The first feature-length sequel in the annals of Disney animation. The profusion of computer graphics no doubt gives the thing a diminished aura of heroism. And yet, the low-altitude, surface-skimming, simulated aerial shot across the Outback and into an open window is an exciting start. And the flight of the Great Golden Eagle upon its release from a poacher's trap revels in the sheer freedom of the animated medium, never mind the avian species. And there is ravening and refreshing good use made of the indigenous wildlife of Australia, far more interesting than the reappearing mice and albatross of the original Rescuers. And there's a good conniving villain too, thanks less to any visuals than to the roistering verbals of George C. Scott: "I didn't make it all the way through third grade for nothing!" With the voices of Bob Newhart, Eva Gabor, and John Candy; directed by Hendel Butoy and Mike Gabriel. (1990) — Duncan Shepherd
