 This is what I've been screaming for!Jun 15, 2008
I've bought the music to:
Narnia Prince Caspian
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Jumper
Kung Fu Panda
The Happening
Speed Racer
10.000 BC
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Rambo
The Spiderwick Chronicles
The Life Before Her Eyes
And above all of that, one film score rises to the top! And it wasn't even released in 2008! It came out in 1991, and its called the Rescuers Down Under. It is the best music I have bought and listened to this year. You must do yourself a favor and buy this music. Enough said.

 I agree with previous customers!Mar 01, 2006
The first The Rescuers film had the most charming and soothing tunes, that one should have had a soundtrack released way before this one. It is obvious the Disney studios felt the need to add songs from the original classic film in order to boost sales, and the three songs they added are the real reason as to why you should buy this CD. Unfortunately, The Rescuers had more songs and much better melodies than the sequel, so naturally I expected Disney to know better.
Disappointed. 1.9/5

 Garbage!Jul 31, 2005
Where is the original movie's soundtrack?! I've been waiting years for Disney to release it, instead, they release a soundtrack to the unfamous, wretched sequel from the early 90's!
Skip this trash, the only tracks worth listening here would be the bonus 3 from the original motion picture. I would give it negative 5 stars if I could!

What is the world coming to?!Oct 29, 2004
I couldn't believe that Disney had actually released a soundtrack for one of their horrible sequels and not to the original masterpiece. The only tracks worth listening to on this CD are "The Journey," "Tomorrow is Another Day" and "Someone's Waiting for You." Disney should have definately released a soundtrack to the original "The Rescuers," which featured outstanding '70s music and some of the sweetest bedtime melodies I had ever heard.
The only reason I give this one star (I couldn't give it 0, even if that's what I wanted!), is because of the original film songs, although we are still missing the fun-filled "Rescue Aid Society." Disney, once again you've let me down, I hope you plan on releasing "The Rescuers" on a Special Edition DVD someday, together with a remastered soundtrack.

A Forgotten (But Lovely) JewelAug 08, 2003
This hard-to-find soundtrack is one of my favorite scores (from one of my favorite films). The Rescuers Down Under is often forgotten (for many reasons), as it got sandwiched between The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, and it opened around the same time that Home Alone did...but it's a gem, this one, and the music is one of the film's many highlights.You get around 35 minutes of score (the film was around 77 minutes long). As a whole, the music has a Down Under feel, with many unique instruments, and many strong themes. You have the theme for Cody and the Great Golden Eagle, the Down Under theme...which is soaring and grand, and is repeated in several variations. Very graceful...along with a new Rescuers theme (highlighted during the Message Montage, which also sneaks in the original Rescuers theme at the end). It's very noble and rousing. And then you have the Bernard/Bianca love theme, which is incredibly sweet (and heartbreaking, in a way), as it chronicles Bernard's repeated attempts to propose to the lovely Miss Bianca... Aside from the themes, the rest of the disc is lively and animated, and as a whole it's a rich work. The score does a good job of stirring imagery (and moments) of the film in your head. Bruce Broughton is to be commended. As a bonus, you get three vocal tracks from the original film, The Rescuers, of which the best is Tomorrow is Another Day. But if you love this animated film (and the characters), or love Disney, and don't mind creative orchestral works...you'll love this. In further conclusion, my favorite tracks were: Answering Faloo's Call, Cody's Flight, Message Montage, Bernard Almost Proposes, and End Credits, though all of them were enjoyable.
