Disney PlusDisney PlusIn 80 short minutes, The Rescuers delivers more heart, atmosphere, and character than most modern animated films.My Favorite Scene: Bernard putting his arms around Bianca for the first time. It’s at least ironic—if not unfortunate—that a film so full of charm and emotional warmth, so straightforward in its message about helping others and doing good, is often best remembered today for a few rogue frames showing a topless woman in a window. Was an animator just bored and testing boundaries? It’s a sad distraction from what is otherwise a delightful and sincere piece of 1977 animation.
Disney's The Rescuers, while nostalgic, reveals a somber narrative about exploitation and the plight of the powerless, embodied by Penny, an orphan. It emphasizes that even in dark circumstances, small acts of kindness, as shown by brave mice Bernard and Bianca, can challenge systemic injustice and make a significant impact.
