TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 3h The Great Mouse Detective is one of Disney’s most underrated animated films, offering a clever Sherlock Holmes–style mystery set in a charming world of mice and rats. Released during Disney’s lesser-known 1980s era, the film still stands out for its strong storytelling and memorable characters. Basil of Baker Street is an engaging and intelligent lead whose partnership with Dawson keeps the mystery entertaining and balanced. The screenplay blends humor, suspense, and heart, making it accessible for kids while still engaging adults. The animation is detailed and expressive, capturing Victorian London with creativity and atmosphere. Ratigan is a standout villain, bringing charisma, danger, and humor to every scene. His presence elevates the entire film and gives Basil a worthy opponent. The pacing remains steady, and the direction keeps viewers invested from start to finish. Overall, The Great Mouse Detective is a timeless, fun, and well-crafted Disney classic that deserves more See more Tom C. @tom6161 Jan 11 Captivating and brilliant .. Basil of Baker Street is all time See more Kevin P Dec 18 An incredibly fun and underrated Disney movie that often gets overshadowed by the Disney Renaissance. It's more entertaining than it has any right to be. Basil is such a funny and clever protagonist. He's blunt and egotistical, but he's legitimately awesome. The villain Ratigan is hilarious and ruthless, voiced brilliantly by Vincent Price. Price is having so much fun in the role as this flamboyant playful diva who's trying to look suave while barely holding in his primal rage that is only blessed at the end when his true colors come out. It's so much fun watching these two brilliant egos clash with their high stakes petty rivalry. The rest of the characters are all really likable. Ratigan's villain song is a great musical number that ends on a dark note. I love Ratigan's elaborate and petty death trap for Basil. The climax on Big Ben was brutal as Ratigan finally snaps and shows his true colors. It's a pleasant surprise for such a lesser-known Disney movie, and an easy recommendation.

The guy just gave up easily over being outsmarted by a criminal, that’s a bit nonsense. See more Read all reviews
