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.

Reviews for The Rescuers Down Under
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.

The Rescuers' identification/memorableness factor remains second division.

I had my first epileptic seizure while watching this film. It was more exciting than this tepid sequel.
