The Rescuers**   

(US 1977)                        

A New York orphan girl is abducted by pawnbrokers who want her to get the world's largest diamond. Two resourceful mice are appointed to help rescue her.
Enjoyable semi-anthropomorphic Disney animated variation on One Hundred and One Dalmatians, a shade derivative of that and referencing one or two of their other works, with nice moments of ingenuity and some occasionally touching songs.
