The Great Mouse Detective
This is a fantastic movie and I recamend it for all.

The story takes place in London, 1897, when a toymaker and he daughter, Olivia, were in thier shop when someone tries to brake into the shop. Olivia's father hides her in a cuboard while he tries to stop the intruder. Olivia tries to watch what is going on, but a table was slamed aganced the door she was in and she was trapped inside. She manages to get out moments later, but when she opened the door, the shop was distroyed and her father was gone.

The Dr. David Q. Dawson come into play when he arives in London to find some rest. He is walking along the street when he hears soft crying. He looks into a boot that is lying in the street and finds a small mouse. She tells him that she is trying to find the famous Basil of Baker Street that she had cut out from a news paper artical and Dr. Dawson is willing to help her find Basil of Baker Street.

The two arrive of Basil's house and his maid tells them that he was out, but they were welcome to come in and wait. The two look around the room that was filled with interesting knickknacks when...

The story continues on. I really recomend this to everyone. I hope that this helped you!

The game is a-paw!
It's 1897 in foggy old London, and eminent - albeit diminutive - mouse detective Basil (he resides just below 221 Baker Street, the residence of a certain prestigious human detective) is hot on the case when a toy-maker named Hiram Flaversham (Alan Young) is kidnapped by Basil's archenemy, the vile Professor Ratigan (Vincent Price). Steeped in Victorian atmosphere, the mystery leads our hero from The Queen's palace to Big Ben and all points between. Voice cameos from Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes, and Laurie Main as Dr. Watson are a treat. Based on the Basil of Baker Street series of novels by Eve Titus and Paul Galdone.

Weak and sort of boring...
I'm sorry and I want to apologize to the fans of this film, but I find it rather dark and depressing and pretty much a below-average Disney film. The characters, however are good and nicely crafted, you can feel for the them, feel sad when they are sad and you can laugh at their jokes, the plot is good and well thought up. However, the movie seems to drag on and it is very dark, not like classic Disney formula. This film also seems like a rip-off of the 1977 classic The Rescuers, another film with talking mice off to rescue a cute orphan girl.

All in all, this is a pretty dark and depressing Disney film, perhaps a few minutes of sun and daytime would have worked once in a while. The film is rather enjoyable, but not something you would like to watch more than once.
