Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. My friend begins, "'The Rescuers Down Under' starts with a boy named Cody who lives in Australia. He's trying to rescue an animal called Marahute from poachers." What kind of animal is Marahute?

Answer: Golden eagle

She's a very rare bird, making her a target for poachers, who have already killed her mate. Golden eagles that live in the Northern Hemisphere are dark brown in color.

2. "Then Cody gets kidnapped by a poacher who's trying to capture Marahute. And he's got Jeremy Irons' voice." Not quite right. Who voices McLeach?

Answer: George C. Scott

The only other time Scott did a voice for animation was for the "Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue" anti-drug special. Scott won an Oscar for the title role in "Patton."

3. "So, the Rescue Aid Society asks Miss Bianca and Bernard to save Cody. They're married now." Are Bianca and Bernard married at the beginning at the movie?

Answer: No

Bernard is trying to propose to Miss Bianca when the call for help comes. He will try to propose throughout the film until he gets it right at the end.

Answer: Bad back

Thankfully, Wilbur's back gets better before they operate and he flies off to help Bianca and Bernard. Orville is the albatross in "The Rescuers." They are named after the Wright brothers. Wilbur is voiced by John Candy.

5. "Then the mother notices that Cody never came home and sends out searchers. They don't find him, but they do find his backpack." What do the searchers think has happpened to Cody?

Answer: He was attacked by crocodiles.

McLeach throws the backpack to the crocodiles so that the rangers will find it, mutilated, and call off the search for Cody.

Answer: He uses his tail to pick the lock.

It actually works, but he makes so much noise that Joanna comes in and catches him. Frank is a frill-necked lizard.

Answer: All of the eggs

This scene comes when McLeach is wondering how to get Cody to tell him where Marahute is. He tries to catch Joanna in the act of stealing. She only opens the box a few times but gets all the eggs. Joanna is a goanna.

Answer: Rocks

Joanna breaks her teeth and claws on them. She finally gets her "eggs" but doesn't get to eat them.

9. "So, McLeach captures Cody and Marahute, but Bernard comes to their rescue on an elephant." Nice try. What animal does Bernard really hijack?

Answer: Razorback

He uses the technique that Jake uses for subduing the python: looking it in the eyes and telling it not to give him trouble. Jake is a kangaroo mouse that helps the Rescuers.

10. "The Rescuers save Cody, Marahute is safe, and McLeach ends up dying, though I hope Joanna didn't. And that's the basic story." How does McLeach die?

Answer: He goes over a waterfall.

Like Disney villains Gaston, Maleficent, Frollo, Ratigan, and the Queen from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," McLeach dies by falling from a height. Joanna doesn't die. The film ends with Marahute's eggs hatching.
