The Great Mouse Detective isn't a Disney movie people tend to think of when they think of their classic animated movies, but it is a classic as much of a must have as the likes of The Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast. As for the product delivery, it came in a timely manner and wasn't damaged. It was odd that Amazon packed one little Blu Ray case into a box 10x too big for it rather than a simple padded envelope like usual, but that was an unusual occurrence. It still arrived with no damage so I don't deduct any stars from the rating over it. Again this is a great movie and if you love the classic 2D animated movies, this is a great one for the collection.

The Great Mouse Detective is one hour and fourteen minutes and was released in theaters on July 2, 1986. This was Disney's 26th animated film. The film is base children's book series Basil of Baker Street. The story begins at the Flaversham Toy Shop. It is Olivia's birthday and her father gives her a present. As she is playing with her new toy, Fidget comes in and captures her father. Major Dr. David Q. Dawson finds Olivia crying in a boot and the two find 221B Baker Street; the home of the Great Mouse Detective-Basil. Basil, Dawson, and Olivia, along with Toby (a basset hound) are off to find Olivia's father. In other words the game is afoot. The first stop is at the scene of the crime where Fidget is stealing royal guard's clothes from toy soldiers. While there, Fidget is able to kidnapped Olivia and takes her back to Professor Ratigan's hideout. Professor Ratigan kidnapped Olivia as an incentive to make her father to build the robot of Queen Mousetoria so he can use it to overthrow the real queen. In their quest to find Professor Ratigan's hideout, Basil and Dawson walk into his trap and Professor Ratigan schemes of a cleaver way of killing the two. Basil uses logic and mathematical deductions to get out of the trap. The group head over to Buckingham Palace to free the queen and to rescue Hiram Flaversham. Professor Ratigan takes Olivia hostage and flees Buckingham Palace. Basil, Dawson, and Hiram give chase. The climax of the movie takes place at the top of Big Ben where Basil and Ratigan have their final fight. When the clock bell tolls, the two fall to their deaths, however Basil has managed to grab part of the steering from the dirigible that Ratigan used to make his escape. All four return to Basil's home. An on going gag in the movie is Basil keeps pronouncing Olivia Flaversham's last name incorrectly. During the clock scene, the computer animation is great. The Great Mouse Detective helped launch the Disney Renaissance era. The Great Mouse Detective is a great movie to own and gets an AAAA++++.DVD FEATURESScene SelectionsSet UpBonus MaterialA) The Making of the Great Mouse DetectiveB) Clock Cleaner-Animated ShortC) Donald's Crime-Animated ShortD) "The Worlds Greatest Criminal Mind" Sing-Along SongE) The Great Mouse Detective ScrapbookSneak PeeksA) The RookieB) Mickey's House of VillainsC) Monsters, Inc.D) Beauty and the BeastE) 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London AdventureF) Inspector Gadget 2G) Rolie Polie Olie: The Great Defender of FunH) Schoolhouse RockI) Teamo SupremoPlayVHS PREVIEWSA) Hercules: Zero to HeroB) Doug's 1st MovieC) My Favorite MartianD) Mickey's Once Upon a ChristmasE) Winnie the Pooh: Seasons of Giving

