The Rescuers
Agreeably sweet and genial Disney adventure feels like a tentative bridge between the golden glory days and the coming renaissance, though of course there would still be a rocky course to traverse through the 80s. On its own terms, it’s a more sincere and likable entry than many of Disney’s efforts during this period, if sometimes a little too docile and sleepy – benefits from a pair of lovely vocal performances from Newhart and Gabor, and a wistfully pretty soundtrack; Page’s Medusa has the potential to be a great Disney villain, but lacks the savagery of a Cruella De Vil (or an Ursula for that matter).
