Despite being very different films in production around the same time and released in the same year (one being a lighthearted Creator/{{Disney}} children's animated film with some dark elements, and the other being a less critically-acclaimed adult horror film directed by Creator/TobeHooper of ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'' and ''Film/{{Poltergeist}}'' fame), they both feature homicidal, psychologically unstable villains whose lairs are located in creepy bayous, with pet crocodilians that end up turning on them at the end of their respective appearances. Of course, ''Eaten Alive'' was also inspired by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Ball a real-life case]] as well.

** (This is actually because "Rescue Rangers" was originally supposed to be a ''The Rescuers'' TV series until the executives said that ''The Rescuers'' wasn't popular enough to get a profiting TV series, and that it would work better with Chip'n'Dale. There are some things left of it — including the name.

to:

* IIRC, the charter of the Mouse Prisoners' Aid Society is to comfort prisoners, especially poets, because poets have spoken well of mice in their poetry. And Miss Bianca in particular has a soft heart, and can't bring herself to leave children in danger.




to:

* It should be noted that Penny isn't all that timid; she has apparently tried to run away more than once, isn't very afraid of the alligators OR Mr Snoops, does a snappy imitation of Madam Medusa, and has parts of an escape plan already put together. (Also, I think Penny's hair is closer to light brown than blonde.)

Ever notice how Penny's adoptive mom looks like a grown-up version of Penny? What if they're actually related and she just so happens to be Penny's aunt or older sister? Or perhaps even Penny's biological mother? She could, for example, have given her up for adoption as a poor single mother and then ended up adopting her own daughter (not necessarily consciously) after her life situation improved and she married?

Bianca is Hungarian, which was Communist-controlled at the time, and yet she's as Aristocratic as they come. Either she's a party elite of the Hungarian Mouse Communist party that can get away with it, or why should the mice care about what humans think?
