60 of 218 · most liked firstI just found out The Great Mouse Detective turns 40 today. So I did some fanart just in time. I need to draw more art from that movie again. I might touch this up and colour later.
positive · AI labelView post →Have some concept art from The Great Mouse Detective by Michael Peraza, Jr. I love the pastel work done with these drawings and how they shine in the climax on Big Ben in the final film.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Great Mouse Detective would also be an important film for Disney being their first box office success following the disaster of the Black Cauldron helping prevent Walt Disney Animation's closure and setting the stage for the Disney Renaissance
neutral · AI labelView post →Some oldish doodles of Basil the Great Mouse Detective I ref'd while rewatching the movie. c:
positive · AI labelView post →I've just been informed that The Great Mouse Detective is turning 40 this year. One of my all-time favorites. I'm still genuinely surprised that the film didn't get any sequels. Hell, I'm surprised there's not anymore Basil of Baker Street adaptations.
positive · AI labelView post →Outside of The Black Cauldron, is there any Disney film with less of a cultural pop culture footprint that Basil The Great Mouse Detective? I love that movie, but there is almost nothing from #Disney to celebrate it! #JusticeForBasil 40th anniversary
positive · AI labelView post →Today's VHS was Mästerdetektiven Basil Mus (the Great Mouse Detective), a mouse-core classic and maybe the best movie Disney ever made? It just might be the case! Special shout-out to Olivia for having the best fashion sense.
positive · AI labelView post →*watches Robin Hood, A Goofy Movie, The Great Mouse Detective, and Ratatouille a hundred times* Hmmm… 🤔
neutral · AI labelView post →Got a LITTLE bit of a Disney movie marathon yesterday while I waited to entertain guests with Alice in Wonderland and The Great Mouse Detective. Do I even need to say anything about those two? They absolutely hold up and are always fun to revisit. And now... back to my Disney+ boycott...
positive · AI labelView post →Do y’all ever watch something you haven’t seen since you were a kid and then it hits you that you had a crush on a character and didn’t realize it at the time? Anyway I’m watching The Great Mouse Detective
neutral · AI labelView post →Share an ANIMATED movie title that begins with the letter “G” or “H” 🎥 G is for… The Great Mouse Detective ❤️
neutral · AI labelView post →292.) The Great Mouse Detective (1986) [REWATCH] Watched for its 40th anniversary. Easily my fave Disney movie that wasn't in my childhood video rotation. Probably Disney animators at their most adventurous and pulling it off super well.
positive · AI labelView post →🎬 Watched The Great Mouse Detective with the discord community! Easily one of Disney's most underrated films imo. Was very glad to re-experience this one with everyone!
positive · AI labelView post →The Chainsaw Man movie mixes hand-drawn animation with CGI — just like The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
neutral · AI labelView post →I've been so obsessed with the Disney film: the great mouse detective for like months now that I've started working on making some redesigns for the characters Here's Ratigan and fidget: #thegreatmousedetective #ratigan #professorratigan #disney #redesign #art
positive · AI labelView post →first movie i saw in a theater? Basil The Great Mouse Detective (1997) #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Hear me out. The Great Mouse Detective was a better film, better story, and a technological achievement using CGI for the clock scene.
positive · AI labelView post →I know it's in vogue to shit in Disney, but let's not pretend that FROZEN isn't clearly the better film here. Save your elder millennial pre-Renaissance goggles for something good like THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE.
positive · AI labelView post →HIDDEN MAGIC MONDAY, The Great Mouse Detective edition, pt. 1/3. I hid nine sketches inspired by the 1986 Disney animated movie in my work campus this morning. #disney #thegreatmousedetective #basilifbakerstreet #stickynoteart #drdawson #professorratigan
neutral · AI labelView post →When adjusted for inflation, "Coyote vs. ACME"'s critical and financial success is comparable to Disney's "The Great Mouse Detective" 40 years ago! The movie that helped save the Walt Disney Company near the end of their first dark period.

