The Great Mouse Detective

Here’s an often-overlooked gem from the Disney animated canon.

The young Olivia lives with her doting toymaker father in Victorian London’s rodent underworld. When her father is suddenly and mysteriously kidnapped, she enlists the help of Basil of Baker Street, a brilliant but eccentric mouse detective, who quickly realizes the culprit behind the kidnapping: his arch-nemesis, the nefarious Professor Ratigan (Vincent Price).

Inspired by the tales of Sherlock Holmes, the detective must use his wits to unravel and foil Ratigan’s sinister plot.

The Great Mouse Detective offers an engaging blend of mystery, action, and gentle scares that makes for a cozy movie night adventure. The film is rated G and is appropriate for the whole family.
