Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
MarkAmovie I actually enjoyed this movie as a child, but after watching it as an adult I was disappointed. The songs are really bland and every time they had the girl on screen I just wanted to get back to the mice rescuers. They are the heart of the film but they never reach the summit like other Disney classics. The music is bland and the villain is a copy of other Disney villains. The movie just does not make sense. However, I have to stress that the kids will love it just as I did as a child. Who doesn't want to be rescued by little mice. So put into context as a child film, this one will hit all the right notes, but for adults it's a miss.
idonnowho And that's saying a LOT, since, while I usually have a pretty open attitude towards most (though not all) films I watch, animated or otherwise, I often find at least a FEW things that I, myself, probably would've done differently.This has been at the #1 spot as my favorite animated Disney movie of all time since at LEAST very early 2009. Now, nearly a full decade later, it STILL holds up quite well, and I can still remember those good happy times of falling in love with the film and its characters (heck! Even Madame Medusa, herself, while obviously a mean, nasty woman for the most parts, provides quite a few laughs with her hilarious over the top eccentricity and hamminess! THOUGH I WOULD NEVER TRULY BE "IN LOVE" W HER; Especially not if she were real!)As I finally write this long overdue review of this absolute masterpiece, it is early March 2017, just over 3 months before the film is due to celebrate its 40TH(!!!) Anniversary on June 22. However, due to the current execs of Walt's company giving the impression of biases in favor of SOME films being milked out the wazoo, while others (this one included) are contrastingly shunned in their infamous "Vault" more or less. A real shame that John Lasseter and his posse from Pixar seem to be giving this impression and the impression of wanting zillions more MONEY than they need (I mean "Frozen" ALONE made you guys multi-gazillionaires, so why not try to refute the notion of you potentially being cheapskates and not have these black-and-white biases? Just saying...)Either way, whether or not THEY care about this and several other Disney greats (in MY eyes at least) of the time, nothing will change the fact that I still do... Again, a REALLY perfect film if you ask me, 10/10, Happy (Early) 40th Anniversary, Rescuers!!! May you continue to "never fail to do what's right" for many decades yet to come!
lisafordeay The Rescuers is a 1977 Disney movie and it is their 23rd animated classic in the Disney Canon. The movie opens up with a young orphan girl named Penny who is kidnapped by an evil woman who owns a pawn shop called Madame Medusa(who looks like a cross between Bette Midler and Bernadette Peters for some strange reason)who wants Penny to get the devils eye(which is a diamond that is somewhere in a cave).So Penny writes a letter and puts it in a bottle and throws it in the swamp. Meanwhile a mouse finds the message in the bottle from Penny and the film starts. We are later introduced to two mice called Bernard(voiced by Bob Newman)and Bianca(voiced by Eva Gabor who also provides the voice for Duchess the cat in The Aristocrats)who are in the rescuers red society which is a group of mice who are like private eye detectives who rescue people that are in trouble. So Bernard and Bianca are set off to find Penny and bring her back home. They meet some interesting charcthers along the way of their journey to find the little girl.Overall I have never seen this film before and I saw it with a blind eye,so I din't know what to make of it first,but to be quite frank I actually thought it was entertaining and cute. Also here is some trivia for ya Don Bluth and of course Richard Rich(who directed one of my all time favourite animated movies that is not from Disney The Swan Princess) both worked on this movie together,before they left Disney and started THERE own business against Disney Animation which is NO MORE. The film is extremely underrated and it reminded me of Basil Mouse Detective as I saw bits and pieces of that film.Overall if you love animal movies then this one isn't all that bad its cute and suitable for 6 years up. 6.1/10Out of 5 I give it a *** out of *****.
Rainey Dawn The Rescuers is a very cute animated adventure film - it is good to watch if you like any of the classic animated movies from Disney. But I will have to say that I was never that big of a fan of this animation - even as a 5 year old kid.The story is fairly good but I did not find the characters that alluring or appealing as I did with most other Walt Disney toons. To me, The Rescuers are not all that funny nor memorable (I did get a few laughs out of the film - just not that many). I realize that this movie is a crime film but so is 101 Dalmatians. Cruella De Vil was funny with her anger and vicious ways.Anyway, if you liked The Rescuers then try similar films like "101 Dalmatians", "The Fox and the Hound" or "Lady and the Tramp".7/10
