The clues are in, the chase is on, and the case of the century is about to break wide open in Disney's greatest little mystery in history! Let THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE take you on an adventuresome journey through the cobblestone streets of 1897 London, where some suspicious "mousechief" is the suspenseful start to this thrilling musical adventure. Olivia, the brave daughter of a beloved London toymaker, turns to Basil of Baker Street for help with her father's disappearance. Basil's jolly assistant, Dr. Dawson, and loyal dog Toby lend a hand ... and nose ... as they sniff out clues through their charming miniature world. The final chase leads to Professor Ratigan (Vincent Price), a hard-hearted criminal whom Basil must outwit to save all of Mousedom!

Critics Consensus: The Great Mouse Detective may not rank with Disney's classics, but it's an amiable, entertaining picture with some stylishly dark visuals.

Eddie Harrison

... never less than enjoyable, but there’s a few narrative flourishes, like the wonderfully elaborate manner of execution prepared for Holmes, that look forwards to the best comic exaggerations of the later Disney style...

The film is a technical marvel and there is no denying the strength of Vincent Price, but the mystery is mishandled and the protagonists are simply not fun to be around.

The characters are all very well devised and the plot is enormously unique.

The Great Mouse Detective is Disney's definitive revitalization starting point. While incomplete, it was this vision that would make them viable again.

Older kids may be less enthused by this mousy story, though parents, particularly Basil Rathbone fans, will marvel at the accuracy with which this sophisticated homage hits Holmes.