neutral · AI labelView post →Now I’m wondering what kind of influence the first movie a child sees in the theater has on their brain. Mine was The Great Mouse Detective, which if you know the voice actor cast for, might explain a lot
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway I ended up watching The Great Mouse Detective today, 10/10. ✅ Vincent Price ✅ Steampunk vibes ✅ Villain theme song ✅ Rube-Goldberg device You can watch it here if you want to: archive.org/details/grea...
positive · AI labelView post →The most underrated film of the Disney Bronze Age is The Great Mouse Detective. It’s a bit misshapen but fun. There’s a stripper scene where I am sure a few furries found themselves. This is the type of movie animators make when the bosses aren’t looking. Vincent Price is great as Ratigan.

neutral · AI labelView post →The 2017 DuckTales reboot crew wanted to do a big crossover episode between the Rescuers, Rescue Rangers, and the Great Mouse Detective, but this was shelved for two reasons, 1. RR was off limits due to the upcoming movie, and 2. The episode would have little to do with the main ducks.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Great Mouse Detective doesn't get enough praise. Besides being a great movie, it saved Walt Disney Animation Studios from closing.
positive · AI labelView post →While I have an earlier memory of GOING to the theater (it was the day my sister was born so it stands out), the first movie I remember actually watching in a theater was…I’m so sorry I’m going to say something that probably explains a lot about me…The Great Mouse Detective
neutral · AI labelView post →Me shipping Billy with Rat King, is bringing me back to a certain ship I was crazy about, when I was younger. *Remembers The Great Mouse Detective movie and its' entire script*
neutral · AI labelView post →The Great Mouse Detective has one of the best openings for a movie. In just 2.5 minutes, a kid and a parent’s worst nightmare happens, you’re already invested, and then boom! Henry Mancini hits you with that underrated but kickass orchestral theme song! #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Great Mouse Detective, 1986, finally a movie where it belongs. Short with the Gummy Bears. Was huge though. Quite a lot to compute. Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

neutral · AI labelView post →I've not chimed in on the "Remake a movie from 1986" prompt because when I look at the list all I see are movies I would re-release to theaters now as they are: Absolute Beginners. Labyrinth. Big Trouble in Little China. The Great Mouse Detective. The Name of the Rose. No notes, no changes.
positive · AI labelView post →The Great Mouse Detective (1986) opened today in theaters on July 2, 1986.
neutral · AI labelView post →Who else had a huge crush on Ratigan as a kid. The Great Mouse Detective is also just a really good movie and NO ONE talks about it.
positive · AI labelView post →The first Disney movie I saw was The Great Mouse Detective. Most people likely discovered Vincent Price through his horror films. I discovered him through Disney. And Ratigan is an elite Disney villain! He’s evil because he enjoys being evil. #WhatKeepsUsAlive #TCMParty

neutral · AI labelView post →But let's be positive! This is your irregular reminder, that in 1986, Disney gave us, in their movie "The Great Mouse Detective", a mouse doing a burlesque dancing number in these clothes. And it was an awesome song and event! ❤️ (and a great movie even ignoring this) #TheGreatMouseDetective

positive · AI labelView post →Basil! My god, I have completely forgotten this movie. With that bat with the peg leg. The Great Mouse Detective (1986) was the movie.
positive · AI labelView post →This movie (which was named “Basil the Great Mouse Detective” for us) was one of my absolute favourites growing up and I had basically zero concept that most other people hadn’t seen it. It’s SO good!
positive · AI labelView post →39 years ago, one movie helped get Disney Animation out of its rut. And that movie was “The Great Mouse Detective.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes I think I'm remembering the films from my youth with too much nostalgia but then I remember they call it the Renaissance for a reason. The Great Mouse Detective (1986) is not technically a Renaissance film but it is a worthy predecessor, imo

positive · AI labelView post →Movie bucket list time: Watching The Great Mouse Detective. I’ve heard things about the villain in this, curious to see what the hubbub is about
neutral · AI labelView post →Not only that, but here are Basil of Baker Street and Professor Ratigan from The Great Mouse Detective, a film with many fans for many years to follow. Stay tuned for even more characters, as films release once every year (mostly) from this point forward!
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched The Great Mouse Detective before playing Book 2 of the new event, which really helped me appreciate the story more. The movie itself is okay but I was astonished by the animation in the clock tower scene - I can’t believe this is all 2D cell animation!
