The Rescuers

Miss Bianca and Bernard, two city mice employed by the International Rescue Aid Society, set out on a bold rescue mission. When a young orphan girl is abducted by ruthless treasure hunters, the duo leaves the comfortable safety of their headquarters to track her through swamp, city, and countryside. They team up with a cast of quirky allies, outsmart traps, and rely on quick thinking rather than brute force. The adventure mixes danger with humor as the unlikely rescuers deal with human crime, decipher clues, and outwit their larger-than-life adversaries. Throughout the trek, courage and friendship guide their plan to bring the girl back to safety.
