Summary: An Overlooked Masterpiece
Review: One of the most heartwarming films that I have ever had the pleasure to watch would have to be Disney's The Rescuers. The storyline is somewhat depressing, which is why some would prefer to not watch this film and watch something a little happier. I, for one, think that this aspect of the movie makes it original. It's not your ordinary fairy tale where the princess is locked away in a high tower and Prince Charming comes to rescue her and they live happily ever after.

Instead, this movie follows a young orphan through her trials living with the unfair desperado, Madame Medusa. Two mice from the Rescue Aid Society come to Penny's (the young orphan) rescue resulting in a very cute, heartwarming film. The depressing moments in the film make the happy moments all the more cheerful and warm, making the viewer feel apart of the world instead of just watching a scene laid before them.

The art has a rough, "sketchy" feel to it. While a lot of people would find this bothersome, and a sign of pure "laziness" from the artists, I kind of find it to add feeling to the film. The "sketchy" feeling matches the mood of the entire movie, and really makes this movie stand out.

I also loved the songs from the movie. "The Journey" was a great choice in song to open the movie, some would say that it was just thrown together because there is "no animation" involved. I feel, however, that this isn't a sign of laziness, I think this was the plan. It was beautiful, it added heart to the movie even before the characters were introduced. Truly visually impressive, and the song was just beautiful and started off the story properly.
Along with that the other songs fit seamlessly into the movie. Never was there a dull moment, the songs weren't too long, and weren't too short. They never seemed out of place, and they were always beautiful songs and easy on the ear. Truly wonderful music.

Wonderful story, intriguing plot, charming characters, beautiful music all combined together to make one masterpiece film. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to any Disney fan - actually, I take that back, not just Disney fans would like this movie, anyone looking for a warming movie should watch this through. A true, overlooked masterpiece.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Widescreen--sort of
Review: Potential buyers should take notice that the "widescreen" presentation is achieved by matting the top and bottom of the standard "Full screen" image. I'm not sure if this is how the film was originally projected in theaters or not, but it will be immediately obvious to anyone who has viewed the VHS version of the film that you really are getting LESS picture with this release, not MORE.A full screen option would have been nice.

Also, the set-top game included is absolutely dull and would be unlikely to hold the interest of even a very young child.

It is nice to have a Disney "True-Life Adventure" tacked on, though, as well as a Silly Symphony.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent. Heart Warming.
Review: So, another mouse movie huh? I gotta admit this is one of the best movies involving mice for heros/heroines. The film basically begins when the cute, but orphan, Penny atempts to send an S.O.S. message-in-a-bottle to the New York orpanage. Instead, it washes under a fishing dock in a harbor where a bunch of mice (who luckily happen to be in the area) find it and send it to the Rescue Aid Society (a hidden organization run by mice who dedicate thier lives to help humans in danger). After reading the message, Bianca and Bernard (two of the would-be most famous deligates in RAS history) set out to rescue Penny from the evil Madame Medusa, a crazy, Cruela De Ville remake with 2 pet crocodiles named Nero and Brutus as henchmen. Her plan is to use Penny to find a huge diamond because Penny is the only one who can squeeze into the cave where the diamond is. Eventullay, the 2 heroic rodents charter a flight to Devil's Baiyou (Medusa's hiding place) on the wings of Orville (an albatross who's obviously been in the air force before). Anyhow, this movie can be both funny and sad. Like the scene in which Penny clearly gives up hope of escaping Medusa's clutches (gosh, when that part happened, my eyes watered tears like a public fountain)
Buy this movie and enjoy watching Penny getting rescued and all, I gaurentee ya' you'll be as happy as can be by the end!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Swamp is no place for 2 mice named Bernard and Miss Bianca
Review: Swamp is no place for 2 mice named Bernard and Miss Bianca The rescuers is high adventure and comedy that the whole family enjoys. We have given this movie 4 stars and rank it 11th out of 41 which is like a B. The stars of this story are the two mice who set out to rescue Penny from the evil Madame Medusa. They fly to the assignment via Orville Albatross. Imagine two mice having to deal with cut throat crooks and gators in the swamp. There is fun, mayhem, dry subtle humor from Newhart and slap stick.

We had a lot of fun by gathering the family together to rank the 41 Disney movies we have that include some cartoon work. All the kids, ages 6 to 27, participated along with mother and dad. Peter Pan is no Codfish, we rank it #2. Lion King was selected number 1 of the 41 as the family favorite, but narrowly. Peter Pan was 2. Pete's Dragon 3, Beauty & the beast 4, Sleeping Beauty 5, Snow White 6, Robin Hood 7, 101 Dalmatians 8, Fox and the hound 9 and Cinderella is 10th

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Pure Disney Masterpiece! Full Of Fun For The Whole Family!
Review: The first time I saw this movie I fell in love with it, it bacme my favorite Disney film of all time. The two main characters Bernard & Bionca were the most likable of all Disney characters & Madam Medusa though not the most evil Disney villin was pretty scary. The story starts with the kidnapping of young orphaned Penny who was taken straight out of a public orphanege. When the authorites give up on her search the Rescue-Aid Society which is run entirely by rodents decide to send two agents to find her pretty Bionca volunteers at once and her chosen parter is Bernard basicly the custodian for the Rescue-Aid Society.

The two find that Madam Medusa, a pawn shop owner kidnapped the girl and has hidden her in her boat which is located in a desserted swamp. The two mice fly to the swamp on a gull were they find a young Penny trying escape the evil Medusa put is caught by Medusa's pet crocadiles. Bernard & Miss Bionca befriend a group of rodents who help the mice get on board the boat. There they over-hear that Medusa kidnapped Penny so that she could get her hands on the largest un-cut diamond in the world, the Devil's Eye, and that Penny is the only one who can fit in the cave. When the two help Penny get the diamond they call upon their rodent friends to help them catch & turn Medusa over to the police.

The movie was followed by a sequel in 1990 "The Rescuers Down Under" which was probally the only ever decent Disney sequel.

Rating: 5 stars
