Product: The Rescuers Down Under [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 5.0
I wish Disney made more films like this.
This is the best annimation Disney has done since their glorious beginning. Films like Pinnochio, and Sleeping Beauty were excellent due to the wonderfull craftsmanship and storytelling. In the 60's though, the craftsmanship faultered a bit with the advent of a faster xerox process of transfering pencils to the annimation cell. This can best be seen in movies like the Arristocats. The backgrounds too, were far less detailed than ever before. The first Rescuers (1977) movie was an example of that lul in artistry. The Rescuers Down Under is a triumphant return to the magic that made Disney a household name. Here you will see some of the most challenging annimation to date, and the work is flawless. The characters are excellent, the story is meaningfull and the work of the late greats George C. Scott and John Candy tie it all together. This is in my top 5 movies of all time.
