Miss Bianca and Bernard are very lovable detectives in Disney’s The Rescuers.

 
 

Rating: 🔥 that’s hot

When Bernard and Bianca of the Rescue Aid Society hear of a young orphan girl named Penny who’s in trouble, it’s up to them to make their way to the bayou and save her from the clutches of her evil kidnapper Medusa.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The characters were charming and kept my attention from start to finish. Though the film is about a kidnapped orphan the tone is still overall lighthearted. The call to adventure is a classic message in a bottle, and the usual tropes of an adventure film all work together seamlessly to make this one of my surprise favorites thus far in the #Disneyinorder challenge. Fun fact, this film was the first Disney animated feature to get a sequel, The Rescuers Down Under which was released in 1990.
