The film was also known as The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective for its 1. Basil the Great Mouse Detective in some countries. The main characters are all mice and rats living in Victorian London. Based on the childrens book series Basil of Baker Street by Eve Titus, it draws heavily on the tradition of Sherlock Holmes with a heroic mouse who consciously emulates the detective Titus named the main character after actor Basil Rathbone, who is best remembered for playing Holmes in film and whose voice, sampled from the Red Headed League was the voice of Holmes in this film, 1. Interestingly, Sherlock Holmes also mentions Basil as one of his aliases in the Arthur Conan Doyle story The Adventure of Black Peter. After the failure of the previous Disney animated feature film, The Black Cauldron, this simpler film proved to be a success upon its initial release in 1. As such, the new senior management of the company were convinced that their animation department was still a viable enterprise and this set the stage for the Disney Renaissance. It should be also noted that this is the film which saved Disneys Animation Studios from going bankrupt at the time12. Despite not being well known upon its original release, in recent years, the film has been regarded as a cult classic. Plot. In London 1. Scottish Welsh mouse named Olivia Flaversham was celebrating her birthday with her toymaker father, Hiram. Suddenly, Fidget, a bat with a crippled wing and a peg leg, bursts into the Flavershams workshop, and after a short struggle disappears with Hiram. It was later revealed that the evil Professor Ratigan kidnapped Hiram to create a clockwork robot which mimics the Queen of the Mice so Ratigan can rule England. Hiram refuses to take part in Ratigans scheme, whereupon Ratigan orders Fidget to capture Olivia. If Hiram refuses to cooperate, Ratigan will have Olivia fed to his pet cat, Felicia. Then Olivia searches to find Basil of Baker Street, a world famous detective and Ratigans archnemesis. Dr. David Q. Dawson stumbles upon Olivia, and helps her find Basils residence. At first Basil was reluctant, but when Olivia mentions the peg legged bat that kidnapped her father, Basil realizes that this was his chance to capture Ratigan. Basil and Dawson then uses Sherlock Holmes pet, a Basset Hound named Toby, to track Fidgets scent to a nearby toy store. Fidget was surprised by Basil, Dawson, and Olivia in the toyshop where he was stealing clockwork mechanisms and toy soldiers uniforms for Ratigans plan.

Basil and Dawson pursue Fidget but become entangled in some toys and fall behind, giving Fidget enough time to escape with all the materials he needs, along with Olivia. While searching the shop, Dawson discovers Fidgets forgotten checklist, which details everything Fidget has taken with him. Basil and Dawson return to Baker Street, where Basil discovers by means of close examination and some chemical tests that the list came from the riverfront, and they look for a small tavern near the Thames where the sewer would connect to the river. Basil and Dawson disguise themselves as sailors and go into the tavern, inquiring for Ratigan. As they wait, Fidget stumbles through the pub. The two follow Fidget through some pipes to Ratigans headquarters, only to discover that Ratigan and his henchmen had prepared for their arrival. Triumphant, Ratigan ties them to a spring loaded mousetrap, connected with a Rube Goldberg machine made of a gun, a crossbow, an axe, and an avil. Ratigan sets out for Buckingham Palace, where Fidget and his accomplices manage to defeat Royal Guard and kidnap the queen. Basil briefly despairs at being outwitted, but snaps out of it just in time to deduce the traps weakness and escape. Back at Buckingham Palace, Ratigan forces Hiram to operate the toy Queen, while his men pose as Royal Guards and the real Queen was being taken by Fidget to be fed to Felicia. The fake queen declares Ratigan ruler of all Mousedom, and, after thanking his robotic consort he announces his tyrannical plans for his new subjects, including several unfair taxes. Just then, Basil, Dawson, and Olivia saves Hiram and the real Queen, and apprehend Fidget along with Ratigans other two henchmen Bill Lizard and one mouse. Basil then seizes control of the mechanical mouse queen, forcing it to denounce Ratigan as an impostor and tyrant, all the while breaking into pieces. The crowd, enraged by Ratigans treason, start climbing onto him and defeating his shanty guards. Ratigan frees himself and escapes on his dirigible with Fidget, and holding Olivia hostage. Basil, Dawson, and Hiram create their own craft with a matchbox and some small helium filled balloons, held under the Union Jack. A high speed chase above the city ensues. Ratigan throws Fidget who cant fly into the Thames River below to lighten the load, and then attempts to drive the dirigible himself. Basil jumps on to the dirigible to confront his nemesis however, with no helmsman, Ratigan was unable to steer his craft, and it ends up crashing straight into Big Ben. Inside the clock, Ratigan and Basil face off in a final battle. Basil rescues Olivia and safely delivers her to Hiram, who was still on the balloon with Dawson. Ratigan plunges into Basil, and they both fall onto the clocks hour hand. The fight ensues, and Ratigan begins to viciously thrash Basil. It seems as if Basils luck was about to run out until the clock bell tolls and Ratigan plunges off the hand taking Basil with him, however Basil saves himself just in time with the motor of Ratigans destroyed dirigible. Back at Baker Street, Basil and Dawson recount their adventures as well as the queens gratitude to their saving her life, and afterwards, the Flavershams leave. Dawson figures its time for him to leave as well, but the scene was interrupted by a distraught new client. Basil then persuades Dawson to remain as my trusty associate, Doctor Dawson, with whom I do all my cases. Production. The layouts were done on computers, and the use of video cameras made a digital version of pencil testing possible. The movie was also notable for its early use of computer generated imagery CGI for a chase scene that takes place in the interior of Big Ben. The movements of the clocks gears were produced as wire frame graphics on a computer, printed out and traced onto animation cels where colors and the characters were added. The Great Mouse Detective is sometimes cited as the first animated film from Walt Disney Pictures to use CGI in reality, 1. The Black Cauldron has this distinction. Olivia was originally intended to be an older character with the potential as a love interest for Basil or even an infatuated Dr. Dawson, before it was decided that she should be a child to better gain audience sympathy. While Basil and Dawson were visually based on Rathbone and Bruce, their voices and personalities were not. Basils voice was based on Leslie Howards portrayal of Henry Higgins in the film Pygmalion while Dawsons voice was based on Disney animation legend Eric Larson. We didnt want to make them simply miniature versions of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, Clements affirmed. Dawsons not a buffoon.
