A lot of people didn’t grow up with shows and movies where the villain is some sort of ecological terrorist. And it shows. #RescuersDownUnder

If I had a nickel for every cartoony big predatory lizard I know, with huge personality and persistant tries to eat a tiny protagonist, I would only get two but I'd sure keep them on display.
Also 2025 was the 30th anniversary of gen1 LPS

Will I ever stop getting emotional over the eagle flight scene from Rescuers Down Under?
Absolutely not, it's my favorite animated scene in the whole world.

Fidget from Disney's The Great Mouse Detective getting his leg looked at by Dr. Mouse from The Rescuers Down Under.
A little TLC, from you to me

Just watched The Rescuers Down Under.
Mid-tier at best. 2 outta 5. First act drags, albatross saves the midsection, but it never lands.
#DisneyRenaissance #AnimationCritique #RescuersDownUnder #DonBluthDidItBetter
Just wrapped The Rescuers Down Under and… it ain’t it.
First 20 minutes feel like an epilogue to a movie I never saw. It picks up with the albatross, but never really soars.
White savior narrative. Confused tone. Wasted opportunity.
★★☆☆☆
Short review on Letterboxd:

This story should’ve starred an Aboriginal child.
Final verdict: 2/5
Just go watch Ratatouille. Or The Secret of NIMH, which does everything this tries to do—but better.
#DisneyRenaissance #RescuersDownUnder #AnimationCritique #MouseFatigue #DonBluthWins
Final rating: 2/5
Better to revisit The Secret of NIMH—Bluth already nailed this vibe. Or go enjoy Ratatouille if you want heart + rodent heroics done right.

Okay, I’ll give Rescuers Down Under this:
Albatross Air? Genuinely funny.
The pun. The delivery. The busted runway.
It’s the first moment that actually made me chuckle.
If the rest of the movie had this kind of wit, I’d be way more on board.
#DisneyRenaissance #BestJoke #RescuersDownUnder […]
Credit where it’s due:
Albatross Air is the best joke in the movie so far.
The concept, the delivery, the sad little landing strip—it actually got a laugh out of me.
Shame it’s surrounded by so much drag.
#RescuersDownUnder #DisneyRenaissance #AnimationHumor
This runtime is gaslighting me.
The Rescuers Down Under clocks in at 1hr 17min and somehow feels twice as long.
Bernard lost the ring. I lost my will to finish.
It’s got mice, it’s got heart, it’s got adventure… allegedly. But none of it is clicking.
Ratatouille did the “empathetic rodent […]
How is this movie only 1 hour and 17 minutes and yet feels like it’s dragging for eternity?
Poor Bernard lost the ring… and I lost my patience.
I’m just not here for it.
Honestly? Ratatouille did the “hero rat with a heart” thing way better.
#DisneyRenaissance #RescuersDownUnder #MidwatchBlues
We’re only 12 minutes in and this thing is already dragging.
Runtime’s like 1hr 15min, but somehow it feels long.
So far? I’m hovering around a 2 out of 5—maybe a 3 if it sticks the landing (but I doubt it).
This might be the weakest of the Renaissance bunch.
#DisneyRenaissance […]
The animals mostly track—kangaroo, wombat, lizard, fine.
But the massive bald/golden eagle hybrid? Nah. That bird feels ripped from American myth—almost like a Thunderbird. It’s majestic, sure, but it doesn’t ring true to Australia.
#DisneyAnalysis #WhiteSavior #AboriginalErasure […]
Okay, so I get the kangaroos. I get the wombat.
But the giant golden eagle?? That thing feels America-coded—like a Thunderbird from Native myth. It doesn’t feel Australian at all.
#DisneyRenaissance #RescuersDownUnder #WhiteSaviorSyndrome #AnimationCritique
The music’s taken a sharp turn.
Early on, there were some evocative touches—Aboriginal-adjacent rhythms and instrumentation. Thought we might be getting something a little more culturally grounded.
But now it’s soaring trumpets and sweeping violins. Classic Disney crescendo stuff. Not bad […]
So… the music shifted.
We started with some Aboriginal-influenced sounds—percussion, flute tones, maybe even didgeridoo-adjacent textures.
#DisneyRenaissance #FilmScore #RescuersDownUnder
Voice acting is… fine.
I’m liking the animation more as it goes, but stylistically? It feels like a holdover from the ’70s—especially the animal designs.

Tonight’s review: The Rescuers Down Under (1990)
A sequel to The Rescuers (1977), which—full honesty—I’ve never actually seen. And I haven’t watched Down Under since I was a kid.

I’m reposting the start of my little impromptu minific crossover whatever-you-want-to-call-it so it’s easier to read for those interested. #GoodOmens #RescuersDownUnder #GoodOmensfanfic
Ooh ooh!! A Rescuers Down Under x Good Omens crossover!! Well, the plot anyways. #RescuersDownUnder #GoodOmens
Obviously not in GO3, but maybe a special? Or if there’s a fic out there you’ve read that you’d like to share with the class? (2/2) #RescuersDownUnder #GoodOmens
Today’s non-political eye bleach is brought to you by #Joanna. No context other than a bad joke that I make this face way too often at too many people. (Not reaaaly a joke).
I just love Joanna and wanted to share her delightfulness with you.

Learning that at least one news station is calling the incoming winter storm "Albatross," made me think of this scene from 1990's #RescuersDownUnder.
