Disney’s The Rescuers Fashion & Outfit Guide
For the past few weeks, I’ve found myself watching my old VHS movies, especially movies that I watched when I was a little girl. While doing this, I have found some great underrated films that tend to get lost in between all the princesses, Pixar animated films, and the newest live-action remakes.
They are also a great source of fashion inspiration.
So for my next few posts, I’ll choose one of these underrated movies each week and give you a quick recap of the film and its production, a rundown of each character’s style, and my own real-life recreation of each look.
My first choice is:

The Rescuers (1977)
The 23rd entry in the Disney Animated Canon, The Rescuers premiered in 1977, after Walt Disney’s death. It was the last film Disney had any sort of involvement in and the movie reflects how the company was dealing with the loss of its founder.
The Rescuers has a much darker tone than its predecessors and it’s filled with gut-wrenching feelings of parental abandonment.
The Rescuers was one of the few box-office successes post-Walt Disney and pre-Disney Renaissance, which started with The Little Mermaid in 1989.
It’s also one of the few movies from this era that had a sequel, The Rescuers Down Under, released in 1990.
In the film, little orphan Penny is kidnapped by evil treasure-hunter, Madame Medusa. Penny sends out a message in a bottle asking for help. The message is intercepted by the Rescue Aid Society: an all-mouse organization that dedicate themselves to help little kids in trouble. Bernard (Bob Newhart) and Bianca (Eva Gabor) volunteer to go save her.
The Rescuers Fashion: Bianca
Bianca is the Hungarian representative of the Rescue Aid Society. She is voiced by the fabulous Eva Gabor and, naturally, she is a very feminine and stylish mouse.
