Podcasts about miss bianca

Another beloved children's movie that was inspired by a popular children's series. Originally published in the 1950's, The Rescuers is a series of books that follow Miss Bianca and Bernard as they save the helpless. The first book has them rescuing a poet from an infamous jail, so how did we get to saving an orphan from a swamp?00:00 Intro00:54 Eva Gabor - The Voice of Miss Bianca02:06 Background03:35 Age Level & Content Warning04:20 Judge a Book by It's Cover05:23 Discussion45:35 General Thoughts46:46 One Question for the Author49:16 Rating49:42 Read Again50:31 OutroTikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/lunar_skulk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lunar_skulk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

For the pretzel, the Disney Food Blog reported that the flavors worked well together, but are incredibly sweet. Guests can grab one at the Tomorrowland Pretzel Cart for $7.75. The churro was better than the pretzel, and if you're going for a more mellow flavor, skip the sweet dipping sauce. The churro is at the Tomorrowland Churro Cart for $5.75. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/01/30/review-the-weird-flavor-combination-at-disneyland-that-actually-works/ Happy Lunar New Year!

In this episode of In Search of the Crystal Skull, Patricia and Arun start a themed month looking back at hidden gems starting off with the 1990 animated Disney movie The Rescuers Down Under which is a sequel to the 1977 film The Rescuers. The movie features a young Australian boy named Cody who befriends an eagle Marahute who is laying three eggs. Cody meets up with a poacher named McLeach who is looking for the eagle to sell it for a high price. He kidnaps Cody for him to reveal Marahute's location and a mouse calls the Rescue Aid Society in New York City. Bernard and Miss Bianca take on the mission to go to Australia to rescue Cody with Bernard wanting to propose to Miss Bianca, an Australian Outback mouse named Jake as their brave companion, and the albatross Wilbur going through many obstacles from a busted back to protecting the eagle eggs from McLeach. When the movie premiered, it made only $47.4 million dollars due to being overshadowed by Home Alone which came out around the same time. It's considered the black sheep of the Disney Renaissance films since it came out after The Little Mermaid, but before Beauty and the Beast and had no musical moments with memorable songs. Critics have criticized the lack of story, but praised it due to its beautiful groundbreaking animation with The CAPS System and epic moments with action and atmosphere compared to its predecessor. Viewers appreciated The Rescuers Down Under when it was released on VHS and DVD even if they didn't watch or remember The Rescuers. It currently has a 70% on Rotten Tomatoes. With The Rescuers Down Under seeing as a cult classic, what did Patricia and Arun think of it? Does it hold up over 30 years later? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/old-school-lane/support

Joel also gets to prove Avery wrong, which he loves, about what accent Miss Bianca had the whole time. Also, big time dirty Disney secret in this one!

They were so big that it took more than one continent to contain them. These thirteen things that you probably didn't know about The Rescuers Down Under, should satisfy your cravings for squeaky sleuths until the inevitable live action version comes out. This was Eva Gabor's last film before her death in 1995. A third Rescuers movie was planned for 1996, but after her death, this and all future Rescuers movies were scrapped. In the original Rescuers film, the albatross Orville was voiced by Jim Jordan, who died two years before this film released. The producers didn't want to replace Jordan, so Orville was replaced with the character's brother Wilbur, voiced by John Candy. This is a reference to the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, the inventors and pilots of the first functional airplane. Disney's first animated sequel. This would later carry on with Fantasia 2000 and Winnie the Pooh, whilst the rest of the sequels would be straight to video. This was the first 100% digital feature film ever made. The animation and backgrounds were done traditionally but all of the coloring, many effects, and the final film printing was all done digitally. This was also the first film produced with Disney's Academy Award-winning "CAPS" production system, which cut the production time down by at least six months. On its initial release, this film was preceded by the Mickey Mouse short subject The Prince and the Pauper. Interestingly enough, this was only the second Mickey Mouse short made since the 1950s, with the first being Mickey's Christmas Carol, which was made to accompany the 1983 re-release of The Rescuers. The twisted version of "Home on the Range" that McLeach sings was not performed by George C. Scott. It was instead sung by the voice of Joanna, Frank Welker. This is the least successful film released during the Disney Renaissance between 1989-1999. After it only grossed $27,931,461 from that weekend's box office, Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg pulled all television advertisements for the film. Opening on the same weekend as Home Alone, which went on to gross more than ten times as much, did not help its cause. This financial failure discouraged Disney from releasing subsequent non-computer-animated sequels in theaters with very few exceptions. Originally Wilbur's calendar was to have a picture of Bart Simpson from The Simpsons; which can be seen in the original animatic. A lifelong Disney fan, Bruce Broughton jumped at the chance to compose the score and turned down an offer to score Home Alone to work on this film. Is the last Disney Film to be accompanied by a Featurette that's over 20 minutes long, up until Pixar's Coco 27 years later. The first Disney animated feature to use fully-rendered CG backgrounds. Storyboard artist Joe Ranft constantly bolstered the creative morale of his crew, but rarely drew storyboard sequences himself. In addition to this, Ranft entered creative disagreements with the studio management and marketing executives, including one disagreement where he optioned for the casting of an Aboriginal Australian child actor to voice Cody, which was overridden with the decision to cast "a little white blonde kid." Noting the rise of Americans becoming more environmentally conscious, this marks as the studio's first film since Bambi to have an animal rights and environmental message.

