The Great Mouse Detective Customer Reviews (4 - 6 of 21 Reviews)

I've finally bought it on DVD!
That's right all you fans of Disney and of this movie, the long awaited DVD of this movie has finally arrived and ready for you to own it.

This 1986 Cult Disney Classic is about a Detective Mouse named " Basil" with new assistant " Dawson" who must find out what clever scheme that his foe " Ratigan" ( voice of Vincient Price) is up to and must reveal the secret of what he is planning to do with London.

a Brilliant and unique animated feature full of incredible animation and it first uses early CGI for some scenes, this is a movie worth owning for Disney and Animation lovers cause on Repeated viewings it never bores you.

The DVD is fantastic, it's got good features like two Cartoons, Behind the Scenes footage, Scrapbook, and the Picture is absolutely perfect without no single Dirt or Grain to appear and the Sound is phenomenal, this is a must own Disney DVD.

Why rated G
This is one of my favorite disney movies,i think that the song 'Goodbye so Soon'could be used in younger classes at the end of the day when its time for the kids to go home,however i don't think that this movie should be rated G,there is a scene in the movie showing mice smokeing and drinking it should of been rated PG.

Overall Enjoyable Experience
I wouldn't consider this a Disney classic in anyway, but I did enjoy watching it quite a bit. The cartoon has a lot going for it. The good guys are likable. Basil and Dr. Dawson are an enjoyable duo to watch, and their dog Toby is extremely lovable (perhaps the cutest Disney character of all time). Another thing going for it is that it is relatively smart making a parady of Sherlock Holmes. Finally, it is extremely well paced with an element of mystery added to it to keep the audience interested and the story moving forward smoothly. However, it is lacking in many aspects that keeps it from earning a five star and the title of a Disney Classic. First of all, the bad guys are disgusting. Ratigan and his cat are extremely disturbing, even for cartoons (I hate rats and fat cats). Secondly, it doesn't have any memorable musical scores. Nothing like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, etc. Thirdly, the plot is somewhat silly. It involves Ratigan trying to make a robot copy of the Queen. Finally, it is lacking scope and importance. The whole movie occurs in the mouse world and there is no interaction with humans like in the Rescuers.
