      This was Disney's most profitable movie of the 1970s, by a long shot. As a studio they had been plugging away at the same formula for years without innovating, and so their movies' appeal began to get narrower and narrower -- to the point where parents would drop their kids off at the theater to see the latest Disney movie, while the adults went to see something else. (Ask me how I know.) This was not a recipe for box office success. I think The Rescuers did well because it was exciting enough for adults to stick around and watch, and for the first time in a while, it seemed like the creators truly cared about the project.

    • @mollyospikminio
      @mollyospikminio Před 5 měsíci +4

      @@Johnny_Socko how’d you know? And you could be right. The story is mature and took itself seriously in how the person in needing of rescue was a kidnapped little girl, the lighting and animation used more darker colours, and the soundtrack was quite grounded compared to other Disney movies at the time.
      In my opinion, the turnaround for better quality at Disney started here.

    You didn't show it in the edit, but when Medusa makes her entrance, she picks up the phone and changes to a sweet customer service voice, "Madam Medusa's pawn shop boutique," with each syllable a staccato singsong climbing in pitch. As kids who saw The Rescuers at least ten times at the theater in its initial run, my sisters used to drive my parents nuts with endless repetition of that line anytime, anywhere, no reason needed. I always found them hysterical and very good at it.

    People who make lists of worst Disney villains always sleep on Madame Medusa. I think she’s almost up there with Mother Gothel for that “homely little thing” line alone. The rest of the stuff she did gets her the rest of the way up. Kidnaps a kid, leaves her with a sleazy criminal, puts her down a well, threatens to leave her in there if she doesn’t risk her life to bring back a diamond, then steals her most prized possession and tries to leave her with the criminal who most likely won’t bother to save her even if he saves himself, assuming he doesn’t do anything worse to her. She’s a complete monster, man.

    • @SevenEllen
      @SevenEllen Před 5 měsíci +4

      I was just thinking that earlier today. Medusa is a forgotten Disney villain but she's easily up there with Mother Gothel and Cinderella's wicked step-mother. She's prepared to drown a child in order to get a diamond so big it belongs to the world. KeyTheLich has made excellent video about appreciating The Rescuers and raises an interesting point on how Medusa sees the Devil's Eye diamond.

It's bigger, it's badder, it's epic, it's beautiful, it's like night and day. They're both great movies, but they have completely different vibes. This movie is darker, but the story is simple.

    The animator for Medusa, Milt Kahl, based her off of his at the time wife. About a year later, they were divorced. But for real, Medusa is so fluid in her motion and characteristization that it's beautiful.

      Actually Orville was voiced by Jim Jordan, a comedian going back as far as the 30s (although in this era, Don Knotts was starring a few Disney films including GUS and HERBIE GOES TO MONTE CARLO).
      Jordan sadly died RIGHT as casting was being done for THE RESCUERS DOWNUNDER (just a few months before they started recording in 1988). Instead of recasting, Roy Disney actually requested the character be written out of the script and it was changed to his brother Wilbur (played by the late great John Candy),
      The production of THE RESCUERS was really where Don Bluth started getting frustrated with Disney over the avoidable animation flaws (which, for him, was more due to producers dragging their feet than any actual budget issues). While he was starting to get animation directing jobs, Bluth had finally had enough by the late 70s and started off on his own with other animators also having issues with Disney.

      @@nsasupporter7557 You're entitled to your opinion but here's why I prefer the first movie.
      Down Under suffers from all the characters doing their own thing in the middle and not building up to anything. You've got scenes of Bernard, Bianca and Jake riding on various animals through the outback, which are fine but repetitive, scenes of Cody and the captured animals trying to escape, which are fine but go nowhere, and scenes of Wilbur being tortured at the hospital which are...just kind of nasty.
      I prefer how in The Rescuers, there's more of a mystery. We follow Bernard and Bianca as they find out who Penny is, where she is and why she was kidnapped. Then they develop a relationship with her, and we see them devise an escape plan and implement it.

    I’m in the same boat as you are James I only remember watching _The Rescuers Down Under_ (which enjoyed it more than the 1st film) but not the first _Rescuers_ as my only memory of the film was having a picture book of the film from Disney's Wonderful World of Reading and that was my familiarity of the movie. But this along with _Fantasia_ and _Pinocchio_ (until I got the 2009 platinum edition and watched it) were the only Disney Animated films I didn’t watched as a kid until I got Disney+.
    Also, Don Bluth recalls there was a friendly rivalry going on between Marc Davis, who'd animated Cruella De Vil, and Milt Kahl who was animating Medusa, with Kahl constantly claiming _"Just wait, MY villainess is going to be nastier than yours!”_ It got so intense animators started taking bets on who was going to win. And speaking of Cruella, originally she was going the be the main antagonist of the film until they went with Madame Medusa. Finally, most of Madame Medusa’s characteristics and mannerisms were the inspiration for Ursula in _The Little Mermaid_
    Looking forward to your reaction to _The Rescuers Down Under_ next week.🦘

    Fun fact about this film. It was originally going to be a sequel to 101 Dalmatians, and the villain was going to be Cruella DeVille once again, having moved on from furs and now into reptile skins and out to get rich once again after having fallen on hard times after the incident with the puppies. They decided against this in the end, because they worried that children would not get the reference, as it wasn't until the 80's that they started to do sequels. But that is the main reason why Medusa is such a reckless driver, as it was storyboarded to be Cruella and she was famous for her car.

    Another childhood favorite! It often scared me, yet I kept coming back to it. The cave would always give me nightmares, but man it was hard to keep me away for long because I always loved the animals and swampy environment. Never got tired of the baddies getting their comeuppance! And the songs in this, so heartfelt and brings tears to my eyes to this day.
    What I love about this movie the most is that it holds a religious value, but isn't shoved down your throat. Penny prayed to be rescued, to be returned home, and despite her captors and circumstances telling her there was no hope she DID get an answer. Sure, it wasn't the rescue she thought it'd be, but one could argue it is like this for many hopes we have in life. In the end, her prayer was answered and she was rescued!

The dialogue feels perfect and fits with the characters they're portraying. Might not be the best film or have an overly complex narrative but still a rescue operation by mice is such a fun little story for people to enjoy. I miss fun almost quirky films like this.

    Fantastic reaction ❤ I absolutely love this film. It's one of those 70's Disney films that kind of fell under the radar. Disney wasn't pumping out princess films, they were using photocopying (xeroxing) a lot and so people weren't that interested but I think The Rescuers is top tier and deserves to be up there with the Disney greats.
    The animation is fantastic, the story makes you laugh and cry, it's totally chaotic, the side characters are hilarious and you fall in love with the main characters and hate the "baddies" and the music is super evocative and nostalgic. You can't ask for anything more.❤
