Does anyone else find it stupid that...

Eva Gabor's death ALONE was allegedly enough to kill this amazing franchise??? What WAS Disney thinking??? Some person pointed out that various classic Disney voice actors have passed away since the original's release, and yet DECADES later, they come out with new (completely RECAST, no less) sequels!!!

SALLY KELLERMAN would do just fine as a new Bianca (if stupid Mizz Bianca was ever going to appear, that is) OR Bernard (BOB NEWHART is still around) COULD go at it ALONE!!!

I may have hated "The Rescuers Down Under" to quite an extent, but ONLY because Penny, Rufus, Evinrude, etc. WEREN'T *beep* IN IT!!! Bianca could be dropped if needed (they don't need a Hungarian SLUT to tagalong, do they?)

P.S. Yes, I DO intended to disrespect Eva Gabor. She was awfully stupid, anyways, and thus, again, it makes no *beep* sense why Disney chose to scrap a franchise all over a single pathetic slut... AGAIN, they haven't had qualms at recasting FAR more important people in classic Disney films...

I think it was stupid not to put an end of it after the first film was finished and released: "The End" means 'the end.' The sequel was unnecessary and completely pointless.

Yup. You've said so a million times, dear Taran.

And I'll never get tired of saying it. It's been a while since I reviewed either film. Or any film for that matter.

When you call an animated mouse a "slut" it's time to evaluate your life and choices to see what went so horribly wrong.

i find it stupid that you call a mouse a slut. you probably meant eva gabor but disparaging an actress in such an immature way makes you look ridiculous

To be fair, the sequel's failure at the box office probably didn't help give Disney confidence in the franchise.

I find it sad that we didn't get any further Rescuers film after Down Under myself. I loved the first Rescuers film and Down Under was pretty good too. I could've maybe seen Penelope Cruz take over as Miss Bianca. Pathetic that Oliver and Company (a lame film if you ask me) was originally suppose to be a Rescuers film which I personally would've very much preferred. One thing we could've gotten in a future Rescuers film had Disney not pulled the plug was Cody and Penny hooking up and yes, we could've still seen Bernard and Miss Bianca in a story where the two children they saved got together. That might've been Disney's original plan.

I won't deny, having Penny and Cody get together would probably have been quite cute; as would Bernard and Miss Bianca getting along in their married lives. Ah well... Even if there never is a new official story with these charming characters, Disney should probably do something special for the first film's 40th anniversary next year; wow, what a milestone! 

I find it weird that Disney waited so long to do a sequel to begin with. This film was very successful and popular when it was released. If Oliver and Company was a Rescuers film it may have helped Down Under a bit. Or the could have made a TV series in the 80's. A lot of possibilities.

Down under sucked because of Jake.

If they had Miss Bianca and Bernard alone again it would have worked.
