    35 years ago today THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER was released in theaters. This oft overlooked animated gem was not only the most underrated release of the Disney Renaissance, it was the introduction of the CAPS digital animation technology & the studio’s first ever theatrical animated sequel.

    Once again, in case you’re wondering why Gen Xers are “like this,” watch any Disney movie between Walt’s death & The Little Mermaid, the shit we were raised on. Tried to rewatch The Rescuers last night and it is utterly Bananapants that a single soul thought this was acceptable kids’ fare

    It's like, Robin Hood, Lion King, Great Mouse Detective, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Zootopia, A Goofy Movie, both the Rescuers films... Disney has too many films/shows that are Formative Experiences for furries. I ended the list there on purpose, don't yell at me because I didn't mention Bongo

    For one, Moana is extremely popular and has a hastily made sequel coming out. For two, here are five solid, beautiful, actually underrated animated cult Disney films that barely get mentioned/merched. 1. The Rescuers Down Under 2. Atlantis 3. Treasure Planet 4. Meet the Robinsons 5. A Goofy Movie

    85.) The Rescuers (1977) [REWATCH] Rewatched a childhood favorite. Probably the most grimiest, lived-in Disney movie ever made. And that's reflective in the film's material. You won't find moonshine jokes and 6-year olds getting shotgun barrels shoved in their face in today's movies.

    Also, the best 90s Disney movie is The Rescuers Down Under, replacing Roth with Hagar made Van Halen a better band, and Bernie Sanders is probably not a Russian agent directly but he absolutely knew they were helping his campaign and he willingly accepted it.

    Very true. My childhood movie watching consisted of whatever used VHS tapes we found at garage sales or not-Blockbuster rental stores. The Disney movies I watched on repeat were like The Fox and The Hound, The Rescuers Down Under, and 101 Dalmatians. Everthing else was non-Disney and NOT a classic.

    My most random opinion that is going to mean nothing to most people The Rescuers Down Under fits more with The Bronze Age of Disney even though it's technically a Renaissance Age film. And honestly if not for the fact that The Little Mermaid came out first it would be classified as such
