The Rescuers (1977) was an Disney cartoon about a society of mice, headquartered in New York and shadowing the United Nations, who go about doing good deeds in the world at large. Two of these mice, a somewhat sloppy and very New York sounding Bernard (Mickey Rooney?) and the elegant, Hungarian sounding Bianca (Gabor?), set about rescuing a kidnapped girl -- with the help of a comical albatross, they set out despite stormy weather.

There was a sequel, set in the Australian outback and utilizing computer graphics for the long initial credits sequence, with a darker and scarier plot. Starring the voice of George C. Scott as a smuggler.
