Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's popularity almost led to a spin-off TV series in 1989. When the animation department green-lit The Rescuers Down Under (1990), the spin-off was reworked into Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers (1989), with Chip and Dale replacing Bernard and Miss Bianca.
- GoofsDuring the Rescue Aid Society meeting, one of the name plates says 'Africa'. Africa is a continent, not a country, and as such would not have a UN delegate.
- Quotes
Rufus: Faith is a bluebird, we see from far. It's for real and as sure as the first evening star, you can't touch it, or buy it, or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same, making things turn out right.
Penny: Can't touch it, or buy it, or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same, making things turn out right. But whoever adopts me has to adopt Teddy, too.
Rufus: Oh, they'll love him! He doesn't eat much, does he?
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits describe the journey of Penny's bottle through raging ocean waters. The entire sequence is made up of still paintings.
- Alternate versionsOn 8 January 1999, Disney issued a recall of 3.4 million copies of the home video version because two frames included an "objectionable background image", probably inserted without permission during production as an in-joke. The offending frames appear in a scene featuring a pan across an apartment: in one of the apartment windows, a picture of a topless woman can be glimpsed. This scene was intact for the original theatrical release in 1977. However, it was not in the 1992 video version because that was "made from a different print" according to a Disney spokesperson.
- ConnectionsEdited from The Jungle Book (1967)
Featured review
"The Rescuers" is my all time favorite Disney film. The story of a little orphaned girl, Penny, and the two brave mice who save her is sweet and touching. Miss Bianca is the head-turning beauty with the charming accent, and Bernard the shy janitor for the Rescue Aid Society. The voices are wonderful - Geraldine Page plays the evil Madame Medusa with such passion you can tell she loves doing it. The first movie is simply incomparable to the second one - the story about the golden eagle and the poacher just really couldn't capture my attention.
