Top 10 Best Moments from The Rescuers (1977)

1. Bayou Chase

   

   The climax of the movie occurs after trapping Brutus and Nero and setting off Mr. Snoops's fireworks. Bernard, Bianca, Penny, and the others attempt to escape on Medusa's swamp mobile. Medusa herself pursues them with a rope while riding on Brutus and Nero as the group attempts to lose her. They do so after she ends up smacking into the boat's smoke stacks and is left clinging as Brutus and Nero turn on her.

   Loved this scene. It explains why Bianca wanted to rescue Penny and defeat Medusa at the end, as it was Penny who defeated her enemy.

2. Rescue Aid Society

   The scene where the members of the Rescue Aid Society sing their oath as Miss Bianca shortly arrives.

3. Brutus and Nero Chase Bernard and Bianca Inside the Organ

   After arriving at Madam Medusa's boat, Bernard and Bianca get chased by her two alligators. They take refuge in the organ as Brutus and Nero attempt to bring them out by pounding on the organ keys. This causes Medusa to come out and see what all the noise is all about, and she finds the mice duo as she fires her gun at them.

4. Bernard and Bianca Meet Orville

   To get to Devil's Bayou, Bernard and Bianca hitch a ride on an albatross named Orville, who's a bit of a klutz. Bernard is not too fond of flying and really wants to take the train instead but isn't given much choice.

5. Orville's Takeoff

6. Penny and Rufus

   Bernard and Bianca's search for Penny takes them to the orphanage where she was last seen. They meet up with Rufus the cat, who resides there. He recalls the last time he saw her there as he was cheering her up after she got rejected by another couple.

7. Bernard, Bianca, and Penny Search for the Devil's Eye

   The trio finds themselves forced down the pirate's cave by Medusa, who forces Penny to go down and retrieve the Devil's Eye diamond in a flooded cave and refuses to let her come back up until she finds it. They eventually find it located in possibly the worst place imaginable. Making matters worse, the cave continues to flood and the trio nearly drown, but they manage to get the diamond and are pulled to safety.

8. Bernard and Bianca Arrive at Devil's Bayou

   As the two arrive at Devil's Bayou on Orville, they find themselves caught right in the middle of Mr. Snoops's fireworks. This causes them to crash into the bayou where they are helped by Ellie Mae and Luke.

9. Penny Gets Adopted

   After the rescue, Penny finally gets adopted as Bernard, Bianca, and the rest of the Rescue Aid Society watch on the TV.

10. The Bottle Scene

    After the members bring in the bottle with Penny's message, Bernard is called in to bring it out using a comb as a ladder. As he takes it out, he falls into the bottle while the others attempt to read the message, which has become a bit unreadable due to it being wet. Upon reading it, Miss Bianca volunteers to go on the mission to rescue Penny and chooses Bernard to accompany her.

13. Madame Medusa's Driving

    I always remember how funny I thought her driving was, back when I was little.

    This scene always makes me wonder how she got a driver's license.

    Her driving shows how much she has in common with Cruella De Vil.

14. Medusa Meets Bernard and Bianca

    Medusa: "Snoops! A mouse! Kill it! Kill it!"

    *Sees Bianca*

    Medusa: "There's another one!"

    Medusa pulls out a shotgun and is a terrible shot.
