The Rescuers	comment	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).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 what the Disney company was facing following 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 this film ("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. 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 an upgrade in the studio's xerography inking process, enabling the use of softer colored linework on finished animation. The film's crew likewise reflects the studio's increasing integration of new talent, marking a more distinct break with its Walt-produced output than The Aristocats or Robin Hood. While members of the "Nine Old Men", such as Wolfgang Reitherman, Milt Kahl (animating the lion's share of Madame Medusa before his retirement in 1976) and John Lounsbery continued to helm much of the film's storyboarding and animation, this film nonetheless features some of the earliest Mouse-released animation by later Disney Renaissance juggernauts such as Glen Keane and Ron Clements, marking the earliest foreshadowing of the studio's later upswing. Similarly, this film 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.It was followed up by a theatrical sequel in 1990, becoming the only non-anthology Disney animated film to receive a sequel in the Disney Animated Canon until Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen thirty years later.

The Rescuers / int_17a45ff5	comment	Misplaced Wildlife: Albatrosses aren't normally found north of the equator, although they were present in Bermuda in prehistoric times. What one of them is doing in New York is anyone's guess. Depending on where Devil's Bayou is actually located, Brutus and Nero may be misplaced wildlife if they are crocodiles rather than alligators (which is controversial). Technically, most bayous are not located south of the Florida panhandle (though other swampy ecosystems certainly are), and there are no wild species of crocodiles north of the southernmost portions of Florida, while American alligators inhabit everywhere from Texas to Florida to North Carolina in the continental United States. Of course, Brutus and Nero seemingly being domesticated might explain why they are possibly misplaced.

The Rescuers / int_1cc2ea8d	comment	Villain Ball: The moment that entirely undoes Medusa's plan to get the Devil's Eye is when she sews it into Penny's teddy bear. This is despite the fact that she was holding the bear hostage to get Penny to cooperate, and Penny is grappling with her to get it back after she delivers the diamond. When Bernard and Bianca successfully trip Medusa and incapacitate her briefly, Penny runs to grab her teddy bear and make an escape as the swamp animals launch their attack on the older woman, who murderously tries to stop the little girl. If Medusa had just handed off the bear, then she would only have to worry about Snoops potentially following her because Penny would have just escaped with Bernard and Bianca back to New York on the swampmobile. As it is, she ends up trapped on her riverboat's pipe with no diamond in hand and her gators no longer loyal.

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.

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.

The Rescuers / int_59907e4f	comment	Police Are Useless: Zigzagged. Rufus says that the police couldn't find Penny because she just vanished; he's the only one who saw Medusa offer her a ride which allows Bianca and Bernard to find out that Medusa spirited off Penny to Lousiana. Obviously, if adults could talk to cats, they would have followed up on that lead. When Penny actually escapes from Medusa, however, offscreen the police closest to the bayou were competent in getting her back to New York and delivering the Devil's Eye to the proper authorities. It helped that the case gained huge publicity on learning that Penny found the largest diamond in the United States.

The Rescuers / int_a49914aa	type	Bowdlerization
The Rescuers / 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. Then again...There are a number of reasons it wasn't known until 1999. 1) Disney apparently had more than one print of the movie and the 1992 home release of the film was apparently one of these other prints that didn't have the objectionable images (it's entirely possible that the scene from the Wonderful World of Disney was from a similar—or even the same—print). 2) The film runs at 30 frames a second, the frames are not consecutive and the image appears on the bottom of the screen the first time and near the top the second, so it isn't visible during normal viewing. 3) Those images would have only been found by sheer luck. Only by pausing exactly on one of these two frames could one see the image at all, the frames are in a rather exciting scene (not a place where a tape is likely to be paused)—and then notice a small background detail on a television screen that was (at the time) only two feet or less across—and pausing VCRs often made the screen blurry, which makes picking out details even harder. In fact, the image is so hard to find (aside from going frame-by-frame during that scene—which makes no sense unless you know the image is there) that it wasn't until a spokeswoman from Disney itself announced that the recall was happening due to two of the frames held an "inappropriate image" that anyone knew anything was amiss—whereupon, of course, the curious went through the movie frame-by-frame to find out what that image was. Some skeptics believe that while the announcement was true, it was only made to boost sales of the video, which was sure to become an instant collector's item.

When the mice trip Medusa up so that she drops the bear with the diamond inside, Penny grabs them and flees, Medusa murderously pursuing her and trying to shoot her. When Medusa spots Penny in the swampmobile, Medusa draws a bead on her. Penny and the mice see her, Bernard warning her to look out. Had not the owl assisting Penny stuck a lit firecracker in the barrel of the gun, thereby destroying it, Medusa might have succeeded in actually shooting and killing the little girl.

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. Rufus made it a point to comfort Penny whenever she was upset and they were alone. She in turn sneaks him snacks from mealtime as thanks. Later, when he sees Bernard and Bianca exploring her things, he reassures them that he's too old to chase them but tells them they can't stay or he'll be kicked out.

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's 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.)

The Rescuers / int_e368e1bc	comment	Wiper Start: In the finale, when Penny tries to start up Madame Medusa's swampmobile, she activates the horn instead of the spark lever. Justified as she is actually too young to operate such a vehicle.

The Rescuers / int_eabb8130	type	Swamps Are Evil
The Rescuers / int_eabb8130	comment	Swamps Are Evil: The film is set in a wild, untamed coastal swamp known only as the Devil's Bayou, filled with predatory gators, thick sucking mud, and miles of confusing, flooded undergrowth. Nobody lives here except animals and the half-crazed Madame Medusa, who dwells in a decrepit old paddle-steamer that's been beached on a sandbar in the middle of the water and lives with a pair of half-tame gators called Brutus and Nero. But the real evil part is the Black Hole; a cave inside an island that has largely sunk into the water, leaving the only entry a small hole barely big enough for a child to be lowered down into it via bucket on a rope. The tight, narrow confines are filled with pirate treasure... and the remains of a pirate crew that killed themselves fighting over it. Worse, there's an opening below the tideline, so when the high tide comes, the whole cave floods. And this is where Medusa sends Penny to look for the Devil's Eye Diamond, leaving her scrabbling through the dark, dank depths, constantly wondering if it's getting to the point when the water will come surging in to fill the cave and drown her.

The Rescuers / int_f96f188c	comment	Drives Like Crazy: Madame Medusa. In Cruella De Vil's car, even. This is possibly an artifact of when she was originally intended to be Cruella De Vil. Implied with Bianca. When Bernard grumbles that they just went through a red light, Bianca replies that she does it all the time. Justified with Penny who has never driven before; when the group gets the swampmobile jumpstarted, her first concern is getting as far away from Medusa as possible and gaining control over the motorboat. She spins in large circles for a while as Medusa clings onto a rope tethered to the back, only getting the hang of it once that snaps and they lose the extra weight.

Though given the latter is paddling off on a flimsy wooden floorboard, with the clothes on his back virtually burned off, and in the middle of a dangerous swamp, it's dubious he'll get far...

Bianca says, "Waking him up in the middle of the night — wouldn't you be grumpy too?". However, Bernard claims he didn't wake him up; the lion just woke up of his own accord.
