The Rescuers is a Disney animated feature film about two mice who are on a mission to save a young girl from a woman and her assistant who are holding her captive and forcing her to search for a diamond down in a cavern that only she can fit in. The little girl, Penny, was an orphan and longs for a family, the only real "family" she has is her stuffed bear teddy. The villainous is Medusa, I loved her as the bad guy, she's kind of like a cruella without the furs. Seriously other than that they're like twin sisters lol. Outreagous driving, mean over the top behavior all the time and bumbling idiots for assistants. Our protagonists, the mice, are really awesome characters, they are sweet honest caring creatures that embark on this mission to rescue this poor orphan from this torture. The fast paced action scenes are well done, not too intense so that the target audience, children, won't be afraid, but still fairly fast paced and busy. I don't think your children will become bored if you want to show this one to them, I think they'll be interested and very entertained. I still enjoy watching it and I'm getting ready to head off to college, like just about all Disney films, this movie has no age limits, anyone can and will enjoy this film. 8/10 for The Rescuers.

The Rescuers is absolute classic Disney from 1977. Telling the tale of two mice from the Rescue Aid Society who set out to rescue little orphan Penny who has been held prisoner by evil Madame Medusa. Easily of the best Disney animations since 1967's The Jungle Book and not surpassed, in my opinion until 1989's The Little Mermaid. With some great comedy moments and touching moments too, especially the beautiful song 'Someone's Waiting For You' sung by Penny as she loses faith in ever being rescued. Watch out for the great character 'Evinrude' the dragonfly, brilliant. It's no wonder this was my late mother's favourite Disney movie. I would seriously recommend it to anyone

The Rescuers is part of the classic Disney animation feature canon, but it looks more like a Don Bluth movie, its mouse protagonists bringing to mind Mrs. Brisby and Fievel and its overall animation style being a little sketchy (but not so sketchy as to be from the Jungle Book - 101 Dalmatians era) and having plenty of dark colors.The story is very urgent with high stakes (for a Disney animation) and at times scary for small children - there are terrifying scenes of cramped underwater caves, emotional abuse of a little girl, even a human skull being torn to bits.I liked the 70's-style romantic ballads, too. But the look, sound and pacing might be a little old-timey for the kids these days.

The Rescuers is a 1977 Disney movie and it is their 23rd animated classic in the Disney Canon. The movie opens up with a young orphan girl named Penny who is kidnapped by an evil woman who owns a pawn shop called Madame Medusa(who looks like a cross between Bette Midler and Bernadette Peters for some strange reason)who wants Penny to get the devils eye(which is a diamond that is somewhere in a cave).So Penny writes a letter and puts it in a bottle and throws it in the swamp. Meanwhile a mouse finds the message in the bottle from Penny and the film starts. We are later introduced to two mice called Bernard(voiced by Bob Newman)and Bianca(voiced by Eva Gabor who also provides the voice for Duchess the cat in The Aristocrats)who are in the rescuers red society which is a group of mice who are like private eye detectives who rescue people that are in trouble. So Bernard and Bianca are set off to find Penny and bring her back home. They meet some interesting charcthers along the way of their journey to find the little girl.Overall I have never seen this film before and I saw it with a blind eye,so I din't know what to make of it first,but to be quite frank I actually thought it was entertaining and cute. Also here is some trivia for ya Don Bluth and of course Richard Rich(who directed one of my all time favourite animated movies that is not from Disney The Swan Princess) both worked on this movie together,before they left Disney and started THERE own business against Disney Animation which is NO MORE. The film is extremely underrated and it reminded me of Basil Mouse Detective as I saw bits and pieces of that film.Overall if you love animal movies then this one isn't all that bad its cute and suitable for 6 years up. 6.1/10Out of 5 I give it a *** out of *****.
