Product Description

Amazon.ca

Just because Walt Disney created contemporary and traditional classics of animation doesn't mean the studio is out of ideas--not by a long shot. The Great Mouse Detective is richly animated and offers a clever tale. It may not be as easily recognized a title as Aladdin or The Little Mermaid, but all three share the same director, Ron Clements. Originally released theatrically in 1986, the mystery borrows easily from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and is based on Eve Titus's book Basil of Baker Street.

When a brilliant toymaker is kidnapped by a creepy peg-legged bat, his daughter, Olivia, enlists the aid of the legendary Basil. Basil, Olivia, and Basil's assistant, Dr. Dawson, are part of an intricate city system of Victorian-era London mice. Basil quickly realizes his archenemy, Professor Ratigan (a rat who wants to be a mouse), is behind the abduction. Ratigan (voiced by Vincent Price) fiendishly aspires to take over London rodents--and will stop at nothing to achieve his greatest desire. The unlikely trio of good guys become heroes, of course. The engaging story line is a perfect introduction to Doyle's work and mysteries in general. Look for a very cleverly executed voice-cameo by Basil Rathbone (as Sherlock Holmes, natch). Alan Young (Mr. Ed) also provides a voice. Ages 4 and up. --N.F. Mendoza

4.0 out of 5 stars The Game's Afoot! Oct 31 2010
By Claire Stemp
Format:DVD
As a Sherlock Holmes fan, I found this film utterly delightful. I first saw it when I was a kid, but it's definitely held up over the years. The script is clever and surprisingly funny, with a number of Sherlockian references. I was also very impressed with the cast, especially Barrie Ingham as Basil and Vincent Price as Professor Ratigan. This is a fun-filled romp the whole family can enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Movie! Feb 2 2004
By Calinira
Format:DVD
I saw the Great Mouse Detective for the first time in a movie theater and I liked it, it's not as good as the classic Disney movies but it's pretty enjoyable and it's take on Sherlock Holmes is clever. I would recommend this movie to older kids and adults. Some younger children who are just starting to watch movies may find it hard to sit through this one but they just may like it when they are older. I'm glad that the movie on the DVD is presented in widescreen. The second time I watched The Great mouse Detective was on one of those movie channels and it was edited in fullscreen and it just wasn't as impressive as it was in it's original aspect ratio!

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, Fun, and just plain excellent! Jun 8 2004
By BB & Ace
Format:DVD
My first memory of this movie was when my Dad rented it from the video store for us kids. I don't remember my mother watching it with us, but I do know as a child it fascinated me, and my Dad actually got into it, too. My sister and I were looking to expand our DVD collection of good movies without all the garbage that most "adult" movies have. We thought of this one and found it at Wal-Mart. After watching it again, I can say it was just as thrilling! The voice talent, Vincent Price included (since I am a big Batman fan and enjoyed his rendition of egghead), carried well through the movie without sounding the least bit fakey. The take on a mouse detective named Basil of Baker Street living inside the home of the real Sherlock Holmes is one of the smartest movie ideas ever. The plot never slows. The movie progresses at a good clip and keeps you interested. The humor and climax are totally original. Nothing completely predictable and nothing borrowed here. Adults will love this just as much as kids. It's one of those movies that's simply good all the way through.
