The Rescuers (Disney film)/Headscratchers


 * The Rescuers: Anybody noticed how similar this movie is to The Goonies?
 * How so? The only similarity I can think of is that it's about a kid looking for treasure in a flooded cave, and even that's not much of one--in The Goonies, it's the entire plot, while it only occupies the climax of The Rescuers.
 * You seriously don't see the similarities between Madame Medusa and Mama Fratelli?
 * I always thought she paralleled Cruella De Vil more. Besides, Medusa is a re-imagining of one of the Rescuers book's villains, the Diamond Duchess.
 * Funny thing that...Cruella De Vil was actually intended to be the villain at first, but really, could you see her using those gators for anything but shoes? Or that she'd move from genuine fur coats to Diamonds?
 * Rescuers: 1977. Goonies: 1985.
 * Great - now all I can think of is Bernard doing the truffle shuffle.
 * Oh you BASTARD. I can neither get that out my MY head now, nor can I stop laughing about it. Oh, and by extension I keep thinking of the Chairmouse piloting that plane in The Mummy. SCREW.YOU.


 * So McLeach is a wanted man, as evidenced by the WANTED poster we see at the beginning. Given that his truck leaves a trail a blind imbecile could follow, you'd think he'd be easier to find.
