I haven't received this movie yet
I'm very dissapointed, the vendor was very quick taking the money, why do they sell something that they don't have on hand, I would like an answer or my money back right away. It is not too much, but the vendor must be making a good profit from products that he doesn't have. I saw this movies years ago. I wanted to share it with my grand daughter for Christmas.

The Rescuers
This was purchased as a gift. All I can really review is the timely delivery and that the product seems to be in fine condition. I can't know how the DVD plays till the kids open it on Christmas.

And The Singer Was Shelby Flint
I agree with others that this underrated and ignored-by-the-studio effort was the last great Disney animated film for a long, long time. Among other excellent elements are the songs--and has anyone mentioned the marvelous singing of Shelby Flint? Her behind-the-credits rendition of "The Journey" sets up the story and makes for one of the most haunting openings of any Disney film, and of course, she helped propel "Someone's Waiting For You" to an Oscar nomination. Predictably, there is no CD (unlike the forgettable Rescuers Down Under) and unless you are already a "star," you don't get much billing at Disney. Apparently destined to be the Marni Nixon of animation, Shelby Flint also sang in Snoopy Come Home (again, no CD) and some others. Joni Mitchell has admitted imitating her at the start of her career, but apparently lacking Mitchell's chutzpa, Flint's name must be dug out of the small credits. She, and the songs, help make this film exceptional.

I'm with the other "Rescuers" fans!
This movie truly deserves a much better DVD release. As a couple of reviewers have posted, it was speculated that Disney would reissue the DVD in 2007. Well, that year has flown by, and 2008 is almost at an end, and still no sign of a new, improved "Rescuers" DVD. Perhaps a 35th anniversary edition in 2012/13? And kind of interesting that young actress Michelle Stacy, the voice of Penny, would a few years later star in the hit comedy "Airplane!" as the young girl, when, asked by the young boy if she'd like cream in her coffee, replies with the classic comeback, "No thank you, I take it black, like my men." Yep, that was our dear, sweet Penny!

we needed to replace this move. Our grand daughthers watched the one we had until it broke
