Bernard and Bianca get help from the various critters of the swamp who do not like Medusa or Snoops and a dragonfly named Evinrude (James MacDonald) propels them on his leaf boat where they finally reach the dilapidated river boat where Penny is being kept. Unable to travel with Medusa, the mice fly on Albatross Airlines, with an albatross named Orville (Jim Jordan) who gets them there before crashing thanks to the fireworks shot into the sky by Snoops as he and Medusa look for Penny who has tried to escape again. Snoops is there with Penny but because Medusa thinks he’s too soft on Penny, Medusa decides to do down there herself to give Penny the proper motivation to find the diamond. Rufus tells them that Medusa runs a pawnshop several blocks away and the mice head there next.Īfter a dangerous trek to the pawnshop, Bernard and Bianca discover that Medusa and her partner Snoops (Joe Flynn) did indeed kidnap Penny in order for her to find the world’s largest diamond, The Devil’s Eye. Once there, they meet an old cat named Rufus (John McIntire) who was Penny’s friend and confidante and he tells them about a terrible woman named Madame Medusa (Geraldine Page) who had tried to convince Penny to get into her car earlier. They travel to the Morningside Orphanage, where Penny was last seen where she was waiting to be adopted before she was abducted. Once Bernard the janitor (Bob Newhart) gets the message out of the bottle, the Hungarian delegate Miss Bianca (Eva Gabor) volunteers for the rescue mission and chooses Bernard to go with her. During the opening credit sequence we watch the bottle make its way through the rivers until its carried out into the ocean and arrives in New York City, where it’s recovered by the Rescue Aid Society, an organization like the United Nations but run by mice. The movie opens in the fog enshrouded Devil’s Bayou where a young girl named Penny (Michelle Stacy) drops a bottle with a message inside asking for someone to save her from the people who have kidnapped her. The Rescuers Down Under followed thirteen years later and while it had a lot of charm of its own, it didn’t live up to the gold standard of the first movie and wasn’t as much of a success as the original. And then there’s all of the great supporting characters that add a lot of heart and humor to the movie. Opposing her are two small mice that are the personification of courage which proves that you can make a difference no matter how small you are. Based on the series of books by Margery Sharp, it also has a memorable villain in Madame Medusa who is one of the most evil characters in the Disney universe.
