The Great Mouse Detective

The Great Mouse Detective

The story of mice and rats in the Victorian London. 1986. Directors: Burny Mattinson, David Michener, John Musker and Ron Clements.
Basil of Baker Street, living under the floor of Sherlock Holmes's apartment, is a famous detective in the mouse world of London. When a toymaker named Hiram Flaversham is kidnapped, his daughter who's the only witness, comes to Basil for help.
Hiram is taken to the mad and evil Ratigan who wants him to create a robot looking like the queen of the mice. Ratigan plans to assassinate the queen and replace her with a robot without anybody else noticing anything.
Ratigan then plans to make himself king of the mice and become very powerful. Basil agrees to help the little sad and scared girl, Olivia, to find her father after realizing that the villain is the evil Ratigan.
Basil has been wanting to catch Ratigan for a long time, and now he has a chance to succeed. But will he? Ratigan is a very dangerous enemy.
The scenes in the clock tower with the gears frightened me as a child, but the rest of the film is pretty good. A detective story set in London.
