This sequel to The Rescuers is superior in many respects. The animation, for instance, is leaps and bounds ahead. There are a great many startling, dramatic depth shots that may cause you to get a little giddy if you're afraid of heights. The production has a crisper feel. The villain, this time around, is conniving and evil, as usual, but he's got two very interesting sidekicks: Joanna, a wicked yet funny lizard (watch for a classic scene involving eggs), and a monster truck that's every bit as alive and terrible as the Mack truck from Spielberg's Duel. If only the story's ends had been tied up a little better -- what happened to all the caged animals we meet mid-way through the picture?
