The Great Mouse Detective 

 

The Great Mouse Detective is one of the most clever Disney animated movies I have ever seen. Basil is a master sleuth. There is an entire mouse kingdom in England that mirrors the real one. Disney was kind enough to provide Family Friendly Gaming with the Mystery in the Mist Edition on DVD. This movie was digitally restored, and includes a very cool new feature.

The animation looks good to this day. I can tell it is from a past era. The magic of Disney is their animation stands up well to the test of time. The Great Mouse Detective has a lot of darker tones in it, as there are seedy bars, fog, and the night time used most of the time. The images are kept family friendly, even the bad characters. I loved how Professor Ratigan's head turned red when he got angry. Disney has done a fantastic job over the years exhibiting emotion, and The Great Mouse Detective is no exception.

The voice acting is very good in The Great Mouse Detective. The various characters have a nice range  of emotion. In fact good from bad can be distinguished just by listening to them. The music is good in this movie, although I was not a fan of the bad guys song. Children enjoyed it though, so that is worth mentioning. I did not hear any offensive language while listening to The Great Mouse Detective.

The Great Mouse Detective includes the "So you think you can Sleuth?" Challenge which was really cool. There is also a making of feature that is sure to please. Children will get into the sing-along feature. This DVD also has some sneak peaks of upcoming movies. It is great to see Disney giving this treatment to one of their lesser known movies.

The menu screens behave nicely in The Great Mouse Detective. I like how some of them have video clips playing in the background. The story in The Great Mouse Detective had me guessing until the end. I loved how the great detective would point out facts that proved his assertions. As and adult I enjoyed The Great Mouse Detective, and children liked it as well. This is a movie that can reach all ages of the family.

The biggest lesson I learned from The Great Mouse Detective is to pay attention to your surroundings and notice the little details. There is also a great lesson in evil will not prosper, and good men (editor: or mice in this case) can stop evil. Disney kept The Great Mouse Detective safe for the entire family. I will be recommending this movie to friends and family.