What a treat it is to see an animated feature that doesn't moralise or patronise young children, or drown them in bathos. With ‘The Great Mouse Detective’ the people Disney have gone back to the basics that have delighted children and their parents for half a century.The story takes place in London in 1897. The star is Basil of Baker Street, a brilliant, arrogant and neurotic little Sherlock Holmes of a mouse who plays the violin and is determined, as much out of vanity as virtue, to defeat his evil archenemy, Ratigan. Ratigan uses his evil genius to try to conquer all mousedom. Dr. Dawson, a chubby somewhat blustery mouse aristocrat, recently employed on Her Majesty's Service in Afghanistan, becomes Watson to Basil's Sherlock and the two are engaged to help a poor little girl mouse get her father back. The father, a toy maker who is the film's working-class hero, has been kidnapped by Ratigan's peg-legged bat henchmen. The toy maker is forced to help with a nefarious plan to kill the mouse queen and put Ratigan in control.Unlike many modern cartoons, this story does not take place in never-never land but in a real place, at a specific time. It makes reference to historical figures like Napoleon and literary ones like Sherlock Holmes, giving a much appreciated intellectual grounding. Instead of cheap magic tricks to solve all problems, Basil wins in the end by the force of his intelligence. ''Is there a chance to get her back?'' Dawson asks, disconsolate after the little mouse has been kidnapped by the bat. ''There's always a chance, doctor,'' says our hero, ''as long as I can think.''Small children may be afraid of some of the bad characters, but the Disney Studio's gift for creating really nasty bad guys means that they are scary, but they will love the cute, brave mice and cheer their triumphs. Adults will enjoy the wit and style. This adult really appreciated Basil's straightforward approach. ''No one can have a higher opinion of you than I do,'' he says to Ratigan, the king of crime. ''And I think you are a slimy, despicable sewer rat.'' That's telling him!Of course this isn’t always a good thing. While for the most part the animation is very fluid, especially the celebrated battle between Ratigan and Basil amidst the cogs and gears of Big Ben’s interior, because certain movements, such as when the dog Toby charges away from the camera towards the horizon, look awkward and jarring.The animated film’s greatest strength comes through the bright, consistently entertaining vocal work; there isn’t really a weak link in the cast, with the possible exception of Susanne Pollatschek’s performance as Olivia. Barrie Ingham owns the role of Basil, evoking both the character’s intelligence, tenacity and egomania perfectly. As his trusted sidekick Dr. Dawson, Val Bettin (who would bring The Sultan to life six years later in ‘ALADDIN’), was perfectly cast as a character with a heart of gold who is mostly out of his depth. Of course, the film’s greatest performance comes from the late Vincent Price, whose Ratigan is the ultimate megalomaniac blowhard. Like all great villains Ratigan is immensely colourful, dominating the entire film and usually overshadowing the hero. It’s strange that Ratigan is never included when people talk about great Disney villains; he really is a memorable creation.An entertaining albeit slight feature, ‘The Great Mouse Detective’ gives us an engaging caper plot with effective visuals and voice work. It’s an important entry in the Disney canon to return to for its historical status in the studio’s evolution. It stands as the film which corrected the company’s errors from the immediate past, and paved the way for the artistic explosion that was to come in the immediate future.Blu-ray Video Quality – 'The Great Mouse Detective' gets a very decent quality restoration from Disney is a very solid 1080p encoded image, with a very nice 1.78:1 aspect ratio and will please fans with its relatively clean appearance. Colours are nice and bold though. Much bolder than I remember them being on the previous inferior DVD release. Colour fills are nice and solid, even with the heavy grain. There are a few colour fills that fluctuate in colour shades causing that part of the image to flicker just a tad. In my opinion, besides a few instances of noticeable scratches, it looks like the film had been nicely cleaned of any outside distractions and overall this Disney releases is a very solid presentation.Blu-ray Audio Quality – The Disney 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio mix certainly gives a very expanding and enjoyable listening experience, but doesn’t quite have the same effect as it did with 'Cinderella' or 'Snow White,' so giving 'The Great Mouse Detective' a decent audio mix that never has any really impressive moments of note. What you do get are lightly mixed rear channels that feature some ambient sound like when Basil and Dawson visit a crowded dive bar. A fight breaks out and you can hear some of the commotion playing in the surround channels. Dialogue is centred right up front and is clearly heard. I didn't notice any hissing or static on the mix. Everything sounded as clear as it possibly could. Overly loud sound effects were really the only aspect of this mix that I found a tad troublesome. They did drown out dialogue on a few rare occasions.Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:Special Feature: So You Think You Can Sleuth?

It's a much better prospect than say, the dismal and ghastly atrocious 'Home on the Range.' Plus again we get a very nice video transfer and totally solid audio, this one comes definitely top of my list. Highly Recommended!Andrew C.

Basil The Great Mouse Detective (the name Basil was omitted for the international release) was one of the first VHS tapes that we owned, and consequently was run around the clock for many years to come. Unfortunately, I missed out on any subsequent DVD release and almost forgot about the film entirely as it is rarely broadcast on TV.So I was delighted to find out that it had been released on Blu-ray in the U.S, and that it was also region free!I own about a dozen Disney Blu-rays and this one is up there as one of the most faithful restorations, along with The Little Mermaid. Thankfully, Disney chose not to scrub the film to death or enhance it in any way, so what you're getting is a very filmic presentation with original grain, photographed artefacts and colours. The definition is fantastic! All the details in the background artwork and cel paintings really pop out.It's a pity that there are virtually no extra features - given the movie was released at a turning point for the studio - but I'm just happy to have the movie in HD for such a good price.I have no hesitation in recommending it!
