In both the novels and the film, Bernard is a humble everymouse. Still, the filmic Bianca sports a pillbox hat, which reminds us of Jaqueline Onassis and suggests this is a high-born mouse. In the film, Bianca is the Hungarian delegate to the RAS, which makes sense, because Eva Gabor voices the character. In fact, she lives apart from the other mice in a porcelain pagoda, and wears an expensive silver chain around her neck. In Sharp’s original novel, Miss Bianca is a British aristocrat. The mice of the Rescue Aid Society could even have been inspired by the exploits of Basil and Dawson. Although the first film takes place in 1897 and the second film is possibly set in the 1970s, it can be postulated that both films take place in the same fictional world. In a similar vein, the Rescue Aid Society meets in an old suitcase in the basement of the United Nations building in New York City. In fact, the two mice are based at 221B Baker Street, the famous address of Sherlock Holmes. Remember that Basil and Dawson live in the nooks and crannies of human society. The mice take it to the headquarters of a secret society called the Rescue Aid Society. The bottle takes a long journey and winds up on a beach, where it is found by mice. Also, the abandoned riverboat on which Penny is held captive represents the steam-powered technology that characterized the Victorian Era. Notice that in the Victorian Era, lurid novels were often called Penny Dreadfuls. The Rescuers begins with a little girl named Penny writing a note, putting it in a bottle, and dropping it off the balcony of a riverboat. In the spirit of Six Degrees of Separation and Six Degress of Kevin Bacon, I offer these thoughts on the similarities between two of my loves: The Rescuers and Sherlock Holmes. The game is based on the belief that anyone in the Hollywood film industry can be linked through their film roles to the actor Kevin Bacon within six steps. Seventy years later, a parlor game called Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon was invented. Six Degrees of Separation refers to a theory espoused in the 1920s by Frigyes Karinthy, claiming that everyone and everything in the world is six or fewer steps away.

In the movie (and its sequel, The Rescuers Down Under), they are agents of the Rescue Aid Society. In the books, they are agents of the Prisoner’s Aid Society. Like Basil and his Watsonian companion, Dawson, Miss Bianca and Bernard are mice with a mission. A list of Sharp’s books featuring the mice Miss Bianca and Bernard reads almost like a list of Sherlock Holmes pastiches: The Rescuers, Miss Bianca, The Turret, Miss Bianca in the Salt Mines, Miss Bianca in the Orient, Miss Bianca in the Antarctic, Miss Bianca and the Bridesmaid, Bernard the Brave, and Bernard into Battle. In Sharp’s case, her book became much more popular with children. The first novel, The Rescuers, is (not unlike Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories) intended for an adult audience.

The Rescuers is based on a series of books written by a British author, Margery Sharp, between 19. Basil was also the first in a series of novels: Titus wrote five other books featuring Basil. The other film, Star Wars, is also about the rescue of a damsel in distress.
The Rescuers, which is also based on a series of children’s’ books, was one of two 1977 films that captured my interest. Fortunately, The Rescuers did not suffer the kind of title change that The Great Mouse Detective suffered. The title listed in the article is Two Mice Save a Girl. One example is the 1977 animated film The Rescuers. The article lists a number of alternative titles for Disney films invented by employees as a way of lampooning their bosses’ decision. According to a Los Angeles Times article, several Disney employees were dismayed when the company decided to change the title of this film from Basil of Baker Street to The Great Mouse Detective, based on the fear that audience members would not associate the names Basil or Baker Street with detective fiction or Sherlock Holmes. Danlamb23 When Sherlock Holmes fans think about Walt Disney animated films based on the Holmes canon, they naturally think of The Great Mouse Detective, the 1986 film based on Eve Titus’s novel Basil of Baker Street.
