Thoughts/Memories Upon Re-watching this Movie:
-When I was young, I didn't understand that this was the original "Rescuers" movie since I saw "The Rescuers Down Under" before I saw this one.
-I think Madame Medusa got driving lessons from Cruella DeVil.
-Medusa is probably one of the most mentally abusive Disney villains.
Did You Know.....?
-Walt Disney was involved in the early stages, but died before production.
-Disney's first big success after "The Jungle Book" and last before "The Little Mermaid".
-This film marked the end of Disney's "sketchy" animation. The xerographic process restored a softer outline, which was not possible with the previous technology.
-On January 8th, 1999, 3 days after the films 2nd release on home video, The Walt Disney Company recalled 3.4 million copies due to an image of a topless woman in one of the background frames. "The Rescuers" video was reissued on March 23rd, 1999.
