Initial Reaction: The Rescuers Down Under

One of the few times where a sequel surpasses the original in terms of quality.

The animation improves, the story is better, and the returning characters have matured between films while retaining what we enjoyed most about them. And Bernard even grows a pair during the action.

None of the new characters feel out of place. Wilbur is great in that he doesn't try to act like Orville and Cody is much more than helpless.

In terms of villain, not only does McLeach deliver, but George C. Scott provides the perfect voice.


This is probably going to be high. Right now, it's at #11.

At the same time, I'm reconsidering where I put The Little Mermaid. I'm thinking I may have been too harsh on it for it's one fault. After all, I put Mary Poppins at #3 when I thought the animated sequence was unnecessary.
