Product: The Rescuers Down Under [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 5.0
Simply adorable!
I have always enjoyed Disney's animated films, but there are some that stand out. The Little Mermaid (both of them), The Lion King 2 (that's right, I said the sequel!), The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Cinderella, and the two Rescuer movies are the ones that come to mind. Now, the first Rescuer film is a hands-down favorite, but I love the sequel even more. Why? Because it has something the first one didn't--Jake the daring kangaroo rat. He has a crush on Bianca, and this upsets Bernard, whose trying to gather the courage to ask Bianca to marry him! So, the two boys end up glaring at each other and competing for the girl's attention, and she apparently doesn't notice the animosity. But it's just so cute! Jake is one of my all-time favorite characters, even if he is a stereotype of a guy from the Australian Outback. I love Jake!
