Amazon.com: What can two little mice possibly do to save an orphan girl who's fallen into evil hands? With a little cooperation and faith in oneself, anything is possible! As members of the mouse-run International Rescue Aid Society, Bernard and Miss Bianca respond to orphan Penny's call for help. The two mice search for clues and, with the help of an old cat named Rufus, track Penny to the clutches of the evil Madame Medusa in a dilapidated ship in Devil's Bayou. It turns out that Medusa is using Penny to locate and retrieve the Devil's Eye Diamond--a stone she'll stop at nothing to possess. With a cunning plan, courageous acts, cooperation from local animal life, and lots of faith, Bernard and Miss Bianca help Penny find the diamond and escape from Medusa. The result of their adventure is that Bernard and Miss Bianca become close friends and Penny gets adopted. This somewhat dark, classic 1977 animated Disney film is based on Margery Sharp's The Rescuers and Miss Bianca, and features the Academy Award-nominated song 'Someone's Waiting for You.' Voice talents include Eva Gabor as Miss Bianca, Bob Newhart as Bernard, Geraldine Page as Madame Medusa, and Jim Jordan (radio's Fibber McGee) as Orville Albatross. Followed by the sequel The Rescuers Down Under. (Ages 5 to 11) --Tami Horiuchi

Rating: - I haven't received this movie yet
I'm very dissapointed, the vendor was very quick taking the money, why do they sell something that they don't have on hand, I would like an answer or my money back right away. It is not too much, but the vendor must be making a good profit from products that he doesn't have.
I saw this movies years ago. I wanted to share it with my grand daughter for Christmas.
Rating: - The Rescuers
This was purchased as a gift. All I can really review is the timely delivery and that the product seems to be in fine condition. I can't know how the DVD plays till the kids open it on Christmas.
Rating: - And The Singer Was Shelby Flint
I agree with others that this underrated and ignored-by-the-studio effort was the last great Disney animated film for a long, long time. Among other excellent elements are the songs--and has anyone mentioned the marvelous singing of Shelby Flint? Her behind-the-credits rendition of "The Journey" sets up the story and makes for one of the most haunting openings of any Disney film, and of course, she helped propel "Someone's Waiting For You" to an Oscar nomination. Predictably, there is no CD (unlike the forgettable Rescuers Down Under) and unless you are already a "star," you don't get much billing at Disney. Apparently destined to be the Marni Nixon of animation, Shelby Flint also sang in Snoopy Come Home (again, no CD) and some others. Joni Mitchell has admitted imitating her at the start of her career, but apparently lacking Mitchell's chutzpa, Flint's name must be dug out of the small credits. She, and the ... Read More
Rating: - I'm with the other "Rescuers" fans!
This movie truly deserves a much better DVD release. As a couple of reviewers have posted, it was speculated that Disney would reissue the DVD in 2007. Well, that year has flown by, and 2008 is almost at an end, and still no sign of a new, improved "Rescuers" DVD. Perhaps a 35th anniversary edition in 2012/13?
And kind of interesting that young actress Michelle Stacy, the voice of Penny, would a few years later star in the hit comedy "Airplane!" as the young girl, when, asked by the young boy if she'd like cream in her coffee, replies with the classic comeback, "No thank you, I take it black, like my men." Yep, that was our dear, sweet Penny!
