This scene does more than anything else to show just how large of an operation the RAS actually is. Sure, you have the UN-esque meetings, but these guys are supposed to be active all over the world, and lo and behold, this scene shows that it truly is.
And this exactly how the United Nations should be. Providing aid and support to people all over the world whenever and wherever help is needed, not just sitting down in a big room and trying to talk things out.
This scene was one of the many in The Rescuers Down Under that really stuck with me, and it's proof as to how much the filmmakers and animators cared about the movie. They could've easily just said "the RAS got the message," but no. We get this epic Indiana Jones-style montage complete with awesome music that shows just how effective the RAS are as an organization. In the first movie, they were a ragtag bunch of cute mice. Here, they're a truly international crack emergency response team, part MI6 and part UN. God, this movie's awesome.
@@RM2011ish Sadly, this sequel didn't do too well in the box office. This came out when I think Home Alone just debuted in theaters, and everyone wanted to see that. After this failed in the box office, that was when Disney went with straight-to-video Disney sequels (Return of Jafar, Hunchback of Notre Dame 2, Fox & The Hound 2, etc.) where animation went down and storytelling wasn't as good. I liked Return of Jafar but wish they never made some of these sequels. Now we have the live-action remake phase of Disney animated movies.
Especially back then, there was a time before the internet when the world just relayed messages, I had walkie talkies to keep in touch with some friends and they’d relay back and forth across the town.
Man I love how the first mouse just barged in shouting McLeach took a boy ! And the other mouse immediately dropped the snack, and started transmitting, no questions asqued These mice are sure well trained to act in an emergency
I remember watching that as a little kid, feeling so relieved, because I knew Cody felt so alone and scared, but all the little animals were genuinely concerned for him and were doing their best to help him.
I have always loved this scene. Kind of obsessively. I was just so fascinated by the use of Morse code, including the fun beeping noises (it's one of my fave things about the movie Balto, too), and the display proving that the RAS really WAS a worldwide organization that kept all agents informed of a world crisis. I loved the locations they used. I also always loved that they hacked into some base in Hawaii and were able to lure the human away to use the computers. I mean, they freaking learned how to use computers. There are people today who don't get computers, yet these mice were just like, "Hack into the system, use an isolated phone pad to make a fake call, retrieve the message, email it to New York. No biggie." Plus the instrumental music written for this piece is awesome, that grandeur, "the heroes are about to come save the day" feel makes me smile to this day.
I miss the old tech so much more practical especially in times of emergency. And love the sounds of the beeps and tic tac of the typewriter ahh just soothing. This scene It just gets you pumped and relieved in a way that they are on it Rescue Aid Society wish we had something like this in real life especially protecting kids.
As a kid growing up on an island in the Pacific, this scene meant everything to me. It made it feel like you were connected to the rest of the world in a key way and an important part of something larger.
Now that we're all in the Digital Age I can only think that the Rescue Aide Society spread their wings and are flying faster. Through storm, rain and dark of night. Never fail to do what is right. Words that we can live by in our lives
+John Pluta I was just considering that on Twitter. I always figured the various "little people" genres like this, Basil the Mouse Detective, The Borrowers and so on used human scraps because a lot of common industrial processes just don't work at small scales. Surface-tension and viscosity alone would rule out a whole lot of casting methods for a people this small. Making something like iron for them would be like us trying to make neutronium (presuming you're human anyway. On the internet no body knows that you're a mouse). The digital age could well see them coming into their own. If they can tap into strategic air command, then they can get some money in a paypal account and order a 3D printer or parts from a mail-order PCB manufacturer. They could easily build IT hardware correctly scaled for them. They could make use of model helicopters and drones, toy cars and so on. Maybe even hobby rocketry. It wouldn't be hard to imagine some of the smallest mobile phones being used as-is like an old military field radio backpack.
God, yes - the right beats for the big, amazing grand sweeps, and then switching to lower key, softer, subtle notes as you watch these different mouse bases getting the message and passing it on.
