‘The Rescuers: 35th Anniversary Edition’ Two Movie Collection Come to Blu-ray August 21

I consider ‘The Rescuers’ and ‘The Rescuers Down Under’ two of the most under appreciated animated Disney films. I feel like they don’t have the following that many of their other films have, even though they’re two of the most perfect adventure films to come out Walt Disney Animation.

So you could definitely understand my excitement when I found out that both these films were headed to blu-ray, for the first films 35th Anniversary, on August 21, 2012! These are two of my favorite Disney animated films, and two I figured that would be left towards the end of Disney’s vault releases, as they’ve slowly begun releasing all their animated films on blu-ray. But to get both movies, together, and so close to the beginning of this whole high def release schedule, I’m incredible happy.

If you’ve never seen either of the films, I highly recommend checking them out when the blu-ray arrives in just a few weeks. They’re perfect adventure films for the whole family to enjoy, and I for one am so, so excited to add them to my blu-ray collection.
