DVD Review: The Great Mouse Detective
Easily one of the most underrated films in the vast library of Disney films, The Great Mouse Detective delivers on all ffronts: ented rtainemnt, action and animation.
Basil is a famous British detective who finds his old nemesis Dr. Ratigan kidnapping an inventor. Along with his new assiistant Dawson and the inventor's duaghter and his trusty dog Toby, he'll have to stop Ratigan...before it's too late!
Obviously, the film stars mice and the 1986 Disney artists used a lot of creativity here, making this micey world seem very real and using inventive objects to use as halls and stools. However, the main standout has to be Vincient Price as Ratigan. The master of fright delights as the nemesis, singing and giving him an edge that Glen Keane's brilliant animation complements perfectly.
It may not be the Lion King, but The Great Mouse Detective delivers as an enetertaining slice of Disney and mouse cinema.
Rating: 8.8 out of 10 or A-