My favorite childhood movie, I had it in VHS and I used to watch it over and over. Knew the Rescue Aid society song by heart. Made me want to grow up and work for the UN ☺️
Can we talk for a second about how the three Hawaiian mice all started jumping on the keys at the same time and somehow managed to type out a coherent message Those mice must be psychic
On this day, the 18th of July 2024 Bob Newhart, voice actor of Bernard passed away at the age of 94. Today, Bernard was reunited with his beloved Bianca, and the albatross brothers Orville and Wilbur.
They probably have a private communication network that, even if someone could hack into it, they wouldn’t be able to process it, since the message on that computer at the Hawaii base was illegible to the human eye.
@@carlossoto1715 I always liked the idea that they'd have satellite communications, piggybacking university cube sats. Heck, a single U cubesat is the same relative size as a Salyut station to mice. Or even build and launch theiur own if they have some-mouse like gadget Hackwrench working for them. In one episode of CDRR, she built a SSTO based on Orion principles (a garbage can you threw sticks of dynamite under for pulsed thrust).
That's because you're going by real time and the fact this movie predates Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Technically, seeing technology is used I this movie, The Beacons of Minas Tirith would've been *Before* this tech & Morse Code.
*Chuckle Actually, J.R.R. Tolkien wrote about the Beacons of Minas Tirith in the original Lord of the Rings books over 40 years before this film was made. And even then, long range relay communications had been a real-world thing for generations before Tolkien wrote that trilogy. France and Spain used a series of sunlight-reflecting mirrors and waystations within visual range of each other to send messages as far back in the 18th century. And before that, Rome and Greece used foot runners, inspired by the victory messenger from Marathon to Athens, to relay messages across Greece and the Roman Empire.
This scene gives me goosebumps the same way the Twilight Bark from 101 Dalmatians. I love the way the animals work together to relay the message to help those in need. They didn’t have to send the message further but they still do it!
Came here to say this. I am a social worker and these scenes mean so much to me, it's like watching all the first responders work together and the system actually working.
I was fascinated with this scene in regards to the animation, and how they (Disney Feature Animation) blended this early use of CGI with the 2D animation, showing the RAS alert trekking the globe, and even down to showing the CGI tops of the skyscrapers in NYC, I think I wore the poor VHS tape down rewinding this part over and over ( I still have this movie too and a VCR, but haven't watched in years) , this was disney in their prime with 2D animation 👍🏽.
My gosh it's been 34 years and this scene from a forgotten film still gives me chills man. Apparently disney has forgot how great this animated sequel is to watch. They should put this on the top list😮
Bethany Furrow They mean, "Get Bernard and Bianca. Anybody else ain't gonna make it out alive. Except maybe the Australian Mouse ambassador, but he's on an assignment, too."
@@michikomanalang6733 "... and the mouse from Montana is also on assignment..." ... a little US joke is that Montana is sometimes considered to be the US's Australia at times.
I wonder if there was ever a deleted scene or an idea to have a follow up scene with these relay stations where all of them get the MISSION COMPLETE or MISSION SUCCESS to let them know the boy was rescued. I imagine they're all curious to know how it went.
Brings me back childhood memories!! I always enjoy the scene not only the soundtrack is awesome but I like the vintage tech such as the telegraph. I recently bought telegraph, it was from the late 19th century because I always like old western times. Unfortunately not everyone likes the old technology as I do especially with people who are history enthusiasts. Telegraphs is part of the history what shaped internet, it also created possibilities of future inventions such as telephones where it was built from telegraph parts. If I hear morse code correctly in the beginning of the clip, I think it said RAS. (Yes I know morse code lol).
I was just listening to an animation podcast with Chris Sanders, and I learnt today that he came up with the concept for this scene and story boarded it. He later created Lilo and Stitch, and how to train your dragon :)
Watching it all over again... I just wonder one thing: How in the hell hasn't people not notice this at some point? XD... Especially with all the antennas...?
