The Rescuers Down Under

Thundershowers are expected in the Crocodile Falls area

and some of the surrounding gullies, so take out your...

Cody!

Yeah, Mom?

- What about your breakfast? - I've got some sandwiches in my pack.

- Be home for supper. - No worries, Mom.

I know, I'm coming.

Hustle up, Nelson. Faloo's sounding the call!

Come on, little wombats, hurry!

Who's caught this time?

You don't know her, Cody.

Her name is Marahute, the great golden eagle.

Where is she?

She's caught, high on a cliff in a poacher's trap.

- You're the only one who can reach her. - I'll get her loose.

Righto. Hop on, no time to lose.

She's up on top of that ridge. Be careful, little friend.

Marahute!

Calm down, calm down.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

That's a girl. Stay still.

It's okay.

No, wait! I'm here to help you.

Easy! Easy!

You're free!

Higher!

Whoa!

Wow.

You're a mom!

They're very warm. Are they gonna hatch soon?

Where's the daddy eagle?

Oh. My dad's gone, too.

Hey, little fella, what happened to you?

Oh, no! Get away!

- Don't worry. I'll get you loose. - It's a trap. Careful!

Got one!

- Are you all right? - Yeah, I think so.

- Okey-dokey. - Wait! Hey, come back!

Here you go, grab on.

That's great. Just a little more, a little further...

There! I got it.

Well, Joanna, what'd we get today?

A dingo, a fat ol' razorback, or a nice big...

Boy?

Joanna, you been diggin' holes out here again?

Dumb lizard always trying to bury squirrels out here.

Uh-uh. It's a trap, and poaching's against the law.

Trap? Where'd you get an idea like that?

I think you've been down in that hole for too long.

Come on, grab hold.

We'll get you out of this old lizard hole and you can just run along home.

This is a poacher's trap and you're a poacher.

Let go! Hey, get off of me.

McLEACH: I'm gonna kill her.

I'm gonna kill that dumb, slimy, egg-sucking salamander.

Cut it out! Get off of me.

Hmm.

Good girl, Joanna.

Say, where'd you get this pretty feather, boy?

It was a present.

That's real nice. Who gave it to you?

It's a secret.

That's no secret, boy.

You see, I already got the father.

You just tell me where Momma and those little eggs are.

No!

Joanna, sic him!

You're coming with me, boy.

My mom'll call the rangers!

Oh, no. Not the rangers. What'll I do?

What'll I do? Don't let your mom call the rangers!

Please don't!

"My poor baby boy got eaten by the crocodiles!"

Boo hoo hoo.

Let's go, boy!

Help!

Help!

Help! Someone, help! McLeach took a little boy.

Send for help!

Code red, code red! Attention all Rescue Aid Society delegates.

All delegates report immediately to the main assembly hall.

This is an emergency meeting.

I repeat, this is a code red emergency meeting!

Order!

Yes, I know it's late, but I'm... Really? Pajamas?

Hello, Frank, how are you? Nice to see you!

And Esmerelda, there you are!

Quiet now, please, everyone pay attention.

There has been a kidnapping in Australia.

A young boy needs our help.

This is a mission requiring our very finest,

and I know we are all thinking of the same two mice.

What's this? Gone?

We must find Bernard and Miss Bianca at once!

Oh, pea soup.

Pea soup!

To my dear Bernard, and our wonderful partnership.

Uh, yeah, wonderful.

You've been very quiet this evening. Is there something on your mind?

Well, um, actually...

- I was wondering... - Yes, darling?

I... Miss Bianca, would you...

Would you...

Would you excuse me for a minute?

Pardonnez-moi, Mademoiselle Bianca, I have important news.

Yes, François? What is it?

You and Bernard have been asked to accept

a dangerous mission to Australia.

The poor boy. This is dreadful.

Now where is Bernard? I must tell him at once!

Allow me, madame, I will tell him immediately.

Miss Bianca, will you marry me?

Quickly, Monsieur Bernard! I must speak with you.

- Not now, François, I'm busy! - No, monsieur, you don't...

- Bernard, did you talk to François? - Yes, but there's something I want...

I know what you're going to say. François told me about it.

He did? How did he...

It doesn't matter, I think it's a marvelous idea.

You do?

I mean, you really want to?

I don't think it's a matter of wanting, it's a matter of duty.

Duty? I never thought of it...

Well, all right. How does next April sound to you?

Heavens, no! We must act immediately, tonight!

Tonight? But wait!

Bianca, this is so sudden. I mean, don't you at least need a gown or something?

No, just a pair of khaki shorts and some hiking boots!

Hiking boots?

Oh, there you are. Come along, come along.

Delegates, we have an important announcement.

Bernard and I have decided to accept the mission to Australia.

Australia?

Good show! Now, you must fly out immediately!

It's a little nippy outside, but we won't let that stop us, will we?

Miss Bianca, I'm not sure it's a good idea

to fly this soon after eating!

Darling, you'll be just fine!

But aren't you supposed to wait 45 minutes?

Oh, just knock on the door and see if Orville is there!

Nobody's home, let's go.

This is no time to play in the snow.

I wasn't playing in the snow. It was an avalanche.

Look, Bernard!

"Under new management, see Wilbur."

Come on, darling. Let's get a move out!

I'm the cat's pajamas

Always run around with crazy little mamas

Whoo!

Yoo-hoo! Mr. Wilbur!

Get down there, son!

Hello?

Pick it, boy, pick it! Yeah!

Whoo! Here we go! Let's walk!

Whoo!

Look out! Excuse me, sir.

Do something! He can't hear us!

Big time, big time!

The girls all look when I go by...

Who killed the music?

That's better.

Excuse us for interrupting. We're from the Rescue Aid Society.

I am Miss Bianca, and this is my...

The Miss Bianca? I don't believe it.

My brother, Orville, told me all about you. Boy. This is an honor to have...

May I just say, "Enchanté, señorita," to you? May I?

We need to charter a flight.

You've come to the right place, buddy boy. Welcome to...

"Albatross Air. A fair fare from here to there."

Get it? A fair fare? It's a play on... Never mind.

I've got tons of exotic destinations, faraway places,

custom designed for

a romantic weekend getaway.

The finest in-flight accommodations.

Speaking of which, what can I get you?

How about a nice mango Maui cooler? Very nice, very tasty.

No, thank you.

A coconut, guava nectar? It's carbonated.

I got little umbrellas for each one, and a little coconut thing.

- It's urgent that we leave immediately! - Nothing? Nothing at all?

- How about a cream soda? - We need a flight to Australia.

Australia? The land down under?

That's a fabulous idea! So when can I pencil you in?

After spring thaw? Mid-June would be very nice.

We must leave tonight.

Tonight?

Come on, you're kidding me, right?

Have you looked outside? It's suicide out there.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

I'm afraid your jolly little holiday will have to wait.

What a bunch of jokers.

But you don't understand, a boy needs our help. He's in trouble.

Boy? You mean, a little kid kinda boy?

He was kidnapped.

Kidnapped? Oh, that's awful.

Locking up a little kid.

A kid should be free.

Free to run wild through the house on Saturday mornings.

Free to have cookies and milk, and get those little white mustaches.

Nobody's gonna take a kid's freedom away while I'm around.

Does that mean you'll take us?
