Audience Member OK it is darker than I remember but what a delightful voice cast and story. Two thumbs up... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Dale R Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor voice two mice from the Rescue Aid Society that try to save a little girl from her abductor Madame Medusa. This is the first Disney animated movie to be successful enough to earn a sequel. I think the voice actors in this movie do a great job. It is nice to have Mr. Newhart and Ms. Gabor’s iconic voices in a Disney movie. Again, the child character that they are saving, Penny, her purpose in the movie is to look and sound cute while you feel sorry for her and I don’t like it. Madame Medusa, the villain, is not a good villain and is mostly forgettable. The supporting characters are likable and the story works well enough. I’m not sure why the sequel happened from just watching this movie (I know it was money), but I think it is worth a watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Brent A 50% rating ... Fairly decent entry for Disney, but not necessarily the most memorable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Matthew M A movie with such a charm and the best Disney movie from the 1970s. While the plot is a bit thin it's still a very enjoyable watch with likeable and entertaining characters. Benard and Bianca especially have great chemistry. Medusa might not be one of the most memorable villains but still an enjoyable character. A few of the scenes with Penny are a little sappy but still heartwarming. One of those movies that leaves you with a nice feeling with you finish. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Trafalgar L "The Rescuers" is a film adapted from the novels "The Rescuers" and "Miss Bianca" by Margery Sharp. The film's plot is about two intrepid members of the all mouse Rescue Aid Society who are sent to rescue a little girl who has been kidnapped and held hostage on a rotting riverboat by a greedy pawn shop owner. This is probably one of the more darker Disney films out there. Its themes involve child abduction, abuse, and abandonment but it does indeed have a powerful message about faith and self worth. It's also a reminder that people like Madame Medusa indeed exist, and that they will use who and whatever to get what they want. It's a cautionary tale about being careful with who you trust, but it's cleverly disguised as a family film. The fact that it came out after Walt Disney's passing and was a box office and critical hit is indeed a miracle. Because the company had been in a crisis up until then. I highly recommend this movie, but it may be off putting for anyone under the age of 6. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review liz R Utterly charming. One of my favourite Disney animated films. Friendship, comedy, rescues, city and swamp both captured beautifully. A treat.
