The Rescuers (Disney film): Difference between revisions

** And when {{spoiler|1=McLeach says to Cody that someone shot Marahoute right out of the sky...}}

{{quote| '''McLeach:''' [[Parodied Trope|What do you mean, "no?" You callin' me a liar?]]}}

* [[Bitch Alert]]: Penny has done it all, she attempted to run away to the orphanage to diminish everyone's zeal, and uh oh, she has lost her dignity... Madame Medusa and Mr. Snoops picked up her whole distinction and completely mugged it! Hopeless and lost, she figures out a solution to mend it.

* [[Blondes Are Evil]]: Penny

* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: [[Hand Wave]] in ''The Rescuers'' where Rufus the Cat says that he's "too old to be chasing mice". Played straight in the sequel.

* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Subverted and lampshaded in the first film; ironically, [[Don Bluth]] worked on it.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|Penny's teddy bear.}}

* [[Children Are Innocent]]

* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: Wilbur in ''Down Under''. "Get it? A fair fare? It's a... a play on... never mind."

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]]: Uh oh, Penny has already exposed her mischievousness and bullying and took it too far! Now that she has made people angry, they start to ignore her... but when she was crying on the balcony, while the song "Someone Is Waiting For You" is playing, she deliberately calls for help, but all the animals start to invoke this trope.

* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Madam Medusa. [[Stock Footage|In Cruella De Vil's car]], even.

** This becomes a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]] when you consider she was originally intended to be Cruella De Vil.

* [[Evil Poacher]]: McLeach.

* [[Evil Redhead]]: Madame Medusa.

* [[The Faceless]]: Cody's mom.

* [[Fed to The Beast]]: Mcleach tries to feed Cody to crocodiles in the climax of "The Rescuers Down Under"

** [[The Hero]]: Bernard

** [[The Lancer]]: Miss Bianca

* [[Hair of Gold]]: Cody

* [[Happily Adopted]]: {{spoiler|Penny's wish of being adopted finally comes true at the end of ''Rescuers''.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]

* [[I Don't Like the Sound of That Place]]: Devil's Bayou.

* [[Large Ham]]: Orville, Wilbur and Frank, albeit to a lesser extent then the villains.

* [[Love Hungry]]: Madame Medusa.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Evinrude is a well-known manufacturer of boat engines. It's also the name of the dragonfly that powers the leaf boat the mice use in the first film. Could also be considered a [[Shout Out]].

** Same with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orville_Wright Orville], the albatross.

* [[Parrot Expowhat]]:

{{quote| '''Mouse Doctor''': Bring me the [[Chainsaw Good|Epidermal Tissue Disruptor!]]<br />

* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Bianca in ''Rescuers'' as well as Medusa.

* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]: For a poacher, McLeach does not handle his rifle properly, the first instance of this being when he uses it (already loaded and cocked, mind you) to pull Cody out of a trap.

** Originally, ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' was supposed to be a Rescuers TV series. Consider the [[Expies]]:<br />Chip + Dale = Bernard<br />Gadget = Bianca<br />Monterey Jack = Jake<br />Zipper = Evinrude the dragonfly

** Had Penny not been replaced with Jenny, ''[[Oliver and Company]]'' would have instead been Disney's first sequel/spin-off in the canon, preceding ''Down Under'' by two years.

* [[Who Watches the Watchmen]]: Penny has been doing way too many pranks that have got people ticked! So they decided to tell the world about her, and now the government... along with their appeal... is on a quest to figure out the true potential of Penny!
