ratigan is, dare i say it, the best disney villain

Okay, it was a fun story and a much better animated one than its era would suggest, and it had some great tunes (I genuinely liked all of them, and that never happens). And then it fucked it all up by making the Queen of England a good guy. Because you know, death to the monarchy. And I know you're about to say she's a mouse, not the human queen, but she's still described as ruling an empire, and empires mean conquest, which usually means genocide. So death to the mouse-queen of Britain and death to the human-queen, too. But the clockwork sequence, the very silly trap scene, the music in the bar, the queer subtext (yes I'm going there), and the sheer weirdness of this make up for a lot (the ableist mockery of the bat is a bit much, though).

Full of inventive action sequences that ingeniously use paint buckets, marbles, and laws of gravity, The Great Mouse Detective is a genuinely witty adventure powered by charismatic vocal performances and an ominous mood. Voiced by Vincent Price, the villain has that signature toe-tapping, hair-rising Disney flair that’s impossible not to love. Cobblestone roads and street lamps create an eerie atmosphere, painted with detail and quiet vibrancy. It’s a fun time! 🐭🔎✨

my first crush was Ratigan, which explains everything

basil and ratigan are bitter exes

when i die due to foul play i want basil of baker street and dawson ONLY working my case and no one else. the only mice i trust tbh.

This was the first movie I saw in theaters. I think they rereleased it when I was really little? Not sure but I do remember a kid running down the aisle with his dick out. Wild stuff.

There’s nothing ghastly wrong with it; it’s not half-assed, but it’s not running on all cylinders either. Something is missing here, and ironically, whatever that is can’t be found. Perhaps not enough character development? Maybe it was the predictably. One may never know.

oh Ratigan!!

(Re)visionado Disney.
Un cambio de tono importante respecto de Tarón. Aquí hay más humor y menos intensidad oscura, aunque hay algunas escenas que casi me dan un infarto. La animación está centrada sobre todo en los personajes y los escenarios son estáticos salvo en ocasiones. Lo que hace la escena del reloj mucho más espectacular (y hecha por ordenador, la primera de Disney y ha envejecido muy bien).
Eso sí, el plan de Ratigan no huiera triunfado con una seguridad de verdad.

A flawless horror film.

dr. dawson is an unapologetic imperialist

Justice for Felicia!

This should be a series.

I loved all the Sherlock Holmes references. The one time that the falling villain trope works on two levels.

Lmao this rules. It's quirky and has plenty of rough edges but man it is just a joy to watch animation like this.

Had some fun. Vincent Price.

Elementary, my dear Dawson.

A perfectly serviceable Sherlock Holmes narrative that somehow also functions as the stepping-off point for the 80s Disney renaissance. The next two films co-directors John Musker and Ron Clements would make, The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, were the ones that would put the House of Mouse back on top of the animation landscape for good. And I suppose if this film didn't work as well as it does, those transcendent pieces might never have gone forward. Worth watching more as a curiosity than a must-see entry in the Disney canon. Streaming on Disney Plus.
