Rescuers Down Under

"The world's bravest mice, Bernard and Miss Bianca, answer a call for help from deep in the heart of Australia's vast and unpredictable Outback!" My first introduction to the "Australian Outback", even if it was just a cartoon! "Say 'G'day' to a classic Disney adventure full of unforgettable characters and incredible animation in this down-under delight you'll cherish for years to come!"
Alright, what does the rest of the class think? Was Rescuers Down Under a note-worthy movie? Did you see it when you were younger? After reading a small part of the back cover, do you wish you could see it?

Comments:
I saw this movie when I was a bit younger but I didn't realize that the movie had anything to do with Australia. This movie is portraying the possible things that mice might have to deal with but most people are more interested in other things than the wildlife. Myself I think the movie is adoreable but it doesn't necesarily has anything to do with the Hisory of Australia.

I also watched Rescuers Down Under when I was a child, but I forgot the main story line so I watched it again. The movie is set in the Australian Outback and if you pay close attention to the geography you will recognize some points of interest from our lecture. The movie displays a wide open land with few trees, scrubs, plateaus, and desert country. The animals may be able to talk, but they are from to Australia, such as the kangaroos, wombats, and frilled lizard. True the movie exaggerates the facts and has an unrealistic plot, but the movie does display a foreign land that some children otherwise wouldn't experience.
