The Rescuers (first released June 22, 1977) is a Disney animated film about a society of mice, headquartered in New York and shadowing the United Nations, who go about doing good deeds in the world at large. Two of these mice, a hesitant and very New York-sounding Bernard (Bob Newhart) and the elegant, Hungarian-sounding Bianca (Eva Gabor), set about rescuing Penny, a kidnapped girl -- with the help of a comical albatross, they set out despite stormy weather.
The film was inspired by a series of children's novels by Margery Sharp.
This movie is famous for an image of a topless woman hid in the background.
In the sequel, The Rescuers Down Under (1990), set in the Australian Outback in which Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor reprised their roles from the first film. John Candy took the late Jim Jordan's place in the comical albatross role.
