Bargainflix.com Reviews
Let's start by saying that Disney's 1977 Classic The Rescuers is a really, really good movie, it never fails to please me, however this newly released DVD does.

New York Times (Vincent Canby)
WITH "ANNIE" already established as one of the bigger hits on the Broadway stage, the arrival of "The Rescuers"—the first animated feature from the Walt Disney organization since 1973—could make this the year of the transcendent orphan.
