Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction! See you next for a surprise movie and The Incredibles 2!

Honestly, to kidnap a small child is already sick enough. To kidnap an orphan little girl, throw her down in a hole, tell her no one would want to adopt her, AND steal her teddy bear. Medusa is just repulsive.

I've always loved this one. I love how Medusa is drawn, she is so dynamic, I mean I hate her, but she just stands out from my childhood memory so much!

Ah The Rescuers, yet another classic from the era of old style Disney films! such memories!

The soundtrack of this movie is heavily underrated

The Rescuers Facts: This was Eva Gabor’s second film for Disney with the first having her be Duchess in The AristoCats, The voice of Luke is Pat Buttram who was the voice of the dog Napoleon in The AristoCats, The Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Chief in Fox and the Hound, one of the bullets in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and the Possum Park owner in A Goofy Movie, The voice of Bernard is Bob Newhart who modern audiences will be more familiar with as Papa Elf in the movie Elf, This was the last film all 9 of Walt Disney’s original leading animators worked on before they retired to pass the baton on to the new Generation, but Frank and Ollie would work partway on Fox and the Hound, The choice of the bird for Orville being an Albatross was because of their being known for their clumsy takeoffs and landings, The music played when Orville first comes in and later takes off is the theme for the US Air Force, When the film was released on vhs in the late 90’s it had to be recalled as added in one of the background windows is a topless woman and it was said that it had been added during post production of the film in 1977, Intresting that you brought up at the end that the villain reminded you of Cruella as Instead of an original character with Madame Medusa the woman who kidnapped Penny was supposed to be Cruella De Ville, The song Somebody’s Waiting For You was nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars, You saw that correct as During the Somebody’s Waiting For You Sequence you see Bambi and his mother this is the third film that Bambi’s mother cameos in after The Sword in the Stone and The Jungle Book. The both of them also cameoed in a Disney short in the 1950’s, Also if you haven’t yet watched The Rescuers Down Under yet immediately after this just known it is going to be a complete Tonal shift with no songs and a lot more action adventure aspect to it, Don Bluth worked on several Disney films from the late 50’s through the 70’s before he left to start his own studio including: Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book, Robin Hood, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, an animation sequence for Escape to Witch Mountain, and a short film I highly recommend called The Small One,

The sequel got a MASSIVE upgrade on the animation, still to date one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The colors?! The scenery.. Oh my.. love it.

37:14 she actually betrayed Nero and Brutus here and started to whip them while she rode them. That's why they turned against her.

P.S. In case nobody mentioned, the joke with the dragonfly is that "Evinrude" is a longtime popular brand of outboard boat motors.

You can see Bluth’s influence on the animation of this period (or vice versa). When characters move, they carry a “weight” you can usually see when they flap their arms, move their jaws, or otherwise gesticulate. Once you see it, it’s very noticeable.

Man I absolutely loved this movie when I was a kid. I haven’t watched it in about 20 years

The movie, the mice - it’s the thought of that even the smallest can do big, great things 💖

The fact that Nick initially thought that the Bats were flying to go help Evinrude instead of trying to eat him I just find to be so hilarious lol

Madame Medusa, the evil woman who took Penny, was inspired by Cruella De Vil. Another inspiration was apparently the ex-wife of one of the animators.

I love this movie! Eva Gabor is the perfect voice for Bianca. Also, the opening credits scene is one of my favorite of any Disney movie. "Rescue Me" combined with the beautiful paintings give off a tone I can't explain

In Memory of Joe Flynn (1924-1974) and John Lounsbery (1911-1976) Final Film of Jim Jordan (1896-1988) and James MacDonald (1906-1991)

OHH this is an underrated one and one of my favorites. When i was a kid I was terrified of that lady, and Penny is such a sweet character ❤️ Thanks for this reaction 💕💕💕 Im excited for the Incredibles 2 too 😁😁

This is a pretty good Disney movie. The second one is miles better so happy you will be doing that one as well!

I know this movie doesnt have the most wow factor, its definately one of disney's smaller movies. Keep in mind that its intentionally aimed at the 3-6 year old crowd so adults wont get as much from it entertainment wise. And its topical for the time. Late 70s early to mid 80s was the height of kids getting kidnapped from malls and front lawns across the country. Stranger danger was an important thing for kids to learn at the time. I speak this as one of thousands of kids fingerprinted at my local mall in case i ever was kidnapped and my parents played this movie for me all the time when i was in preschool.

I always thought The Rescuers had the best/most beautiful beginning credits score. Gives me goosebumps everytime

I watched the sequel, The Rescuers Down Under, when I was 5-6 years old, then got this movie on VHS 7 years later! It's fun action packed, has a lot of heart and humor.

I hope this means Rescuers Down Under is just around the corner for a reaction. That's one of my absolute FAVORITE Disney films!

