Adventurous rescue sequel from Disney!
13 March 2014
This is a sequel to the adventurous "The Rescuers" from Disney, a story about two mice named Bernard and Miss Bianca from the Rescue Aid Society out to rescue a boy named Cody and his golden eagle friend Marahute from kidnapping poacher, Percival McLeach, in Australia. He is after the endangered species bird for its profitable quarry. As a result, the rescuing Bernard and Bianca team up with the society's local field operative, Jake The Kangaroo Rat, to find Cody, stop McLeach and save Marahute.

This movie, Disney's 29th full-length animated feature film and the only such film to be a sequel, is like a daring and fun action-adventure movie, but with animals serving as the protagonists. It's non-stop adventure from Cody freeing Marahute to Bernard and Miss Bianca going through rushing waters to rescue Cody.

All the characters, especially the critters, are lovable and memorable. The subplot of Cody and his newly-formed friendship with the eagle he rescued is interwoven into the main plot very well, expanding on the "Rescuers" topic of the movie.

This movie, like its prequel, is probably one of the more obscure of Disney films as it does not utilize the fairytale method. I personally like "The Rescuers" more because I thought it was more charming and heartfelt and contained more unforgettable songs. But, this movie is nonetheless one of the more exciting Disney features that would sure delight an audience of all ages.
