake the kangaroo mouse and a bunch of outback critters who's place in the film is 100% un-needed and worst of all, Madame Medusa has been replaced my Percival McLeach, who's motive is questionable and lacks intelligence.Same thing with plot, the story of the original has been retouched with new settings and slightly different motives trying to lead the viewers into thinking they are in for a treat when all they'll get is a cheap remake of the original with the most ridiculously stupid comedy routines and one of the most uncomplete endings in Disney history. Locked up critters were left in their cages eternally as their "happily ever after" and everything else fills rushed.The animation isn't as bad as other Disney sequels, but it isn't too good either. Character design is the worst among Disney films and film structure is weak and bound to not work, which it didn't for me.Recommended: No.
