Product: The Rescuers Down Under [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 2.0
Poor storytelling quality
*May contain spoilers*Not only made horrid with a story that was a complete rip-off of the original film, it also features a lot of plot holes and things in the film just don't make sense. Without any more than "A boy's been kidnapped in Australia", Wilbur, the lost brother of Orville knows right where to land in one of the biggest countries in the world, throughout the film, we meet a bunch of locked up critters, just there for a good laugh and left there afterwards, no one ever came to rescue them. We never get to see a happy meeting of Cody and his mother or Bernard and Miss Bianca returning to the Rescue Aid Society like it happened in the original. Worse, there's this huge love triangle through-out the film which just happens to be completely lost at the end when one of the players totally gives up. Obviously Disney didn't take the time to actually produce a decent enough sequel for one of their animated classics, they only did with Fantasia 2000. Usually, I just ignore sequels, I've only seen about 4, but none of them were really worth the money or time. The Rescuers wasn't the best Disney animated feature out there, but it's lack of comedic stupidity (Of which drowned this lacking sequel) and full amount of color and heart made it quite superior. Some of the characters, like the villain and the mouse doctor are painful to look at, and taking the original's strength with the explendid vocal talents of Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor makes this one a poor loser, even with the same two vocalists.Rating: 1.9/5. The eagle was likeable.
