Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Rescuers is the 23rd entry in the Disney Animated Canon. Two mice, Miss Bianca (Eva Gabor) and Bernard (Bob Newhart), travel around the world to "R - E - S - C - U - E" cute human children while dealing with their own Unresolved Sexual Tension. The film was based on a series of children's books by Margery Sharp. The main similarities are with the first two books, where an orphan girl called Patience is kidnapped and held as a cleaning slave by a cruel diamond-obsessed Duchess.The Rescuers was released in 1977. The flamboyantly evil Madame Medusa (Geraldine Page) is trying to get her hands on the world's largest diamond hidden in a gloomy swamp. Needing someone who will fit in a tiny grotto, she kidnaps a disconsolate orphan girl named Penny (Michelle Stacy). Penny sends out a Message in a Bottle asking for help, which is intercepted by the all-mouse Rescue Aid Society, who for some reason, do not put it somewhere the police might find it while they send out their own agents. Bianca (Eva Gabor) and Bernard (Bob Newhart) are then sent out to save her, with help from an albatross named Orville (Jim Jordan) and a dragonfly named Evinrude (James MacDonald).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })What makes the movie interesting in a Real Life sense is how it came during a time when Disney was facing changing fortunes. The film was almost a reflection of how the Disney company was facing up to the death of its founder — the late '70s Disney movies tended to be considerably darker than their forebears, reaching a nadir with the next movie, The Fox and the Hound. These movies both contained utterly gut-wrenching examples of Parental Abandonment. And Madame Medusa's casual nastiness towards Penny in the first movie ("What makes you think anyone would want a homely little girl like you?") comes up against the more outlandish behavior of any Disney villain in history simply because as a verbal shiv, to a freaking child, it has no equal (well, maybe one or two). On the technical side, this film was the first Disney animated film to move away from the hard scratchy outline look that was the norm for Disney animation since 101 Dalmatians thanks to improvements of xerography processing technology to allow a softer look. It was also one of the few box office successes for Disney in the post-Walt/pre-Renaissance era, being the highest grossing animated film of all time until one of its directors, Don Bluth, challenged Disney with An American Tail nearly a decade later. In addition, this helped give rise to Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers due to originally being a series based off the movie until Down Under was greenlit, at which point Tad Stones helped mold the series into what it was. Most importantly, it was the last film Walt Disney himself had even the smallest bit of involvement in whatsoever, as the earliest plans for it began two years before his death.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })It was followed up by a sequel in 1990.

Talking Animal: Watching the movie, it would seem to be left uncertain whether anyone other than Penny can actually understand the animals in the series. However, Word of God ("Disney's Wonderful World of Reading", 1977) states that the only reason Rufus the cat never told another child or adult at the orphanage about what had happened to Penny was that nobody asked him. Notably, the crocodiles don't talk, though. | |

| The Rescuers / Disney / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Bianca's perfume. She and Bernard have an Oh, Crap! moment when Brutus and Nero follow the scent and find their hiding spot in Medusa's boat, but later on they realize that they can use it as bait to lure them in a cage, so that they won't chase after Penny for trying to escape. It works like a charm in the climax to take Brutus and Nero out of the fight. Penny's teddy bear; Medusa puts the Devil's Eye diamond in it to smuggle out of the bayou. Luke's potent "swamp juice" also proves to be strong enough to bump-start the "swampmobile". | |

Kick the Dog: Madame Medusa's line "What makes you think anyone would want a homely little girl as you?" after pretty much saying she's not going to take Penny back to the orphanage, as she promised. It's a line almost shocking in its cruelty towards a young child, especially when you remember how Medusa throws it at Penny without even thinking about it. | |

| The Rescuers / Disney / int_35f57671 | comment |
Minion with an F in Evil: Mr. Snoops is not willing to keep Penny down in the cave when the tide is rising. He also suggests to just make a fortune off the diamonds she has brought up. And unlike Medusa, who scares Penny, Penny knows that his threats are empty bluffs, and the worst he does is tell her not to sass him. | |

Adult Fear | |
| The Rescuers / Disney / int_46118dc5 | comment |
Adult Fear: Penny's entire situation: Rufus tells the mice that Medusa offered Penny a ride, but Penny wouldn't have been foolish enough to take a ride from a "trashy lady" like her. Which likely means that Penny had to be taken by force and even though she is a Plucky Girl, she's also small enough for Snoops to drag her around by the arm. The police haven't found any leads and have closed the case, assuming Penny has run away. Then we find out that Medusa and Snoops kidnapped Penny so that she could go into a tide-filled cave, due to being small enough to fit, and seek a diamond. Penny is in danger of drowning or even being sucked out to sea through a hole in the cave, as well as running through a dangerous swamp on at least one occasion. | |

