The Rescuers Down Under

It's a nice movie, really good animation and engaging story.

Not bad for a Disney sequel. Considering I don't like the original film all that much, I wasn't expecting anything from 'The Rescuers Down Under'. For the most part, I was right. However, relatively speaking this is decent. It does feel like a retread for the majority, but there's enough new stuff to at least appreciate minorly. It's also good that Bob Newhart (Bernard) and Eva Gabor (Miss Bianca) returned, even thirteen years on from 'The Rescuers'. John Candy is a terrific addition, arguably giving the most memorable performance across both productions as Wilbur. This one does have improved comedy and a solid score, to be fair. The story just isn't thrilling enough and feels too similar to the one featuring six-year-old Penny. It isn't anything terrible though, which is a positive given what I mentioned higher up.
