The Rescuers

The Characters

• Bernard: He is a New York-sounding mouse that has one job: janitor. He is the most superstitious of the gang as he suffers from Triskaidekaphobia (13 steps on the ladder, Flight 13, 13 steps on the stairs, Friday the 13th), and hates flying.
• Miss Bianca: She is a Hungarian-sounding mouse that is adventurous. She loves Bernard, and sometimes uses a little humor in problems.
• Madame Medusa: She is a villainess and only cares about The Devil's Eye, an enormous diamond. She has two pet alligators: Nero and Brutus.
• Penny: She is a small orphan girl, abducted by Madam Medusa because she's small enough to fit into the hiding place of The Devil's Eye and retrieve it. She has a beloved teddy bear, which Madame Medusa uses at one point as a new hiding place for the diamond.
• Mr. Snoops: He's the partner of Madame Medusa. He is also greedy and hates Penny. His character is based on animation historian John Culhane, who was constantly snooping around the studio at the time the film was made, hence the character's name.
