Now the RAS are clearly not a very global organisation as they have to parachute in (via albatross) "Miss Bianca" and "Bernard" all the way from New York to Australia in search of the missing nine year old "Cody". What's happened to him? Well, he happened upon a trapped golden eagle high on a cliff top and released her. Whilst earning her undying affection, he also succeeded in earning the enmity of the bird's hunter "McLeach". This man, and his hapless hench-salamander "Joanna" already have a fair amount to species in their underground collection so it now falls to our determined mice and the young boy to free these critters and keep "Marahute" and her three eggs safe from this nasty poacher and his hungry pal. I quite enjoyed this. It plays a little too much to Aussie stereotype now and again, but there is plenty of fun in the adventure with some amiable characterisations - I liked "Joanna" and the rather grumpy koala - as we tear along for a quickly paced and enjoyable sequel to the 1977 story (who knew mice lived that long!?). Nope, you won't remember it for long - but it passes eighty minutes enjoyably enough.
