Walt Disney's The Rescuers (Little Golden Book)


Walt Disney's The Rescuers (Little Golden Book)
The classic Disney cartoon feature transformed into a child's book.
Customer Review: The Rescuers
ISBN 0307000702 - This edition has no author or illustrator listed, so I am assuming all is credited to Disney Studios. The illustrations are absolutely perfect, with the mood set just by them. Fans of the movie are likely to enjoy this telling of The Rescuers. Bernard and Bianca set out to rescue Penny, who is being held prisoner by Madame Medusa on a riverboat in Devil's Bayou. They discover the reason she's holding the girl - Madame Medusa is after a diamond and she plans to lower Penny into the hole where it's hidden. Madame Medusa holds Penny's teddy bear hostage until the jewel is turned over to her. Bernard and Bianca go along with Penny to find the diamond, hoping the girl will be set free once it's located. Things don't go that way, though. It's a good thing to have good friends because the threesome can't handle this situation alone. The story is terribly disjointed. It begins very abruptly, just jumping in with "Bernard and Bianca are going to save Penny". No lead in, like how they know this girl, or anything like that. They're just there, about to go rescue her. The action continues that way, leaping ahead without useful details, all the way to the end. Those who've seen the movie or read the full book won't be lost; others might be. Not terrible, but terribly incomplete. - AnnaLovesBooks
