  • The Rescuers Down Under was Disney's 29th animated movie, and the sequel to 1977's The Rescuers. The series was based on Margery Sharp's series of children's novels by the same name. The movie centers around the adventures of members from the all-mouse Rescue Aid Society who are sent to Australia to rescue a young boy who is held captive by a poacher. The Rescuers Down Under was not only the first of Disney's animated sequels, but would be the only such sequel to get released in theaters rather than straight to home video.
