The Rescuers is one of those classic Disney films that tends to be forgotten or not even heard of. It’s a great story of adventure, bravery, and the characters are very memorable.
A little girl named Penny has been taken by an evil ad greedy lady named Madame Medusa to find the world’s largest diamond: the Devil’s Eye. Frightened and desperate to get home, Penny sends a message in a bottle asking for help. After a long journey, the bottle finally washes up in the harbour of New York, where a group of international mice called the Rescue Aid Society are quick to act. Two agents, Miss Bianca and Mr Bernard are given the assignment of finding Penny and rescuing her. But Penny’s message has been damaged by its watery journey, making it almost impossible to read or gain any information from. Not sure where to start, Bianca and Bernard go to Penny’s home at Morningside Orphanage to get more information. The two mice then realise that they are in for more than they bargained for when they meet the trashy and insane Madame Medusa and her pet crocodiles Nero and Brutus. Between the crocs and the sinking boathouse where Penny is kept, it’s going to be harder to escape than they ever imagined.
The Rescuers is such a cute little movie, it’s hard to believe that there are some “Disney geeks” out there who have never seen it. It’s filled with memorable characters, action, suspense, and one of the most dramatic villains since Cruella De Vil. Madame Medusa actually has the same car as Cruella!
The great mix of characters is what makes this film so great. You’ve got a superstitious mouse, a carefree and stylish mouse, an innocent little girl, a speedy dragonfly, an albatross who doubles as a plane, and two of the fattest crocs you’ve ever seen.
Featuring the voice talents of Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor, The Rescuers is a wonderful Disney film filled with action, suspense, danger, romance, and adventure. Another timeless Disney classic.
