Editorial Review:
From Walt Disney's original team of legendary master animators who brought you THE JUNGLE BOOK comes a thrilling adventure and timeless tale overflowing with action, suspense, and extraordinary little heroes you can't help but love! Join the shy but brave mouse Bernard and his glamorous partner Miss Bianca -- two tiny heroes on a great big mission to save a young girl named Penny who has sent an urgent call for help! Taking off on the wings of their trusted albatross friend Orville, Bernard and Bianca soar to the marshy swamp of Devil's Bayou. There, they find themselves on the riverboat hideout of the hilariously evil Madame Medusa, who needs Penny to retrieve the world's largest diamond! But before Bernard and Bianca can bring Penny safely home, they'll have to enlist the help of some spirited local swamp critters in order to outwit Medusa ... and outrun her pet crocodiles Nero and Brutus. Featuring the unforgettable voice talents of Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor, as well as Oscar(R)-nominated music, THE RESCUERS is high-flying fun you'll want to share with your family again and again!
Description of The Rescuers:
What can two little mice possibly do to save an orphan girl who's fallen into evil hands? With a little cooperation and faith in oneself, anything is possible! As members of the mouse-run International Rescue Aid Society, Bernard and Miss Bianca respond to orphan Penny's call for help. The two mice search for clues and, with the help of an old cat named Rufus, track Penny to the clutches of the evil Madame Medusa in a dilapidated ship in Devil's Bayou. It turns out that Medusa is using Penny to locate and retrieve the Devil's Eye Diamond--a stone she'll stop at nothing to possess. With a cunning plan, courageous acts, cooperation from local animal life, and lots of faith, Bernard and Miss Bianca help Penny find the diamond and escape from Medusa. The result of their adventure is that Bernard and Miss Bianca become close friends and Penny gets adopted. This somewhat dark, classic 1977 animated Disney film is based on Margery Sharp's The Rescuers and Miss Bianca, and features the Academy Award-nominated song "Someone's Waiting for You." Voice talents include Eva Gabor as Miss Bianca, Bob Newhart as Bernard, Geraldine Page as Madame Medusa, and Jim Jordan (radio's Fibber McGee) as Orville Albatross. Followed by the sequel The Rescuers Down Under. (Ages 5 to 11) --Tami Horiuchi
The Rescuers Reviews:
Disney's The Rescuers 
2009-08-17 - I love this movie, I grew up watching it and now I love that I can share the memories and story with my kids!
Just as good as I remember!!
2009-07-15 - A MUCH underrated Disney cartoon, that came out maybe 20 years ago or so, featuring the voices of Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor, with older viewers maybe picking up on the voice of Jim JOrdan as Orville the Albatross (Jim Jordan was "Fibber Magee" on radio). A lot of other talented voices along with wonderful animation and a good story line makes this a must see for the young and old alike.

hilarious form of dark animation
2009-05-13 - Being an non-American, this movie was just introduced by one of my friends to me. He said it was one of the scariest Disney Animation for kids, but hilarious for adults. I gave it a try and just finished watching it, and man I like this movie. It is funny, lively and adventurous. I like all the characters even the villainous ones like the Medusa and the crocodiles. The animation and the voice fit perfectly. The music are cute and beautiful. This movie is the animation version of Indiana Jones. Little scary for kids but who cares? A little scary adventure is what all kids need.