Evinrude is actually the name of a motor boat motor company so the name of the dragonfly is perfect 😁

This is a Disney film that I always have a good time with! I like the the majority of character’s in this film (Bernard, Bianca, Orville, Madame Medusa), especially Penny (she’s a real sweetheart 😊). I also like the songs in this one too, from the title sequence and when Bianca and Bernard are traveling to the bayou. I get a lot of laughs from The Rescuers and overall enjoy it from time to time. Thanks for the reaction as always, Nick!

This movie was a good one and one of my moms favorites. The song where Penny is looking into the distance, it tears because I sang it at my grandpa’s funeral. This film has a special place in my heart ❤️

It's been quite some time since I've last seen this, I do like how 70s animated films compared to later productions tend to have a very unique and interesting vibe about them. That's certainly the case here, and while I also enjoy the sequel, it definitely doesn't feel as unique or special. I also like how at 3:29 the subtitles say "French continues" whilst it's clearly German being spoken.

🎵R-E-S-C-U-E Rescue Aid Society Heads held high, touch the sky You mean everything to me🎵 That song always pops into my head during my exams.

Love this movie so much! Such a classic and so many childhood memories. And the second is so good too (love the villain’s sidekick!) and it greatly advanced the field of animation in terms of style, but the original holds a special place in my heart.

Bernhard putting his arm around Bianca while flying is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen 🥹🥰☺️🤭 Awwwww

this was a huge family fav when I was a kid 🥲 my parents still quote madame Medusa to this day, she’s such a great villain

Sometimes I wonder how this film would’ve turned out had the fact that Cruella from 101 Dalmatians was initially going to be the main antagonist. That would’ve been interesting to see.

One of my favorite Disney movies, including the second one, which you should definitely check out as well. 😍😍😍🐁🐁🐁 Also, Bernard and Bianca are one of my favorite Disney couples; animated or otherwise. They're just so darn cute, and have perfect actors to play them. 😍😍😍❤❤❤

I always tear up when I hear that song and when Penny prays.

It was the highest grossing picture of the late 70s.

This used to make me cry when Medusa told penny who would ever want to adopt her

I love that you reacted to this even though it wasn’t your favorite. 😊 I grew up watching both Rescuers so they have a special place in my heart - on top of that, the artwork is to die for! Thank you for taking the time to check this one out. :)

Development began for the movie in 1963, but Disney shelved the project as he didn't like the political overtones. It was supposed to involve a Norwegian poet, held captive in a Siberian prison, and another version included Bernard and Bianca saving Richard The Lionheart during the Middle Ages. Red Foxx was going to play a lion in the 1974 version, but had episodes of memory loss, and had to drop out. Another version included monkeys being held captive in a Nazi concentration camp as they are being experimented on while Bernard and Bianca come their aid. Luckily, none of these versions made it into the final cut.

This movie brings back memories of my childhood! I loved singing the songs in this one! Thanks for posting this one!

My sisters say I drive like Madam Medusa😂Anyway so happy to watch this😍Thank u for uploading. This is random but Eva Gabor also voices Duchess in the Aristocats.

I watched The Rescuers fairly often as a kid and it always made me feel a tiny bit melancholy. Maybe it’s the opening...or the song Someone’s Waiting For You. I miss this era of Disney

The movie is about mice who try to rescue people by using the world around them; does it have to make sense? 😂 Also, the main message of the movie is that heroes come in all sizes. And yes, Penny's story was so heartbreaking, especially when she was talking to Medusa, and saying her prayers; just imagine that life for a child, and to see her get adopted was one of the best things ever. Overall, just like The Aristocats, I can see why you wouldn't love--but still enjoy--this movie, but I think you're gonna be blown away by the sequel, ESPECIALLY with the animation and music. 😍

Thank you for this reaction!! I always loved The Rescuers. Something about underdog characters overcoming great obstacles always gets to me :) And it's bittersweet that this is maybe the final period of some of the old animation masters like Milt Kahl, Frank Thomas, and Ollie Johnston --- I went to an animation seminar once several years ago, and the pros still applaud Milt's work on Madame Medusa! Even today I really appreciate the mystery and darker tone of this movie. That cave scene still gives me a thrill

If you think about it. The Rescuers, even to this day has the most realistic dangers. Any child could face compared to all the movies before it.

It actually was bambi and his mom! Well, technically. They've reused animal animations from bambi in multimple movies. YOu can for example see bambi's mom in the opening of Beauty and the Beast!

I grew up with this movie and many other Disney classics. It's part of my comfort collection :)

The score at the beginning is called “The Journey“ by Shelby Flint . I remember listening to that for hours and hours after I watched the movie for the first time .

