The producers wanted to have all the voice actors from The Rescuers (1977) reprise their roles for the sequel. However, in the original, Orville the albatross was voiced by Jim Jordan, who died two years before this film was released. The producers didn't want to replace Jordan, so Orville was replaced with the character's brother Wilbur, voiced by John Candy. This is a reference to Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright, the inventors and pilots of the first functional airplane.

When the French bug, Francois, first greets Bianca at the fancy restaurant, he calls her "Mademoiselle Bianca." After they finish their conversation, he says, "Allow me, Madame." In French, "Mademoiselle" is used for a single woman, and "Madame" for a married or widowed woman (or for very formal address). A native French speaker, as Francois is meant to be, would never use them interchangeably.

This movie doesn't end with the Walt Disney Pictures logo, only the credits "This motion picture was created by Walt Disney Pictures" and "Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc."

In the French version of the movie (which was made in 1991), the beautiful Anne Meson-Poliakoff's Pop song "Bernard Et Bianca Au Pays Des Kangourous" can be heard during the ending credits with Patrice Tison on lead guitar, Bernard Paganotti on bass, Jean-Jacques Milteau on harmonica, Alex Perdigon, Kako Bessot and Patrick Bourgoin on brass ensemble and Charly Doll on drums & percussions. However she and the other musicians appear to be uncredited.
