The Rescuers (1977) — Politics in Motion

This week, I dive into the beginning of the Dark Ages of Disney. In the middle of the Bronze Era, we have a story about 2 mice rescuing a child from an abusive, horrible woman, but it's set with overtones of women's lib and international cooperation.

This episode's cover art was created by Linz. Check out more of her work on her Instagram.

My theme music was composed and played by Shawn Rudolph of Let Music Be.