Well, really how often do you pay attention to antennas? For instance, that satellite dish on top of your local gas station, or that radio tower a good distance away?
Rescuers Down Under was such an interesting hybrid of animation techniques. The characters are hand drawn, but I believe it was the first film to use CAPS all the way through, and they used digital modeling to create complicated environments and machines like the New York skyscrapers and McLeach’s vehicle. Very cool.
Imagine a bunch of mice on the opposite side of the planet gathering just to decide how to best save you from your kidnapper. Gets me every time. You’d think they’d ask for field agents in Sydney or Melbourne first.
I saw this movie twice in theaters when it first came out, but never on home media. I especially loved the soundtrack, and have never forgotten the motif that accompanies the initial morse signal on its epic journey to that wrecked plane in the jungle - and then repeats in full as the resident mouse gets to work clambering all over the dashboard to get the transmitter working. I was kinda disappointed when they started just showing the pink arrow pinballing across the mainland USA!
rw:"Code Red!,to Code Red! Attention all Rescue Aid Society Delegates !,All Delegates Please Report immediately to the main Assembly Hall ,This is a Emergency Meeting!,I repeat ,This is a Code Red Emergency Meeting!"
1:08 As far as I know, this is the first time we see computers in a Disney animated feature. So it is only fitting that it happens in a the first animalted movie where computers were used to color all the animation.
When I was a kid I always wondered two things: 1. What is the model plane in the Marshall Islands 2. Which military base in Hawaii are those mice who give the message "RELAY TO NEW YORK."
that's a Crashed P-47 Thunderbolt in the Marshall Islands. as for the base in Hawaii, it could very well have been Pearl Harbor, which still hosts a Naval Base for the US.
The P-47 Thunderbolt had a four-blade prop and didn't have a big cone over the prop spinner. To me, the plane wreck looks more like either a Brewster Buffalo fighter (unlikely to be in the Marshall Islands), or, more likely, a Japanese Zero fighter. The cockpit canopy looks a lot like the Zero's.
2:21 “Code red. Code red. Attention all Rescue Aid Society delegates. All delegates please report immediately to the main assembly hall. This is an emergency meeting I repeat this is a code red emergency meeting.”
I've always wondered what would happen with a Mashup between Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers organization and the Rescue Aid Society...two very similar worlds and a possible connection in the making!
I love watching her the part where the arrow goes from relay station a relay station on the global to New York City to the Rescue Aid Society Headquarters at the UN building.
I know I’m gonna get trolled for saying this, but I would love for them to do another rescuers movie. On one hand, that’s a tall order, because Bob Newhart and Ava Caboor are no longer with us. So we would either have to recast them. Or come up with a new concept. Personally, I like the idea of an international community dedicated to rescues. With agents operating in every country. So I suppose you could do it as an anthology. Or pick two agents that travel the world working in different field offices.
Autonomous sensory meridian response: Basically that tingly sensation that runs down your spine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_sensory_meridian_response
Imagine if humans in the real world were as competent and altruistic as these mice. But no, we fail kids in both this and worse situations 99.9 percent of the time.
Before communications satellites became widespread, people used to use shortwave radios. They’d bounce off of the ionosphere and extend the range. Antiques by today’s standards.
I practically loved cartoons about mice or rats that are civilized as the humans but tried to hide from them so they won't be discovered. And use thier tools like small objects as well abandoned but they use for them to make it more useful for them with their intelligence. And not to mention they are billions of mice or rats all over the globe as well like humans.
This was the “The Beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid!” of my childhood. The chills are exactly the same.
And the Rescue Aid Society will answer.
That with music that was almost like that one from Raiders of the Lost Ark (where Indy and Jock escape South America)
Omg exactly this!
This scene does more than anything else to show just how large of an operation the RAS actually is. Sure, you have the UN-esque meetings, but these guys are supposed to be active all over the world, and lo and behold, this scene shows that it truly is.
