The Rescuers

The Rescuers (first released June 22, 1977) is a Disney animated film about a society of mice, headquartered in New York and shadowing the United Nations, who go about doing good deeds in the world at large. Two of these mice, a hesitant and very New York-sounding Bernard (Bob Newhart) and the elegant, Hungarian-sounding Miss Bianca (Eva Gabor), set about rescuing Penny, a kidnapped girl -- with the help of a comical albatross, they set out despite stormy weather. The film was inspired by a series of children's novels by Margery Sharp.

The Characters

Bernard: He is a New York-sounding mouse that has one job: janitor. He is the most superstitious of the gang, being afraid of the number 13steps on the ladder, Flight 13, 13 steps on the stairs, Friday the 13th, and hating flying so much that when they fly, he wishes to take the train. Miss Bianca: She is a Hungarian-sounding mouse that is adventurous. She loves Bernard, and sometimes uses a little humor in problems. She said that one time, Evinrude's carberator got all pooped out. Penny: She is the hostage in the Devil's Bayou and wishes to go back to New York. She has a teddy bear, that one time, Madame Medusa put The Devil's Eye in it. She is not afraid of anything, and is in 1st grade. Mr. Snoops: He's the partner of Madame Medusa. He is also greedy and hates Penny. Madame Medusa: She is the leader of Mr. Snoops and only cares about The Devil's Eye. She is a villaness that has 2 alligators: Nero and Brutus.

The Sequel

In the sequel, The Rescuers Down Under (1990), set in the Australian Outback in which Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor reprised their roles from the first film. John Candy took the late Jim Jordan's place in the comical albatross role.

Topless woman rumor

The movie is famous for an image of a topless woman hidden in the background of one scene. When the mice are flying over the city, a topless woman is seen very quickly in a window, in just two frames. In 1992, however, the movie was released on video, but didn't have the picture of the topless woman because it was made from a different cut. On January 5, 1999, Disney re-released The Rescuers on video, but complete with the photo of the topless woman. Disney quickly found it, and on January 8, 1999, they recalled the video, and on March of 1999, they re-released it with the edited scene. In 2003, they released it on DVD with the edited scene.