I just wanna say thank you for watching these old catalog Disney! I grew up in the 90s and this was one of my FAVORITE movies. I was that 8 year old trying to copy Zsa Zas’ accent. It makes me so happy to see someone else enjoy animation that’s of a style older than their generation.

The Rescue Aid Society song always pop into my head occasionally lol. I grew up with this movie so it has a special place in my heart haha

Omg one of my favourite childhood movies thankyou so much for reacting to it, Apparently i could sing the whole song word perfect before I'd properly started talking 😅

Fun fact: Don Bluth and several other animators were a part of Disney but due to restrictions and rules created by Disney that restricted their creativity, Bluth and other animators took off from the studio and started their own animation studio. Bluth currently has his own studio and is still working on his own art with a new movie coming soon.

I'm biased because I saw it first, but I do prefer the original to the sequel. RDU may be aesthetically the more stunning film, but Rescuers itself was stronger on characterization and overall story. You actually feel for Penny after she's called homely and unwanted, but you also have Medusa and Snoops' antics which are genuinely funny to watch. And Bianca and Bernard's chemistry was just overall better in the first. With RDU the animation was fantastic but Cody and McLeach were static characters who at times looked like they belonged in different films - and Cody barely interacts with Bernard/Bianca at all. I don't think RDU is bad by any means but its not nearly as no contest as people like Doug Walker make it out to be IMO

28:39 - More or less, yes! 😆 Good catch! They reused some Bambi animation there. Same as with Robin Hood, this was a time when Disney was in a financial decline and reused/refitted animation was a common asset.

Such a cute and heartwarming movie :)

Thanks for checking this out. I grew up with this watching it at my aunt's house and one of my favorite KZfaqrs' (Bobsheaux) this was his girlfriend Raven's first movie she saw in theaters.

Please watch "Harry and the Hendersons" (1987)! It's one of my favorite childhood movies!

This movies was released the same year as “Star Wars, Episode 4: A New Hope”.

You never have to apologise about giving your true opinions of a movie. I don't enjoy watching people who seem fake when reacting so I appreciate your honesty. ❤️

In my country we don't call this movie The Rescuers, we call it "Bernard and Bianca".

When I was a child I always bawled my eyes out at the prologue / starting sequence. It’s so sad, and it still gets me. 😢😢😢 Phew…

I’m looking forward to your reaction to the sequel! 🤩 It’s one of my favorite childhood movies, and, like The Great Mouse Detective, it’s criminally underrated!

You know, I'm surprised that no one suggest Soul or even the Winnie the Pooh movies, those are really good films. If you are planning to watch Winnie the Pooh one day, these are the ones you have to watch: - The Many Adventure of Winnie the Pooh (1977) one first and classic disney films - Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin (1997) - The Tigger Movie (2000) - Piglet's Big Movie (2003) - Pooh's Heffalump Movie (2005) - Winnie the Pooh (2011) - Christopher Robin (2018)

Oooh! I remember this movie from my childhood. It's another cute and seriously underrated Disney classic, though I think I like the sequel more. I'm glad you are watching these old classics, Nick! This was another great reaction and I hope you'll also watch the sequel sometime soon!

Besides Klaus, I'm also hoping for 101 Dalmatians 2 Patch's London Adventure and Lady and the Tramp 2, because they are one of my favorite disney sequels.

This is one of my favorite Disney movies ever. It’s darker, quieter and more mysterious than a lot of other Disney movies. It’s always calmed me down while watching. Plus Shelby Flint’s singing especially is so beautiful and soothing. Tomorrow is Another Day is probably one of my favorite songs ever.

They needed someone small who could fit through the hole and figured that since she was an orphan less people would notice or care that she was gone.

Oh how I love that movie! And the sequel even more Everytime I got really sick, with high feaver and nothing could cheer me up, my ma put these movies on

Back in the late 90s, Disney had re-released this on VHS, remastered from a different print of the movie than they had used for previous releases. A few days later, they had to recall the entire run of tapes from video store rental and sales shelves, because as it turns out, in the scene where they're diving past the buildings on take off (around 15:50 in the reaction), someone at Disney had replaced one of the building windows with an image of a nude model from Playboy magazine. Because of how fast they're moving and the fact that they're flying in front of that window, the image is only on screen for two non-consecutive frames. Back during the film's initial release in theaters, someone else had caught it and quietly edited it out, but somehow had missed at least one print of the film that had the inappropriate images. Working at Blockbuster at the time, and being an early internet adopter, I heard the news of the recall before word came down from corporate to pull the tapes. So of course I bought myself a copy.

You’re gonna love the sequel. Better animation and a bigger contrast from the first one. The sequel is one of my favorite Disney films, but it's sad that it's least remembered/underrated and it was released on the same day Home Alone was released.

This was the very first movie I ever watched at a movie theater. It was for the Rescuers 10th anniversary re-release in 1987.

This is my second favorite anthropomorphic mice movie from disney (The Great Mouse Detective for life!!)