Nothing stops them. When someone needs their aid, they are ready to answer the call of duty!
"Through storm and rain, and dark of night. Never fail to do what's right"
Yeah the MOUSE part of it anyway!😏😂
I need the sci fi novel of this organization
And this exactly how the United Nations should be. Providing aid and support to people all over the world whenever and wherever help is needed, not just sitting down in a big room and trying to talk things out.
This always makes me tear up. I'm a massive fan of junk-tech and mouse world stuff, and this is a briliant example.
I know how you feel man.
Ikr l love how the mouse went and got help for Cody after he saved him from the trap...
I tear up too! Along with the Twilight Bark in 101 Dalmatians.
I miss mouse world. Nowadays it’s all human sized animals.

Especially back then, there was a time before the internet when the world just relayed messages, I had walkie talkies to keep in touch with some friends and they’d relay back and forth across the town.
The RAS had clearly spent the past thirteen years heavily upping their global communications game. 😄 No messages in bottles here.
Man I love how the first mouse just barged in shouting McLeach took a boy ! And the other mouse immediately dropped the snack, and started transmitting, no questions asqued
These mice are sure well trained to act in an emergency
It might also be due to the fact that animals can sense danger and emotions better than we can.

I've always wondered what would happen with a Mashup between Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers organization and the Rescue Aid Society...two very similar worlds and a possible connection in the making!
the mice characters were drawn by Chris Sanders
That is the very same Chris Sanders who created wrote and directed Lilo & Stitch.
@@SFAPowerhouse some of the character design look like Cri-Kee from Mulan, some from Lilo & Stitch
Did you find it a little jarring seeing Chris Sanders mice and Marahute contrasting the traditionally Disney styled characters?
@@sakurashy8492 If you saw Lilo & Stitch, maybe.
Is it me or is the guy at the computer just tapping the same key/button over and over again
chris winfield yeah? And? What if that's all he needed?
IT Admin here, this is 100% what 95% of people do when the computer doesn’t computer the way they expect.
I love this scene
I was fortunate to watch the sequel before the original
Cool scene!
I love watching her the part where the arrow goes from relay station a relay station on the global to New York City to the Rescue Aid Society Headquarters at the UN building.
Wish there was a third one...
Jesus christ this is nostalgic
I know I’m gonna get trolled for saying this, but I would love for them to do another rescuers movie. On one hand, that’s a tall order, because Bob Newhart and Ava Caboor are no longer with us. So we would either have to recast them. Or come up with a new concept. Personally, I like the idea of an international community dedicated to rescues. With agents operating in every country. So I suppose you could do it as an anthology. Or pick two agents that travel the world working in different field offices.
I blame this sequence completely for my addiction to mechanical keyboards

Awesome alert system!
That'd be my friend all excited at 0:16.
Anybody else get their ASMR triggered by this scene?
That's the nostalgia bursting out.
Somehow this entire movie is full of extremely satisfying sound design. For example the bugs in the opening of the movie give me the asmr.

What's ASMR?
Autonomous sensory meridian response:
Basically that tingly sensation that runs down your spine.

also a bit of that "Warm feeling" :)
Imagine if humans in the real world were as competent and altruistic as these mice. But no, we fail kids in both this and worse situations 99.9 percent of the time.

1:21 Were the Hawaiian mice dialing a legitimate number for the computer guy to respond to?
Before communications satellites became widespread, people used to use shortwave radios. They’d bounce off of the ionosphere and extend the range.
Antiques by today’s standards.
In the old days before amber alert 🚨
Yup basically
I practically loved cartoons about mice or rats that are civilized as the humans but tried to hide from them so they won't be discovered. And use thier tools like small objects as well abandoned but they use for them to make it more useful for them with their intelligence. And not to mention they are billions of mice or rats all over the globe as well like humans.
