Editorial Review:

What can two little mice possibly do to save an orphan girl who's fallen into evil hands? With The Rescuers 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 they 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 try to help Penny find the diamond and escape from Medusa. This somewhat dark, classic 1977 animated Disney film is based on Margery Sharp's book, 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 as Orville Albatross. The sequel is The Rescuers Down Under.

• A DISNEY CLASSIC!!
  I loved The Rescuers as a child, it was my favourite Disney movie. I bought it on dvd for my son two weeks ago(he's 3) and Its still a hit!! By far one of the best Disney films ever made. They just dont make them like this anymore.

• Lovely innocent fun
  I write these reviews for the Disney classic's not as I have something short to do, but as I re-discovered all my old Disney tapes under my bed, in practical mint condition too. And so, for the 3rd Sunday night in succession, I continued to go back to my childhood!
  The Rescuers is perhaps Disney's finest example of how to warm your heart without the perils of 'Disney-fication' (in other words, very cheesey!). But not only this, it may have been a peak for the innocence of the audience at the time. I... more info

• Great film but the picture quality needs serious improvement
  Movies like The Rescuers are simply not made anymore. Nowadays, it's all CGI with retarded, unfunny jokes, with no real seriousness or conflict to be found. The Rescuers has all that it says in the tagline - Mystery, Fun and Intrigue! Despite what others say, this truly deserves to be called a masterpiece.
  The very idea of two little mice saving an orphan girl sounds very juvenile and slushy - but here, it isn't. The Rescuers combines dark themes such as child exploitation to light refreshing comedy... more info
