Best movie of this year hands down!

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The Rescuers was my first ever visit to a cinema when I was just 7 years old. And it made an everlasting impression! I still think this movie was the beginning of my intense love for movies growing up. My parents didnt even have a colour tv back in the seventies, so the huge colour screen in the cinema with those enchanting mice and horrible crocodiles opened up another world for me. A world of fairy tales came alive right before my eyes. As an adult I couldnt remember much of this movie anymore except that I was really really scared of those crocodiles and that I was incredibly impressed by the whole experience. I have read all the other reviews and it struck me how many adults still cherish this movie to this very day. Because of all the other enchanting reviews I decided to see it again and to my own amazement I was swept away again by the charming characters. I got goosebumps again watching this for the first time since I was 7. I really felt like a kid again watching this adventure for young and old. There is something really simple and pure at the heart of this movie, a real love for storytelling...

The Rescuers is part of the classic Disney animation feature canon, but it looks more like a Don Bluth movie, its mouse protagonists bringing to mind Mrs. Brisby and Fievel and its overall animation style being a little sketchy (but not so sketchy as to be from the Jungle Book - 101 Dalmatians era) and having plenty of dark colors.The story is very urgent with high stakes (for a Disney animation) and at times scary for small children - there are terrifying scenes of cramped underwater caves, emotional abuse of a little girl, even a human skull being torn to bits.I liked the 70's-style romantic ballads, too. But the look, sound and pacing might be a little old-timey for the kids these days.

Adapted and embellished from a series of children's stories The Rescuers is certainly an unusual entry in Disney's animated classics canon. Most Disney animations focus on spectacle, fantasy, and iconic, lasting imagery, while the Rescuers finds a comfortable groove in gloom and darkness.Shadowing the UN building in New York is an organization called the Rescue Aid Society run by mice. A message in a bottle has floated up the Hudson and made it into their HQ. The letter is written by Penny who has been kidnapped.Miss Bianca, representing Hungary at this organisation, volunteers for the mission of retrieving her and recruits bumbling janitor Bernard as her sidekick. Eva Gabor and Bob Newhart provide the voices, and they have decent chemistry together.They soon make their way to the Bayou where Penny is being held by her captors and forced to look for a hidden treasure underground. This is where the movie ends up making no sense at all. Why would Louisiana-based crooks be so keen on kidnapping a New York-based girl to do their dirty work for them? Why did they not just get a local kid to do it? Or dig it out themselves with bigger tools? There's no logic to it all all. I kept waiting for an explanation like Penny's dad was the dead pirate buried down there but...nope!Morose, atmospheric backdrops such as windy and cold New York, tangled forests, and dark, brooding bayous sets apart the Rescuers. It's a very involving style and it makes it perfect viewing for grey Sunday afternoons.In many ways this movie feels like a prototype of Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers, and any fans of that show will no doubt enjoy the exploits of the Rescue Aid Society.

Two mice of the Rescue Aid Society (Eva Gabor and Bob Newhart) search for a little girl kidnapped by unscrupulous treasure hunters.Looking back now (2014), this film's biggest weakness is in its music. The style is very much a product of the 1970s and may not necessarily play well to today's audiences. (Other films of the era, such as "The Last Unicorn", have a similar problem.) Prior to "The Little Mermaid" in 1989, this was the last great Disney film. The use of Gabor, Pat Buttram and George Lindsey (all of whom were in "The AristoCats") was a good choice, and the animation holds up well. Some have called it "sketchy", but this seems unfair. It works for what it is and moves the plot forward just fine. We can even see the precursor of Ursula in Medusa's hair, not to mention the gators' similarity to Flotsam and Jetsam.