Panty Shot: Penny is seen in her underwear twice (played completely innocently in both cases). First, the alligators rip her panties by accident when catching her for Medusa, and second, she shows off said ripped panties to Bernard and Bianca as a demonstration of how nasty Medusa's alligators can be. Medusa has two: once when she's on the chair screaming about the mice and once when the fireworks are used as a diversion when Penny's starting up the swamp-mobile. | |

Repeating so the Audience Can Hear: Madame Medusa does this when getting the phone call from Mr. Snoops in her pawn shop. It provides exposition for the audience as well as clues for our heroes who happen to be around at the right time. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| The Rescuers / Disney / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Evinrude, the name of the leaf-propelling dragonfly in the first movie, is a well-known manufacturer of boat engines. Could also be considered a Shout-Out. Same with Orville, the albatross, who is named after Orville of the Wright brothers, inventors of the first powered aircraft. It would be criminal to forget Madame Medusa's pet crocodiles Nero and Brutus. Medusa herself qualifies since she's ostensibly named for a malevolent Greek monster. | |

Awesome by Analysis: Bianca looks at Penny's watered-down note from the battle, which has a lot of ocean water stains and bad spelling. She deduces that since it's a letter to Morningside Orphanage, that Penny must be a little girl, and that she's in "terrible trouble". Later on, when she and Bernard inspect Penny's box of items at the orphanage, they figure out that she isn't there because of the note that says "hold on until further notice" and that she wasn't adopted because she didn't take her stuff with her. | |

Bowdlerization | |
| The Rescuers / Disney / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: In two frames of the movie in its theatrical release, when Bernard and Bianca are riding Orville, going down from the building they were on, one building next to them has an image of a live-action naked woman in one of the windows. Disney found this out prior to the film's initial VHS release and had the images removed (all subsequent home video releases, except the early prints of the 1999 VHS and Laserdisc, feature the edited version). According to animator Tom Sito, on his Facebook page, the image was put in by background artist Annie Guenther. A late-70s/early-80s episode of The Wonderful World of Disney about flight featured an excerpt from the scene in question, complete with a topless woman. This episode aired when VCRs were starting to take off, and was rerun in syndication in the late-80s after VCRs became common, so the fact that it took nearly 20 years for the public to find this out is an oddity. | |

What You Are in the Dark: It's really subtle, Bernard singing the RAS anthem by himself just outside the meeting hall. When Bianca sees him doing that, that is enough proof for her of how deeply he values the organization's ideals. Bernard was merely the janitor at the time, and the other representatives/agents who were in the meeting hall were being far less reverent of the anthem. | |

Recycled Animation | |
| The Rescuers / Disney / int_b0b8970e | comment |
Recycled Animation: The shots of Medusa driving may have used recycled cels from 101 Dalmatians given that she drives the exact same car as Cruella de Vil. Either that or they just recycled the rotoscope model. Several voice clips are repeated throughout the movie, two notable clips by Medusa and Bianca respectively being "Snoops? Snoops, get down here!" and "Help! Bernard!" Some shots of Penny running through the swamp during an unsuccessful escape attempt are re-used from a scene of Mowgli running through the jungle. Bambi can be seen grazing with his mother in the "Someone is Waiting for You" scene. The shot of Brutus holding Penny in his mouth with Penny angrily saying "Put me down, Brutus!" is reused twice within the film, but in different settings (first on the riverboat, and then near the Black Hole.) Some of the swamp animals' walk/run cycles when charging towards the riverboat, most notably Gramps the turtle, Deadeye the rabbit, and Luke (whose run cycle and position looks very Hanna-Barbera-esque.) | |

Maybe Ever After | |
| The Rescuers / Disney / int_b97c2cfb | comment |
Maybe Ever After: Bernard and Bianca don't explicitly become a couple, but there are clear hints of an attraction between them and they stay working together, while also being very affectionate to each other. They get together in the sequel, although it's implied they have been dating for a while before getting engaged. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Rescuers / Disney / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The alligators have a significant three-tone brass motif, used for dramatic effect. The theme is, in fact, snitched from The Rite of Spring, used in Fantasia at the dramatic victory of the Tyrannosaurus. A fitting Mythology Gag, come to think of it. | |

Next Sunday A.D.: Implied, for the ending at any rate. The wall calendar at the Rescue Aid Society at the end of the film says "Friday 13 January". The movie was released on 22 June 1977 and there was indeed a Friday the 13th in January 1978. | |

Nice Mice: In this world, mice are so nice that they run a planet-wide, clandestine search-and-rescue agency just so they can help people. Miss Bianca and Bernard stand out even in this company, risking life and limb for total strangers (who aren't even the same species as them!). | |
