The Great Mouse Detective

  • The Great Mouse Detective is Disney's 26th full-length animated film. It was first released in 1986 and re-released in 1992. The movie was based on Eve Titus's mouse detective character, Basil of Baker Street who was created in 1958 and drew heavily upon the classic Sherlock Holmes character. The plot of Disney's movie focuses on Basil of Baker Street as he searches for a young Scottish mouse toymaker who has been kidnapped by the evil Professor Padraic Ratigan.

    The movie was one of the first Disney animated films to use computers as a major production tool. The movie's climactic scene inside Big Ben used computer-generated wire frames which were then traced onto animation cels. Sometimes falsely credited as Disney's first foray into computer animation, The Great Mouse Detective was the second to use CGI after 1985's The Black Cauldron.
