A forgotten Disney masterpiece. This is probably one of the most unknown Disney classics. For the time the movie was quite new and revolutionary and it doesn't quite fit in with the other movies Disney made in that period.

But "The Great Mouse Detective" deserves to be known and seen. The characters are real classics and one of the best to have ever appeared in a Disney movie. Actually Professor Ratigan voiced by the legendary Vincent Price is quite possibly my favorite movie villain of all time. No wonder that it was Vincent Price's favorite role. His style and humor is priceless and it cracks me up every time. But the other characters are also very memorable. I especially like the character of doctor Dawson.

The story is good and very pleasant and very mature compared to other Disney's from that period. But of course the idea of making a story about the mouse version of Sherlock Holmes alone is already good enough to make a fun movie about. One of the other things that makes this movie different compared to other Disney's from that period are the songs or better said the lack of it.

A Norwegian dub has been done, though. Demark censors requested 30 seconds of cuts, while Finland and Sweden released it without any restrictions.

Ron Miller, the head of Disney at the time, optioned this film because animators John Musker and Ron Clements had been kicked off of "Cauldron," and Miller gave them something to work on in the meantime.

Fellow Disney animator Rob Minkoff later said that Miller was against this film being made because it seemed too "old-fashioned" compared to "Cauldron," which he was convinced was representative of what audiences wanted to see at the time.

In late , Miller was fired from Disney and replaced by Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, both of whom championed Musker and Clements' ideas and ultimately put this project into production. The inexpensive success of the film played a large role in the Disney Renaissance; due to the fact that it was both a critical and financial success, which saved Walt Disney Animation Studios from going bankrupt after The Black Cauldron had flopped at the box office a year earlier, though it was outperformed at the box office by the expensive success of An American Tail, which was the highest grossing animated film of , making this film ranked under An American Tail.
