Reviews for The Rescuers
A beautifully animated film that showed Disney still knew a lot about making quality children's fare even as their track record was weakening.

A solid, child-friendly work which will keep little ones content, if not mesmerised.

An old-fashioned Disney delight/

Let it be said up front that a lesser Disney effort is certainly miles above most animated films.

The Walt Disney animators returned to top form with this beautifully crafted and wonderfully expressive cartoon feature, the first major work to come out of the Disney studios in a decade.

The mice that soared.

The one completely successful Disney feature produced between 1967 and the beginning of the company's renaissance in 1989.

Four years of work were invested on this $7.5 million production and the expense, care, and expertise shows.

Efficiently short, charming, mildly scary in unimportant ways, and occasionally very funny.
