Reviews of The Rescuers 1977
-
This is one I probably have a soft spot for from my childhood, so that makes it hard for me to make a good judgment of from any "pure" sense, but everything about this movie is a perfect delight for me. And I can't imagine too many circumstances in which a cartoon with Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor as lead mice could ever be something I wouldn't enjoy.

An absolute favourite of mine when I was young, I was utterly convinced mice did have a rescue aide society! I see it doesn't get a lot of love on Letterboxd and it baffles me, so I thought I'd give it a rewatch to see how it holds up and honestly I was just as captivated as I was when I was four.
With involvement from Wolfgang and Don Bluth (two of my favourite animators ever), I find this charming…

Engraçado que acho que esse filme, mais do que qualquer outro da Disney, talvez tenha sido o que mais marcou minha infância. As outras pessoas costumam ter Rei Leão, Aladdin, A Pequena Sereia e outros como os que marcaram. Eu também assisti esses outros filmes, mas a diferença era que eu tinha a fita VHS apenas de The Rescuers (Bernardo e Bianca) e aí, vi mais vezes. Lembro de adorar a trilha do filme e as cenas deles voando quando criança. A imaginação voava junto..

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.

This is great, the art and animation. Plus, My real name is Bernardo... :D

My first cinema experience.

Is there a cuter Disney couple than Bernard and Miss Bianca? I think not.

I had an interesting history with this film when I was younger. I saw it after its sequel, which caused me to view it in a slightly different light. That's probably why I knew less what to make of it in years past.
The Rescuers follows two mice, Bernard and Bianca, as they look for a lost girl named Penny who has disappeared from an orphanage and been taken to a remote swamp.
The Rescuers is very different from its…

Just watched the new Blu-ray release, what a charming piece of old school Disney. Maybe not them at their most "classic" but it holds up well against more obvious Disney's.
Great characters, I loved Orville the Albatross and Ervinrude the Dragonfly as a child. Great scene with the crocs and the organ.
Madame Medusa may come across as Cruella-Lite but she's still effectively evil - and she seems like she's constantly sloshed.
Class!!!
