DJ's Top 15 Disney Rescues

DJ's Top 15 Disney Rescues

Hey there, DJ here. Sorry for the long wait on this. REal life stuff, you know the drill. But I'm thinking of puting some of my list ideas I had on here. So you know, I do not own any o the images used here, they belong to Disney. Now...her's some honorable mentions right away:

  • Cinderella's animals save her from the attic
  • Kenai's oldest brother saves him from the middle brother (Brother Bear)
  • Ray vs. the Shadows (Princess and the Frog)
  • Anna saves Elsa (Frozen)
  • Nick helps Judy against Bogo (Zootopia)
  • Pocahontas saving John Smith (Pocahontas)
  • Hercules gets Meg out of Styx (Hercules)
  • Milo and co. Save Atlantis (Atlantis the Lost Empire)
And now...for the list:

15. Thomas and the Alley Cats save Duchess (Aristocats)

Ah, the Aristocats...a raher underrated film in my opinion :P It's a rather nice story with an endering cast-

...QUESTIONABLE things nonewithstanding (it's the 1970s, times have changed)

ANYWAY...after Roguefort gets the alleycats to help them out, they stop Edgar the Butler from sending Duchess and her kids to Timbuktu (literally). Well...Thomas is there to save the day with the aid of the cats.

YEs this is one of the hero victories on this list, but it's still a good moment to start this list off with. It shows that even alleycats can be heroes.
14. Baloo's distraction (Jungle Book)

Image result for Louie and Baloo Dancing

...OH COME ON, IT'S TOO EASY TO NOT PUT ON HERE! XP When Moglii is kidnapped by Monkeys while under Baloo's care, he and Bagheera make a plan-okay, Baloo makes a plan and it results in this:

It appeared in the newest live action movie, but it wasn't as hilarious as this XD It's fun, upbeat and enjoyable. But hey, who doesn't want to see a Sloth Bear scat against an orangutan while wearing a grass skirt? XP
13. Robinsons vs. The T-Rex (Meet the Robinsons)


...eyeah, I don't know how well this thought was thought through, but it was awesome all the way! XD AFter a rousing speech from Franny Robinson, the Robinsons meet up wtih a honking T-rex infront of their house-Time Travel, am I right?-who goes after Lewis. So what do the Robinsons do? They FIGHT AN F-ING T-REX, that's what!

T-Rexes running on trains, Adam WEst driving a Space Craft that shoot out pizza dough, Squid and Meatball Cannons AND a funny gif? What more can you want in this crazy scene? This shows that thsi movie is just crazy fun, nothing more XP It's kinda low on the list since...yeah, it's kinda ridiculous, but it's a FUN kinda ridiculous.
12. Pongo and Perdita saves the puppies (101 Dalmations)

What's the DUMBEST thing one can do to a litter of puppies? Take them from their parents when they are too young, that's what. When these two go off to find their lost puppies, they go to the head out to find them and save them from the dreaded Cruella de Vil. This leads to them coming in just in time to save Tibbs and the 99 other puppies from Horace and Jasper

Do NOT mess with dogs, people...just...don't mess with dogs.
11. Basil figures out the Trap (Great Mouse Detective)
Image result for Smile Everyone Great Mouse Detective(Smile everyone! :D)

Basil of Baker Street is Sherlock Holmes in mouse form. What's more to love? BUT when Ratigan tricks him and he's at an all time low...there seems to be no hope. But after an accidental words of inspiration from Dawson, Basil gets an idea that saves them and will help them save the queen later:

The timing is perfect at this as the chain of events make it even more awesome than you'd think something like this would go. SHows you who's the real genius mouse in England is, huh? And as Basil says, Smile everyone! :)
10. The Waterfall Scene (A Goofy Movie)

Never thought that there would be on here, huh? I honestly find this moment to be a rather underrated gem in the Disney Canon :P But in all, this scene is the est in the entire thing. Here's a clip (I found it wiht some fitting music. great job to the man behind the video!)


And yes, Goofy almost DIED in this movie! That's gonna be a bit shocking for this kinda movie, huh? Welp, thank goodness for the Perfect cast. This is one vacation to remember. If you want to see the original scene, go watch the movie ;; It'll help a lot.
9.Image result for Bolt movie Fire Bolt Saves Penny from the burning building (Bolt)


ignoring Miley Cyrus'...questionable image right now, this movie is still a rather well-made film and it has a rather grueling moment after the fake!Bolt nearly causd the building to burn down.

It's tense, it's heart wrenching, and it has a good pay off. Even there won't be a Bolt 2, I'm happy that this movie at least had a good ending.
8. Fagin saves the animals and Jenny (Oliver and Company)

When the Dogs and oliver go after Jenny, they are met with some bumps. But before Sykes can sick Roscoe and Desotto against them, who would've thought it'd be the resident lovable rogue himself, Fagin, that saves them!

