April 30, 2012Decent sequel to the Rescuers, however it lacks the thrills that made the first one so exciting. What made The Rescuers such an entertaining film was that there was always something exciting happening, but with this one, instead of delivering a great sequel to a good film, this i... read more

March 1, 2012More than worthy of your time compared to some of the straight to video Disney sequels and even a few animated films not made by Disney that get a theatrical release.

December 31, 2010It's not as great as the first but it was great to see (or should I say hear) Newhart and Gabor together again. The voice cast is quite impressive but I'm glad that the planned follow up films were scrapped after the death of Gabor, it just wouldn't have been the same without her... read more

January 30, 2010An example of a kids flick which will interest entirely nobody except for those too young to understand what they're seeing

January 26, 2010This gets the award for best improvement when it comes to sequels. It's got John Candy as an imbecile seagull and a bloodthirsty Australian poacher/kidnapper. It's truly too demented for its own good, bringing child abduction into the Disney Universe.

September 10, 2009"The Rescuers Down Under" has been one of my favorite Disney animated movies ever since I was a kid and it first came out on video, and it always will be one of my favorites. A young boy named Cody rescues a huge golden eagle and they instantly become friends. However, Cody stumb... read more

Janet Maslin, New York Times
The film's direction, by Hendel Butoy and Mike Gabriel, is spectacularly inventive even when not fully appropriate to either the film's subject or the very young viewers it can be expected to attract. Full Review

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
A gorgeously drawn myth made for plucky children and very brave mice. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The flight sequence and many of the other action scenes in this new Disney animated feature create an exhilaration and freedom that are liberating. And the rest of the story is fun, too. Full Review

Entertainment Weekly
Carries its ambitions with an easy grace, expanding the art of animation to fresh ground without losing sight of the silly fun we love cartoons for. Full Review

Ellen MacKay, Common Sense Media
A rare sequel that improves on the original. Full Review

Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy
There's only the one thing it does flat-out wrong: this otherwise delightful adventure-comedy has a completely meandering, aimless story. Full Review

TV Guide's Movie Guide
The villain is far too malignant, the young vigilante hero seems to be a kiddie Rambo, and some of the action is quite violent, if not tasteless. Full Review

Empire Magazine
The Rescuers' identification/memorableness factor remains second division. Full Review

Time Out
As for the animation, computer technology invests contemporary features with sometimes breathtaking dynamism, but outback flora being what it is, this isn't the most colourful Disney movie. Full Review
