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.
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.
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.
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).
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
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.
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.
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.
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."
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 ☺️
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.
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 👍🏽.
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!
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?
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 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!
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 :)
Until now I didn't realize RAS stood for anything. I used to think the "ras ras ras" thing was just meant to make the human think the screen was glitching up or something, so that they would be more likely to walk away for the phone. But it's actually an acronym for "Rescue Aid Society"
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.

Was the movie was the best Disney film ever came out in the 90s this thing took them forever to make Disney company and gave us Easter eggs were just Disney was actually first started it was the great was the acting it was the sound effects and music
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 headcanon that this universe takes place in the same one as Secret of NIMH and these mice are all descendants of the intelligent mice who were presumed dead after they blew away in the air vent.
Nah, the universe of the Rescuers movies and NIMH aren't compatible at all. In NIMH, mice are illiterate by default, whereas in this world, they are not only literate but have complex human-like societies.
@@Marbles471 That doesn't really disprove what I said. The NIMH mice might have bred with regular mice and created a new generation of super-intelligent mice that created this society. After all, that's what the rats planned to do in Thorn Valley.
You know, was it really necessary to send for help halfway 'round the world? Logically, they should have RAS agents they could dispatch locally... Oh well. :)
Are there no other children being kidnapped elsewhere? And wouldn’t it be easier to tip off the Australian human cops? Why do mice care so much about the children of a species that sets traps for them and experiments on them?…. Don’t know.
Кино
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)
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.

The RAS had clearly spent the past thirteen years heavily upping their global communications game. 😄 No messages in bottles here.

I agree, never turn away from whats right.
Not many people today use M code, it is easy to over look it.
They'd have a whole hacker group and be able to see through cameras and even control drones remotely

Makes you wonder how efficiently the RAS now reacts now that the internet dominates the communication world....
+Jarrett Smith Pretty much like the human sociatey does now, a lot faster and much more efficient compaired to the early 90's.
That would so make for an epic sequel. Imagine if Bernard and Bianca’s descendants became agents for the Rescue Aid Society.

It was the basis of what made Pixar's movies
But CGI wasn’t really made until 1995 of Toy Story.
Drew Beshansky A full CGI movie at least. Rescuers Down Under proved a movie can be made using CGI
I honestly found this ONE scene better than the entire first Rescuers film.
I remember this scene especially with the pressing of the buttons effects
One of best scenes ever, seeing how that emergency telegram made its way from Australia to New York in record time.
Listen to that score, man. Can we get more music like this in movies? Please?
The beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid!
I loved the sound effects as a kid. All the knobs and button sounds were so real.
This is the best damn representation of how telecommunication networks work, even today.
This scene didn't really wow me as a kid. Now that I'm older, this is such a cool scene:)
Wow! This is so nostalgic! Even though I grew up in the 2000s, this was one of my favorite movies to watch!
Love the fact that a decades old crashed Japanese Zero's radio can contact a computer all they way in Hawaii.

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.
Was the movie was the best Disney film ever came out in the 90s this thing took them forever to make Disney company and gave us Easter eggs were just Disney was actually first started it was the great was the acting it was the sound effects and music
Cool scene!
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.
Eventually animals will evolve
Calling all mice! Calling all mice! 0:25
rw: "HELP!,HELP!,HELP!, SEND FOR HELP McLeach took the boy!,HE TOOK THE LITTLE BOY !, SEND FOR HELP!"
I don't know how else to explain High Frequency communications
Nice!
Just out of curiousity, is there some sort of name for this sort of relay? A "Trope" for it, if you will?
I'm sure if you google Indiana Jones, something will come up.
Why would it come up for those keywords?
They did a similar montage in Indiana Jones. Sorry for the triple comment, by the way. My phone is crazy.
Ah, no problem. Thank you for your help.
TVtropes.org lists it under "Gondor calls for aid".
I headcanon that this universe takes place in the same one as Secret of NIMH and these mice are all descendants of the intelligent mice who were presumed dead after they blew away in the air vent.
Nah, the universe of the Rescuers movies and NIMH aren't compatible at all. In NIMH, mice are illiterate by default, whereas in this world, they are not only literate but have complex human-like societies.
@@Marbles471 That doesn't really disprove what I said. The NIMH mice might have bred with regular mice and created a new generation of super-intelligent mice that created this society. After all, that's what the rats planned to do in Thorn Valley.
@fubukifangirl Instead of being captured by NIMH, Martin went to work for the RAS.
How did Titanic and other ships send messages by morse code ?

McLeach took a boy.
EXCELLENT FILM 10 STARS
Baitmouse: (very fast and excited) Help! Help! Help! Send for help! McLeach took a boy! He took a little boy! Send for help!
What would it be like to have an outfit, that would do that. RAS in real life
You know, was it really necessary to send for help halfway 'round the world? Logically, they should have RAS agents they could dispatch locally... Oh well. :)
Obviously, they wanted to call up the RAS' elite agents, Miss Bianca and Bernard.
Are there no other children being kidnapped elsewhere? And wouldn’t it be easier to tip off the Australian human cops? Why do mice care so much about the children of a species that sets traps for them and experiments on them?….
Don’t know.
@@infidelheretic923 Because unlike Humans, they're not dicks.
That and Cody is genuinely caring for animals. That counts for something.
