On November 16, 1990, The Rescuers Down Under premiered in theatres. The film is the sequel to the 1977 The Rescuers. In Rescuers Down Under, Miss Bianca and Bernard head to Australia to save a young boy and an eagle from an evil poacher.
The film has a top-notch vocal cast which includes Bob Newhart, John Candy, Tristan Rogers, George C. Scott, and Eva Gabor.
Eva Gabor reprises her role as Miss Bianca, the Hungarian Ambassador for the Rescue Aid Society in New York.
I have to say that my first memories of any Gabor involve Disney films. First was The Aristocats, followed by The Rescuers. It has been many years since I’ve seen these films, but what sticks with me is the soothing quality of Eva’s voice as Duchess and as Miss Bianca. I’m looking forward to revisiting this film over the weekend.
