Walt Disney's 1977 full-length animated feature, THE RESCUERS, combines comedy, drama, and sheer excitement into one exciting experience for the whole family.

There are alligators, swamp critters, and evil villains to overcome in this spellbinding tale of treasures and escapes and near misses and ultimately, of rescues.
