Little Known Disney Film "The Rescuers" should be seen by today's children

This timeless classic is an underrated gem!


The story is about Penny she is in an abandoned river boat in Devil's Bayou, she drops a message in a bottle, containing a plea for help into the river. The bottle washes up in New York City, where it is found by the Rescue Aid Society, an international mouse organization inside the United Nations. The Hungarian representative, Miss Bianca, volunteers to accept the case and chooses Bernard, a stammering janitor, as her co-agent. The two visit Morning-side Orphanage, where Penny lived, and meet an old cat named Rufus. He tells them about a woman named Madame Medusa who once tried to lure Penny into her car and may have succeeded in abducting Penny this time.


This 1977 film is not well known today by today's children.  It is a forgotten classic.  Since the release of  "The Little Mermaid" "The Rescuers" seems to have fallen out of the good graces of the Disney. Yes there was an ill-fated sequel in 1990 but the original is far superior.

This film however is always available to buy and that is good thing.  It has a huge heart and & adventure story to boot.  I would love too see another attempt at a sequel.   There is stories that can be told and not repeated.

Even if you don't have children and you love animation then you should not miss this film.
