Reviews of The Rescuers 1977
-
I want do embrace this film more, considering that it borrows so heavily from all my favorite filmmaking elements from the previous decade and molds them into a succinct animated film. Unfortunately, it just does not come together to anything substantive and instead exists as an set of thoughts or moments, none of which mesh narratively. I also hoped that the animation style used in the credits of the matte and watercolor look would extend beyond and influence the entire film, but it was simply not the case. The Rescuers is simply a fine animated movie, but by no means a great one.

Not one of the best Disney film I'm afraid.

This feature tells a simple story well and with aplomb, owing in large part to Don Bluth's turn as animator.

One of my favorites. Should rewatch soon.

Never saw this one as a child but I really liked it. I'm so fond of the animation - always preferred the Sword and the stone/Aristocats era of Disney animation to the 90's style. There's just something more emotive and romantic about it.
As for the film itself, we're treated to a bunch of sweet characters (Evinrude? well, he's my new hero) and some genuinely funny moments. Plus the song 'Waiting for you' caused this 23 year old some serious lip-wobbling.
There's no mistaking it: This is classic hand-drawn Disney.

been ages since I saw this film.. excellent bad guy! why are mice a Disney staple?

Not one of my favorite Disney movies. Maybe I'd enjoy it a little more these days, but there's still no way it ranks amongst the best of the Mouse House.

We're back to the features from Disney, and this one is part of the era I like to refer to as "The Fall (Into Obscurity)", when the studio had already began to see a downward trend and were really churning out movies that were less inspired and financially successful.
Where to begin? From the top of course. After a lush and very promising opening titles sequence painted on roughly textured papers, we're introduced to Bernard and Bianca (that's the title…

Fun, but certainly not one of the best Disney films, not that it tries to be. A criticism that rings true is that the animation can be a bit off putting and ugly. The story doesn't really make much sense and doesn't really develop characters, but there is something cute and charming with the final product.

Includes several fun moments--especially the travelling scenes--and some colorful characters, but the film is fairly limp dramatically. The idea is a good one though, and it would be nice to see these travelling, rescuing mice in a vehicle that takes better advantage of that.

A little trip down memory lane. Could have been 25 years or so and I still remembered some parts. Not Disneys best and a bit crude in style.

Simpaticota. Es divertido ir descubriendo ese mundo aratonado.
