The Rescuers follows two brave mice from the Rescue Aid Society, Bernard and Miss Bianca, as they set out to save children in danger. With the original film and its adventurous sequel, this guide keeps the mission in order.

The Rescuers is a charming Disney classic about a pair of mouse agents who travel the world to help those in need. The gentle first film and its more action-packed sequel showcase the courageous duo of shy Bernard and elegant Miss Bianca. Together the two movies form a beloved, if compact, franchise from Disney's animated library.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order is simple, with the original film followed by its sequel more than a decade later.

  1. The Rescuers (1977)
  2. The Rescuers Down Under (1990)

The Rescuers Down Under was notable as Disney's first animated theatrical sequel, trading the original's mystery tone for a sweeping Australian adventure.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

The chronological order matches the release order, with the sequel following the same characters on a new mission.

  1. The Rescuers (1977)
  2. The Rescuers Down Under (1990)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch the 1977 original first to meet Bernard and Miss Bianca and learn how their partnership begins, then enjoy The Rescuers Down Under for a bigger, more thrilling adventure. Both films largely stand on their own, but watching in order lets you appreciate the growth of the characters' relationship. With just two entries running in sequence, it is an easy and rewarding double feature.
