Trivia

The producers wanted to have all the voice actors from The Rescuers (1977) reprise their roles for the sequel. However, in the original, Orville the albatross was voiced by Jim Jordan, who died two years before this film was released. The producers didn't want to replace Jordan, so Orville was replaced with the character's brother Wilbur, voiced by John Candy. This is a reference to Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright, the inventors and pilots of the first functional airplane.

This was Eva Gabor's last film before her death in 1995. A third Rescuers movie was planned for 1996, but after her death, all future Rescuers movies were scrapped.

The flying scenes with Marahute were inspired by the films of Hayao Miyazaki, which typically feature elaborate aerial scenes.

This was the first 100% digital feature film ever made. The animation and backgrounds were done traditionally but all of the coloring, many effects, and the final film printing was all done digitally. This was the first film produced with Disney's Academy Award-winning "CAPS" production system, developed for the film. It cut the production time for an animated movie down by at least six months.

Tristan Rogers is the only actual Australian voice actor in the film, as the voice of Jake.
