This acceptable enough Disney animation is a sequel that came such a long time after The Rescuers (1977) that it could be forgiven for having lost the plot, because introductions to the “rescue mice” Miss Bianca and Bernard had to be made all over again. This time they're called to Australia to help a boy and golden eagle in danger from a fearsome trapper. It's likeable enough and the crocodile-snapping climax is exciting stuff. Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor are great as the voices of Bernard and Bianca, though it's a shame that fine actor George C Scott is only a disembodied presence.

It's actually rather good. The kid is just a cipher anyway: everyone knows the true protagonists of the Rescuers movies are Bernard and Bianca, who are American and Hungarian respectively - no problem with the voices there. It's a decent rescue movie, sharply paced, with animation that leaps ahead of `The Little Mermaid' (mermaid herself excepted). The na?ve computer animation will, I predict, age better than many more sophisticated attempts. (It already has.) There are moments of true humour. Why, then, did this film fail at the box office? I'll tell you why - it was the words `down' and `under' in the title.