20:14 The Goofy Holler makes everything better! 😄

Such a touching, beautiful picture. There are better movies in Disney’s animated history. But, no others get to my heart the way The Rescuers does.

Bianca is voiced be Eva Gabor. Her voice is so iconic. Bernard is Bob Newhart. He is great.

I LOVE this movie!! The 2nd one(I don't think it's called The Rescuers 2 but idk the name) is also amazing!

I've loved this film since I was a kid thanks for uploading this video Nickflix 👍 👍👍👍👍

Note to self: if you want Nick to enjoy a movie, make sure it has good music 😅

Wow, this movie is a good memory of my childhood. I first watched this with my brother when my father came home from work and opened the CD bag he had collected a lot of lovely movies for us. I really miss those feelings🥲

I just noticed that all the animals (except the seagull and aligators) are the same scale. Those are some tiny owls, rabbits and turtles

Looking forward to when you get to the sequel. It takes place in the country I live in, Australia.

Someone has probably already said it,but the sequel is *SO MUCH BETTER!* 😍🤩🦅

The Rescue Aid Society song is one of my childhood favorites! I DEFINITELY would love to see your reaction to The Great Mouse Detective! =D

This movie is such a classic!! Great reaction nick 🙂

Someone working at Disney wanted to make A rescuers cartoon series. Their idea was turned down as they were already planning a sequel (Rescuers Down Under) so the idea was changed to Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers, which was an awesome show, with one catchy intro tune.

Recommendation for the future, Consider reacting to the Tremors film series.

One of my favorites as a kid❤️ so glad you watched it 😁

I still think this is a pretty great film. It's either a classic or an almost classic like Robin Hood. It didn't exactly redefine the state of the art of its time, but it pressed pretty hard against the boundaries that the company placed on it. It's got some really solid animation, some good tunes, and a fun story. It's got a little something for everyone, from pirates treasure, to talking rodents solving crimes. I remember this got released in the theaters in the 80's and my parents went to see it on a date. That was pretty cool. Incidently, the Rescue Rangers was sort of a spinoff from this.

Nick, Orville is an albatross. His wings are some of the longest of any bird that they can't take off at the spot, they'd have to run and would land clumsily. Animator Frank Thomas took note of that from a sequence of the True-Life Adventures featuring albatrosses to make Orville one instead of a pigeon to make it more comedic ;)

I first saw The Rescuers on a 1983 rerelease for it. It was the second part of a double feature that included Mickey’s Christmas Carol, new at that time.

I love this movie so much. Both Medusa and Cruella drive like a bat out of hell. I also just love Eva Gobor's (Bianca) voice.

Trivia, originally, in the scene where Orville flies through New York, there was a topless woman put in one of the windows (presumbley put in as a joke). Normally you can't see this as it goes so fast, so it had to be watched frame by frame to skip it. When it was released on VHS in the 90's, this was discovered and outraged parents contacted Disney about this, causing them to recall all VHS copies, to have them replaced with the current version where the topless woman has been removed from those shots, so she is not there anymore. Good thing they did cuz it was after all inapporpiate.

one thing you probably didn’t know about this movie is that the role of main villain of the rescuers was almost filled by Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians, but they felt Cruella’s presence in an unrelated movie would confuse viewers so they made madame Medusa instead. Another reason Cruella was cut from the movie is because the Walt Disney company wasn’t interested in making sequels to their original movies at that time.

"Other people live there! I" love how you call mice people 😆

Glad you reacted to this one! I do think the sequel is better, but I do also think this one is underrated. It has such a charming vibe, especially with the music and art.

Orville is an Albatross. They're very large birds that soar beautifully, but have a hard time taking off and landing due to how large their wings are.

The Rescuers Down Under was my favorite. The eagle?! Omg

I loved this one when I was a kid, bruh the nostalgia :)

Here is a fun fact: Cruella De Vil was the original villain for this movie. They were going to have her wear alligator skin. However they didn’t want it to be confusing that she was in two movies as villains. So they change the characters name to Madame Medusa and changed her design a little bit so it would be a new character. That’s why she looks so similar to Cruella in appearances and in her driving. 💀💎🐊🐭

Awesome, all time favorite 🥰 always fun watching your reactions 👍👍

Love your reactions man! Here’s 2 classic films from the 80s I recommend u to watch & do a reaction! “LUCAS” 1986 with Corey Haim, Kerri Green(From The Goonies), Charlie Sheen & Winona Ryder! “LICENSE TO DRIVE” 1988 with “The Two Corey’s”/Corey Haim & Corey Feldman, and also Heather Graham! You’ll enjoy these classics, especially “LICENSE TO DRIVE”!!! Hope you’ll watch & react to them!

The Rescuers Down Under the second movie is my favorite of the series.
