The Great Mouse Detective 1-Disc Box Set DVD

The Great Mouse Detective is the warmly remembered animated feature from 1986 drawn from the broader source novel that follows the brilliant detective mouse Basil of Baker Street as a young mouse named Olivia recruits him to find her kidnapped father, leading the broader investigation deep into the broader Victorian London underworld where the famously sinister rat Professor Ratigan has plans for the broader mouse community. The tone keeps the warm storybook adventure register of the broader source novel while leaning into the more energetic broader detective-mystery beats. Watching it feels like a heartfelt animated chapter book delivered with care.
