Whilst it's not as good as the original, The Rescuers Down Under is not a disgrace as far as sequels go. Many theatrical sequels tend to be no better than ones released direct-to-video. Down Under is an exception.Plot-wise, there are... Full review

Good, but for some reason, it just does not hit it off with me as well as the original did. It does have a sense of wonder, amazement, and excitement, but its own kind, not the same kind as the... Full review

The film became awfully grainy at times, and I noticed sporadic instances of specks, grit and other small blemishes.
All curses aside, Disney proved it was possible to outdo an original product with a sequel via the modest success of The Rescuers Down Under .

There's a Wagnerian scale to the animation in "The Rescuers Down Under," a gorgeously drawn myth made for plucky children and very brave mice.
Some squirming might ensue, but even for parents, "The Rescuers Down Under" is worth getting your lap wrinkled.
