The Rescuers - Penny & Rufus

Rufus the Cat remembers Penny from the orphanage. This scene always made me cry as a kid.

[@JaceDanielFilms]

I'm a grown 27 year old man and this scene kills me every time. When she turns away from Rufus when he tries to comfort her.... good god.

Why is this never talked about or has characters in video games such as kingdom hearts? I never understood that.

It still makes me cry too..

This makes me feel sad. I'm actually crying watching this. I love her. Bless her little soul. 😢😢

I'd adopt penny in a heartbeat!

[@joejohnson3707]

Yeah same here

[@yasminsolomon5746]

This scene is so emotional. I even cried, when ever I watch this scene. And the other scenes with Penny made me really cry. I even cried at the end, when Penny found parents who wanted to adopt her. I found that to be really emotional. But I was happy, her dreams came true. She wanted for nothing - As in she wanted a loving home, with loving parents. I'm watching this, and started crying. xxxx

[@emperorconstantine1.361]

even as a kid, I always though of a human Rufus as a Janitor that loved kids more than his own life, as if he couldn't have kids and yet loved them unconditionally.

[@Phinal_Flash]

I re-watched both Rescuers movies the other day and realized how much more of a compelling character Penny is than Cody.

[@SuperTed19021]

Proves to show in this scene that it is not only dogs who can be man's best friend. This is one of my favourite Disney films. Very underrated The Rescuers is.

[@ProfessorUniverse95]

+SuperTed19021 Or in this case a little girl's best friend :) lol

[@AlisonBryen]

agreed!

[@phosgate54]

I don't remember seeing this film as a child but I recently found it on netflix. This scene gets me every time. For anyone who has been down on faith, this scene hits home.

[@aet523]

[@melissageals]

Penny is too adorable

[@mohammednasseif9210]

The music, the characters, the story, and the articulate drawings....Beautiful in the most truthful way.

[@persephone6896]

Only extra special parents deserve you, penny 💜

[@yasminsolomon5746]

I love Rufus. I love him. I wish he was my friend, because he would make such a great friend. That I could talk to about anything. And he would not think I was weird at all. Infact he would be better towards me, more so then other people. Except my mum, whose great aswell. What does everyone else on here, think about this? xxxx 😊 😊

[@thomasshaftoe461]

Penny finally found a mum and dad in the end.

[@mohammednasseif9210]

This is a masterpiece.

[@buyrainbowstuff1130]

When I was a child I never thought it weird the cat is wearing glasses

No I'm 31 and have only just come to that realisation myself about 30 seconds ago!!!!

I'm not crying, you're crying.

[@ttmackful]

Poor Penny. I'm so glad she's adopted and safe. She is really special, like Rufus said.

[@TheClumsyXeno]

Penny is one of my favorite Disney girls!!

[@lHeartApple]

I'll adopt you Penny, I'll be your father.

[@TheDarkKnightFan285]

I like this movie alot. No one really appreciates the classics anymore. All I hear about is Frozen or Big Hero 6. Movies like this and The Fox and The Hound blows them both out of the water in my own opinion.

[@Judyhopps-1iq]

to bad disney like that is gone

[@battywattywoo]

I'm guessing Penny would rather spend her life with Rufus than with Brutus!

[@andreapatane4204]

Hooray for Rufus, he rescued Penny from the orphanage as seen in a flashback scene of The Rescuers.

[@Lapisangel-ot2yc]

This movie was so sad and sweet

[@ttmackful]

Penny's giggle is super cute!

"Faith, is a blue bird, you see it from afar, is for real and asure as the first evening star, you can't touch it or buy it or rapid up tight, but is there just the same making things turn out right" -Rufus

[@honeysucle10]

Oh gosh, when the music kicks in at the bluebird part... It's amazing how different this particular movie is as an adult. You feel the intensity and depth of Penny's circumstances on a whole new level.

[@melindaday2883]

Faith is a bluebird 💙

[@jamescorriveau5131]

Gotta admit makes me remind of my own cat Mittens. Always comforts me when I'm in a down mood.

[@justinquigley2959]

Penny's teddy bear has got the appearance of Winnie the pooh

[@MsAussie83]

I'd certainly adopt Penny if I could. Girls like her need lots of love and cuddles. I love people of all colors! Children are the most wonderful thing Mother Nature can give us all!

