Line 128:
* [[Mob War]]: The Rescuers
* [[Mouse World]]
* [[My Car Hates Me|My Swampmobile Hates Me]]: Medusa is not a very patient woman and she gets a brief dose of karma for this whenever her Swampmobile fails to start immediately, as shown during the scene when Penny escapes the boat. It's also played for drama when Penny tries to work it herself, but thanks to the critters, they are able to fix a sparkplug and get it working. This just goes to show that Medusa is not the greatest problem solver in the world.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: The villainess of ''The Rescuers'' is named Madame Medusa and her pet crocs are Brutus and Nero.
* [[Nice Hat]]: McLeach and Bianca.
Line 140 ⟶ 141:
'''[[John Candy|Wilbur]]''': [[Oh Crap|The epidermal]] ''[[Big "What?"|what?!]]'' }}
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Bianca in ''Rescuers'' as well as Medusa.
* [[Rebellious Prisoner]]:
** [[RebelliousPlucky PrisonerGirl]]: Penny in ''[[PluckyThe GirlRescuers (Disney film)|The Rescuers]] Penny''. She talks back to Snoops, the mook put in charge of watching her when [[Big Bad]] Medusa is in New York, and tries to run away regularly. She also shows no fear of the alligators Brutus and Nero that are sent to fetch her. While she does cry in the privacy of her "bedroom", she keeps maintaining hope that someone will come help her. When Bernard and Bianca appear and says they got her [[Message in a Bottle]], she gains her spirit and helps brainstorm a plan of escape.
** Likewise, Cody in ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'' may be lacking in a few survival skills, due to outright accusing a man with a gun of being a poacher after falling into his traps instead of pretending to thank him and then running off to find the Australian rangers, but he is tough. He refuses to give up the location of Marahute or her eggs, even when threatened with a knife, and tries to rally the other captive animals in Macleach's compound that they need to escape.
* [[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.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: McLeach figuring out how to [[Ransom|get Cody to hand over the eagle]].
Line 157 ⟶ 160:
** ''The Rescuers'': ..."The Rescuers" and "Miss Bianca" by Margery Sharp.
** ''Down Under'': ...characters created by Margery Sharp.
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: Snoops is not as menacing as Medusa, nor is he as intelligent as her, but he seems to be more calm and mature than she is. Not that it doesn't stop her from calling him one a few times.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Wilbur. Justified in that Jim Jordan, who voiced the previous albatross Orville, died of natural causes.
* [[Talking Animal]]: It's left uncertain whether anyone other than Cody and Penny can actually understand the animals in the series.
