There's action, mystery and comedy afoot
when super sleuth Basil of Baker Street returns to match wits with his old
nemesis, Professor Ratigan in this re-release of the Disney studios 26th
full-length animated feature. Featuring music by Academy Award-winning composer
Henry Mancini, this delightful, animated comedy-caper follows our hero and he
pursues his evil rat rival from the depths of London's sewers to the dizzying
heights of Big Ben's clocktower, resulting in one of the most entertaining and
fast-paced animated adventures ever captured on film. Acknowledged as the film
which signalled the return of the Disney studios re-commitment to animation,
THE ADVENTURES OF THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE includes a breathtaking climax, set
against the meshing gears of the giant clock, which remains as one of the most
complex, innovative and exciting sequences ever attempted in animation.