We were HUGE fans of this growing up, watching the bootlegged copy our dad recorded from the TV on the regs, and we credit this movie and Crocodile Dundee with teaching us everything we know about Australia! From 1990, The Rescuers Down Under tells the story of sweet little Cody, a bird lover kidnapped by a the terrifying poacher McLeach who is looking for a rare golden eagle. Bernard and Miss Bianca are two mice from the US who come to save the day as part of the Rescue Aid Society, a worldwide organization run by rodents, that helps kids in trouble.  Even though we hate mice, gosh are those little buddies cute.  We'll chat about all our B-list Disney favs, talk about memorable scenes and one we randomly quote a lot (Pea Soup!), and ruminate on how Disney was able to convince us that there was such a thing as a Golden Eagle the size of a truck.     Theme song performed by Deidre Cullen.

Judgement Day. Empire Strike Back. The Dark Knight. The Godfather Part II. All of these movies have something in common: they are sequels that far surpass the original. But first on that list should be Disney's THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER, which continues to follow the adventures of the glamourous Miss Bianca and the dependable Bernard as they travel around the globe, saving children from larger-than-life danger. Down Under just does everything better - the adventure is bigger, the sidekicks are funnier and more charming, and the villains - oh my god the villains. Add in some gorgeous, groundbreaking animation and its easy to see why this overlooked gem of the early Disney Renaissance is a beloved classic to those in the know. And now you are too, dear listeners. 

This episode is about Miss Bianca from Disney’s The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down under. She is a very smart mouse.

This week on We Want The D, Vicky, Nolan and Jill had the unenviable task of attempting to talk about Disney's animated film THE RESCUERS without completey ignoring it in favour of its far superior sequel. Luckily, it's not as if this episode's movie is bad or anything (aside from the songs, at least) - it's just not as good as what would come later. But considering this is the last Disney picture to come out before the so-called 'Dark Ages' there's actually quite a lot to love. Miss Bianca the mouse is every bit as suave and stylish as you would expect from such a fashion icon, Madame Medusa is every bit as villainous and grotesque as you would expect from a classic Disney baddie, and Penny the orphan is just as adorable and orphan-y as the best of the many, many Disney orphans. And if nothing else, we're now one step closer to talking about one of best sequels in movie history. So join us, D Lovers, and discover just what two little mice can do.

They were so big that it took more than one continent to contain them. These thirteen things that you probably didn't know about The Rescuers Down Under, should satisfy your cravings for squeaky sleuths until the inevitable live action version comes out. 13. This was Eva Gabor's last film before her death in 1995. A third Rescuers movie was planned for 1996, but after her death, this and all future Rescuers movies were scrapped. 12. In the original Rescuers film, the albatross Orville was voiced by Jim Jordan, who died two years before this film released. The producers didn't want to replace Jordan, so Orville was replaced with the character's brother Wilbur, voiced by John Candy. This is a reference to the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, the inventors and pilots of the first functional airplane. 11. Disney's first animated sequel. This would later carry on with Fantasia 2000 and Winnie the Pooh, whilst the rest of the sequels would be straight to video. 10. This was the first 100% digital feature film ever made. The animation and backgrounds were done traditionally but all of the coloring, many effects, and the final film printing was all done digitally. This was also the first film produced with Disney's Academy Award-winning "CAPS" production system, which cut the production time down by at least six months. 9. On its initial release, this film was preceded by the Mickey Mouse short subject The Prince and the Pauper. Interestingly enough, this was only the second Mickey Mouse short made since the 1950s, with the first being Mickey's Christmas Carol, which was made to accompany the 1983 re-release of The Rescuers. 8. The twisted version of "Home on the Range" that McLeach sings was not performed by George C. Scott. It was instead sung by the voice of Joanna, Frank Welker. 7. This is the least successful film released during the Disney Renaissance between 1989-1999. After it only grossed $27,931,461 from that weekend's box office, Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg pulled all television advertisements for the film. Opening on the same weekend as Home Alone, which went on to gross more than ten times as much, did not help its cause. This financial failure discouraged Disney from releasing subsequent non-computer-animated sequels in theaters with very few exceptions. 6. Originally Wilbur's calendar was to have a picture of Bart Simpson from The Simpsons; which can be seen in the original animatic. 5. A lifelong Disney fan, Bruce Broughton jumped at the chance to compose the score and turned down an offer to score Home Alone to work on this film. 4. Is the last Disney Film to be accompanied by a Featurette that's over 20 minutes long, up until Pixar's Coco 27 years later. 3. The first Disney animated feature to use fully-rendered CG backgrounds. 2. Storyboard artist Joe Ranft constantly bolstered the creative morale of his crew, but rarely drew storyboard sequences himself. In addition to this, Ranft entered creative disagreements with the studio management and marketing executives, including one disagreement where he optioned for the casting of an Aboriginal Australian child actor to voice Cody, which was overridden with the decision to cast "a little white blonde kid." 1. Noting the rise of Americans becoming more environmentally conscious, this marks as the studio's first film since Bambi to have an animal rights and environmental message.
