	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[The animation] is fully realized, convincing, and entertaining (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"The animation is indeed first-rate, but the story and settings are sometimes incongruously threatening."	NEU
United States	Variety	"[It] boasts reasonably solid production values and fine character voices. Too bad they’re set against such a mediocre story that adults may duck."	NEU
United States	Tasha Robinson AV Club	"It’s a gorgeous, visually ambitious film, full of show-offy setpieces reportedly inspired by the work of Hayao Miyazaki."	POS
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"A worthy diversion for the very young (...) 'The Rescuers's identification/memorableness factor remains second division (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Charles Solomon Los Angeles Times	"'The Rescuers Down Under' challenges the adventure films of Spielberg and Lucas and confirms the special power of animation to present extravagant fantasies on screen."	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Hutchinson Radio Times	"It's likeable enough and the crocodile-snapping climax is exciting stuff (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Angeline Goreau Entertainment Weekly	"A dauntingly beautiful landscape, memorable performances, a socially redeeming theme — does this sound like any cartoon that you’ve seen lately?"	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Charity Time Out	"Computer technology invests contemporary features with sometimes breathtaking dynamism (...) This isn't the most colourful Disney movie."	NEU
