Following the tasty meal Friday night, the Mister suprised me with The Rescuers. The Mister was disturbed by the racial and regional sterotyping among the mice (and Bianca, the heroine is the whitest creature in the film), the physical comedy and goofiness that either didn't translate well to animation or hasn't aged well, and the overall darkness of the film, both in concept and animation.
I liked it. Partially I liked it because I remember loving this movie as a child. (I saw it in the theater with Ron Prewitt and my brother. As it came out in 1977 it may have been one of the very first movies I saw in a theater.) Partially because there are so many mice involved. Alas, I did not like it as well as I thought I would from my memories. The nostalgia didn't overcome the sterotyping, stupid physical comedy and overall darkness. The villian is also much too Cruella DeVille-like in action but not nearly as much fun. Barely recommended overall.

What a shame to get an adult update that the movie really isn't as good as you thought it was as a kid. I still know some of the lines and songs by heart. I always liked Evinrude. I was disappointed to re-watch Grease.
I bet you can't wait for Ratatouille to come out.
Will you rewatch The Rescuers Down Under too?
I'm not sure about Rescuers Down Under. I haven't ever seen it, but I have a great many rodent movies to see.
Is Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh a movie?
They made of movie of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM entitled "Secret of NIMH". I haven't ever seen it but certainly intend to. I'm also planning on re-reading the book as soon as I find it (along with Stuart Little, The Mouse and the Motorcycle and several other great rodent books.
