Underrated Retro Disney Gem of adventure, whimsy, action, cuteness and raw imagination
The "Rescue Aid Society" is a centuries-old organization that was
founded by the helpful little mouse of the old "Aesop's fable". It's a secret organization of adventurous, intrepid, yet perfectly civilized mice from all over the world who lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Our hero mice of the film are, the beautiful, sophisticated, & sweet-natured Miss Bianca (Eva Gabor) and her partner-in-adventure and admirer: the mild-mannered, and cautious Bernard (Bob Newhart). They are out to rescue a kidnapped 6-year-old orphan named "Penny". Penny has been kidnapped by the slimy, greedy old pawn shop owner Medusa (a "Cruella De Vil" prototype no doubt) and her bumbling windbag minion Snoops who just isn't as intimidating no matter how hard he trys. Penny is small enough to squeeze into caverns & tombs and retrieve valuable diamonds for them. Though cherubic & innocent, but snaggle-toothed & drab-clothed Penny often lacks confidence in her looks & "adoptable" factor, she's brave, strong, and resourceful, cooperating with her captors just long enough to stay safe, and sends messages for "help" and keeping faith that she will be saved. The movie's animation has a wonderful classic 70's feel to it, without looking "cheap" or like it was just thrown together. Though not in "musical/song-and-dance number" format (thank goodness) there are a few haunting, yet heartwarming songs playing as we stay hopeful that precious Penny overcomes this ordeal. It's quite evident that a lot of heart, soul, and creativity was put into both the story as well as the animation. Though there is no "violence" in the film there is much suspenseful peril and well-animated "action sequences" that our mice heroes must face on their journey for Penny's rescue, that keeps the viewer on the edge of his/her seat. Unlike most animated family films of *this* generation, the comic relief is kept to a minimum and a subtle degree for *most* of the film, but boy the villains, the climax, and their fates do not fail to bring the "lols". This is one of Disney's more underrated & thoroughly charming & heart-warming animated films from beginning to end. Fun for the whole family, and a flawlessly executed animated action/adventure with no gimmicks, snark, pop-culture name-drops whatsoever. It's a wholesome, heartwarming and quirky animated film that was conceptualized & powered by nothing but good old-fashioned raw imagination. Definitely worth a watch : 10/10. neillfc watch Portiere Di Notte, Il movie

i like this so much !.
Absolutely charming animated movie for children and adults.
I just love this movie. The geographic settings and quality of the artwork
are first-rate. The music is absolutely rapturous. And the plot flows very smoothly. My daughters (3 and 6 years old) love it. But they don't love it as much as me (I'm 44). A dreamy and inspiring movie, this is one of my all-time favorites. You can't miss with this one!. |
