Continuity: In the scene where the eagle is trapped, Cody grabs onto the rope of the trap and Jake throws a rope around Cody's shoe to lift himself and Miss Bianca after him. As Cody tries to cut through all of the ropes, both of his feet are visible and there are no mice hanging from them, but when he arrives at the top of the cliff, Jake and Miss Bianca are there. more

Jake: the Outback Kangaroo-Mouse: So, um, which way are taking', uh, Suicide Trail through Nightmare Canyon, or the shortcut at Satan's Ridge?
Bernard: Su-Suicide Trail?
Jake: the Outback Kangaroo-Mouse: Good choice. More snakes, but less quicksand. Then once you cross Bloodworm Creek, you're scot free, this is until, um... Dead Dingo Pass
Bernard: [sees that the map has nothing but landscapings] Wa-wa-wait a minute, I don't-I don't see any-any of that-that stuff on the map.

Not a Disney "classic" but enjoyable, nonetheless!, 4 February 2007
7/10
Author: Reginald D. Garrard from Camilla, GA

Released after the triumph that was "The Little Mermaid" and before the glories of "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King," "The Rescuers Down Under" was a film that, though moderately successful, doesn't classify as one of the studio's best. However, the film does have its highlights, from the casting to wondrous animated sequences.

Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor reprise their roles from the original ("The Rescuers") as rodents that respond to a distress call from The Australian Outback. Aided by a daffy albatross, well-played by John Candy, the pair make their way "down under" and come upon a sinister poacher (George C. Scott). The poacher is aided by a not-too-bright salamander named Joanna (Frank Welker). The exchanges between the poacher and his aide are hilarious, making the lizard one of the film's strong points.

Other pluses is the eagle family, spectacularly animated as it soars in the sky. The film's opening sequence is a genuine masterpiece, standing as one of the best ever for an animated film.

Bruce Broughton's score is particularly exciting, befitting the setting and the storyline.