Lets remember that that Fagin, for the entire movie was AFRAID of Sykes. That shows how brave he is aganist someone like Sykes. Plus the chase afterward was very tense and throughout the whole thing, Fagin was trying to hep them out. Dodger and Oliver do their own fair share of heroics in it, but it's Fagin who did the saving thsi time.
7. Tarzan saves Jane from the Babboons (Tarzan)
Image result for TArzan Baboon
Yeah, this is a funny scene, but it's a really good rescue too. After Jane causes a baby baboon to cry, she ends up getting an angry horde of them after her Belle-inspired-dress tail, but then she gets saved by her knight-in-loincloth himself, Tarzan!

It's fast, energetic, the animation is beautiful to look at. PLUS that moment with the tree was funny to watch honestly XP But in all, this is one way for romantic leads to meet if I ever saw one.
6. Stitch saves Lilo from Gantu/Gas in lava (Lilo and Stitch)


Lilo and Stitch, who would have seen their success coming, huh? Welp, there was a big moment in this film near the end where Gantu has gotten Lilo captive after catching STitch and her together. So after a guilt trip to Jumba and Pleakley, Stitch goes out to save Lilo from Gantu in the most badass way possible! It starts with a rather simple gas tanker...

WHICH he uses to rocket himself into Gantu's ship, piledrive the several-foot tall human whale and save Lilo in one fail swoop. Cute and Fluffy just got a lot tougher!
5. Mulan and co SAve he Emporer (Mulan)

 (BE A MAN!...OR WO-MAN!)

Couldn't resist there, moving on. Anyway, after devisinga plan to save the emperor from Shan Yu, the small band of heroes go toe to toe with the huns and escape with the emproer in tow...

Gotta love this scene XP Shows that a little team work can lead to the defeat of one of the most ruthless villains in the Disney Rogues gallery. With the force of a great typhoon, they take down the Huns and save the day! They even roast that freaky hawk. Gotta love that XP
4. Ariel saves Eric (Little Mermaid)

After seeing Eric for the first time, there is a hurricane that comes and destorys his ship and nearly leaves him to drown. But thanks to Ariel, he's alive to see another sail.
Honorable mention also goes to Eric saving Max as well, but this does start a trend of the female leads saving the male leads just as often. It wasn't started later than this, people XP Don't underestimate this mermaid.

3. Beast saves Belle (Beauty and the Beast)
Image result for Beast Saves Belle from wolves

After the Beast freaks out at her, Belle finds her out in the middle of winter in a snow storm...in a forest full of hungry wolves. While she evades them for awhile on Phillipe the horse, the two find themselves cornered...if not for a certain cape-wearing Chimera.

And in return for saving her life, Belle takes him home to patch him up. Thiss how their romance really begins, people; it's not Stockholm syndrome...its Belle seeing that, despite his attitude and his...rather poor choices, Belle sees that there is at least some good in the Beast and wishes to repay that kindness in full.
2. Mufasa saves Simba (Lion King)
Image result for Mufasa saving Simba
(puts up ashield) EASY NOW PEOPLE! Before anyone gets out the pitchforks and knives, let me say this okay; Is Lion King great? Yes. Is this a powerful scene? Yes. Now...I do really enjoy this scene, but I do think that it being this high has to count for something, right?

Okay...to be real now, this is the scene that everyone remembers from this movie: Scar tricks Simba, and then the Hyenas send down a stampede down at him so Mufasa can die under it. But despite that...the song, the animation, the tense atmosphere...it adds so much to this scene. And also why it gets knocked down a peg? The rescuer kinda dies ;;

Now...I bet you're wondering what beat this. WELL...it's this:
1. SANTUARY! (Hunchback of Notre Dame)
Image result for Hunchback Of Notre DAme Disney Sanctuary
Allow me to set the scene for you: A morbid man has an innocent woman up on a stake, the Archdecan is unable to stop it, the entire city is shouting against it, and the hero is locked in chains. The man asks the woman to come with him or be burned...and she choses the fire. This is the scene from Disney's Hunchback of NOtre Dame, showcasing one of the most POWERFUL Scenes in animation they have done in a long time.

IT's all amaszing! Tony Jay's very prescense helps Frollo in this scene of course, but the animation is very grand, showing the gravity of this situation. You can feel the church shake as the bells ring in your ears and then the Latin choir comes in, making it even more epic as Quasimodo shatters the chains that bind him, grab a rope and swings down to save his friend...and says the most famous line in Victor Hugo's books: SANCTUARY! SANCTUARY! SANCTUARY!