[@debbabe2254]

Rufus: "You're something extra special." Penny: "No, I'm not." Heartbreaking...

[@kryptonianpowers]

I really wish Rufus had said "I love you, too" after Penny told him she loved him.

[@turricanedtc3764]

Given how the scene as a whole played out, I don't think he needed to. On top of that, she yoinked him off to supper so quickly, I don't think he had a chance to!

[@6709ify]

I already love cats, but Rufus just made me love them more! Penny is super adorable! I just wanna hug & kiss her all day!

[@kaltiny1997]

Even as a 7 year old I understood this and bawled my eyes out

My emotions ; __; ♡ What gets me is that cats really are like this.. Even though they can't talk, any cat I've ever had has been there for me and knows when I'm sad. Gotta love good 'ol Rufus

[@wedgewoodproductions7383]

Out of all Doug Walker's Disneycember reviews this one I absolutely disagree with. Calling it boring to the 'obviously' superior thrilling, adventurous Rescuers Down Under and the girl an obnoxious Olson twin designed only to be 'pwecious.' Alright that makes me mad. So his list of priorities of kids need saving seems to be how 'cool' the kid's skill sets are, how capable they already are, and if the kid can ride a giant eagle. A girl with nothing outstanding not worth bothering? Has he not seen the Rufus & Penny scene about how she was looked over by mere 'prettiness' of another? Could the same be said if the girl had a 'cool' skill or trick? That kind of mentality fuels the apathy that which Medusa used to kidnap a girl no one would even miss. You know what, if there's one group of people that can unapologetically be called Mary Sue its orphans, because they genuinely can't help themselves. They little to expand on their lives are being stifled by the lack of a central parental figure with no guidance or direct love, nothing to do but wait for it indefinitely. Mary Sue as an end result for an adult character bad and boring, but an unfortunate circumstance for an adolescence to be saved from, a necessary drive.

[@battywattywoo]

Anne of Green Gables would be cheered if she learned that the red-haired orphan was considered to be the prettiest prize.

[@mella8296]

[@jordansh4445]

cutest scene in the whole movie!

[@joejohnson3707]

I occasionally have weird dreams that involve Medusa and snoops in them. Hardly penny is in them, for some reason. Anyways me and Mr snoops are on good terms, while only Medusa is the antagonist to me and most others in the dream. Isn't that weird?

[@jebwoodford1233]

I really wish I would have named my cat Rufus. He acts so much like him and has a sweet white mustache too.

[@MrCoolneko]

Makes me wish we could all talk to our pets or animals. Maybe they could give us better advice than anyone.

[@joejohnson3707]

Same here Medusa is just jealous.

[@Squirrel36]

Medusa jealous? How?

[@joejohnson3707]

Because she calls penny ugly but keeps putting all these glamorous things on her to try to make her look good, while at that scene she is ugly.

[@Squirrel36]

I see.

[@bridgettebianchi9315]

Oh definitely. You see that she is jealous as an adult!

[@PunkyBear36]

This sequence was animated mostly by Ollie Johnston, with a few scenes at the start by Chuck Harvey, and the bird by Bob McCrea.

[@Iceman785]

[@gerdtt79]

I watched this movie once when I was like 5,then I was 16 the next time I watched it.I rembered this scene better than any other in the movie.

[@danielraymundo3798]

Well disney is kind of screwed up. Instead of building greatness from what disney was formerly known, they choose to sidetrack and impress scoundrels and evildoers. They never understood the concept IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT. what they could have done was improve upon it. Story wise and wholesome family concepts. Wholesomeness and Godliness was what most of the cartoons stood for back then like the rescuers, robin hood, pinocchio and many more. i bet ya Walt Disney would be very angry and disappointed if her were alive and still kicking it.

[@jackcastilla3575]

Because, Madame Medusa is brainwashed by General Sweinhart.

I swear, if the cat would have said, "I love you too", I would have killed myself. They must have realized adding that would just send most people into fits of hysterical sobs.

I don’t have anything against Rufus at least it is nobody’s fault but I think he’s a very blandly underdeveloped character he can irritate me sometimes as much as Marlin (from finding Nemo) Piglet and all the characters from the original lion king

[@meta527II]

I like Penny as a character, but what’s with the upskirt shots they give her? She’s like 7 year old, that’s WAAAAAAAAAY too young to be sexualized. It was weird enough when they did it with Alice who’s like 11.
