Description
The clues are in, the chase is on, and the case of the century is about to break wide open in Disney's greatest little mystery in history! Let the creators of Aladdin and The Little Mermaid take you on an adventuresome journey through the cobblestone streets of 1897 London, where some suspicious "mousechief" is the suspenseful start to this thrilling musical adventure. Olivia, the brave daughter of a beloved London toymaker, turns to Basil of Baker Street for help with her father's disappearance. Basil's jolly assistant, Dr. Dawson, and loyal dog Toby lend a hand ... and nose ... as they sniff out clues through their charming miniature world. The final chase leads to Professor Ratigan (voiced by Vincent Price), a hard-hearted criminal whom Basil must outwit to save all of Mousedom!

This movie will always have a special place in my heart. The story is wonderful, and the characters are adorable. When you watch, you will laugh, weep, and rejoice while the brilliant detective solves the sinister plot of the diabolical professor Rattigan. I absolutely recommend this to anybody who is anyone!
Eh, it was ok.

I LOVE this film! It is my favorite Disney film of all time! I do like watching other Disney films but THIS has the most important impact on me as a fan of animation! It does have a few things I can't look at, mostly Fidget and Ratigan's red eye close ups, but I love everything else; Basil, Ratigan, Toby, the big ben climax, the list goes on! I enjoyed watching this a million times, and I will definetly be watching it a million times more!
No HD version?

I can buy the Blu-ray copy pretty much anywhere, but for some reason, iTunes doesn't have the HD version available. Considering 99.9% of movies I own were purchased in iTunes for my Apple TV, I'd like to see this offered in HD. Until then, no sale.
Overall, for the movie itself, 4 stars.
Great!

It is true that this movie doesn't deserve a G rating, but showing it to a small child probably won't do any harm. What I like the most about this film is that the main character and the antagonist play off each other so well. The climax is also quite exciting. This movie will always be one of my favorites.
Yay:)

It seems that everyone loved this movie. I cannot understand why. We made it though half the movie. The story line is good, but Disney really need to remake these movies for modern times. If you took away smoking and drinking this movie would last about 2 minutes. This is no longer good for any children at any age. I really do not think we need to teach kids that smoking and drinking are good behaviors.
Other then that the movie is good. But i would never recommend this for children!

This is the only Disney movie where there's smoking, drinking, (drunkeness and actually drinks get spiked with a drug, making one of the mice act extremely high and out of character) a huge bar fight that shows gun use and violence with impromptu weapons such as broken alcohol bottles and chairs. And who can forget those strippers? Well,they were burlesque dancers but when you're 5 and watching this, they might as well be strippers. And yes they do shed clothes. All this is in like a 5 minute segment of the movie. But there's also a scene where alcohol is pink and pouring in fountains of glory...glasses are raised making this look appealing. I'd show this to my kids only so they can compare it to the pussified movies and shows they have to live with today.

(NOTE: I refer to characters by their first names, which may be confusing)
I first saw this movie in September 2009. I thought it was pretty cool. Lately, I'm watching this movie on repeat, calling the male characters by their first names. Professor Ratigan becomes Padraic; Dr. Dawson, David; and Mr. Flaversham, Hiram. I got a stuffed toy of Padraic last week. For some strange reason, I renamed the toy "Jason Kreis" in honor of a soccer player. David narrates. Hiram gets kidnapped. Padraic gets into a huge fight with Basil. Vincent Price does a good job voicing Padraic. The score by Henry Mancini is beautiful.
One of the grittiest Disney films ever

It has been many years since I have seen this movie. I remember liking it as a kid, though admittedly it was a bit scary but coming back and watching it as an adult, I am very surprised how dark and gritty this film is, especially for a children's film. I do not point this out as a bad thing, but merely an observation of how Disney can make a film kids enjoy while adults can enjoy it on a whole other level by the deeper themes in it. All in all, a great movie.

They just don't make Disney films like these anymore. A beautiful spin off of Sir Aurther Conan Doyle's masterpiece adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the Great Mouse Detective is a film that you can easily watch over and over again. Fun, musical, and with a good seasoning of humor, Basil of Baker Street will take you on an adventure you will never forget.
SMILE EVERYONE! =D

I was at first skeptical of this movie because of it being underrated, and I put the film in thinking it was going to be horrible along with it's preior "The Black Caldron". Luckaly I was 100% WRONG!!!! This movie is perfect to a T! It's drama, class, and few songs has captivated my imagination and helped me discover the original Sherlock Holmes books. It's not Aladdin, but to me The Great Mouse Detective is more of a dimond in the rough than that movie will ever hope to be!
A great classic contrast compared to the musical disney films of today!
Well, Goodbye So Soon, but until then... SMILE EVERYONE! XD
I LOVED this movie as a kid!!

Preferrably my all time favourite movie, in any category. Heh, it nearly kicked Amadeus right off of the list! Just bought it off here a while back for my itouch. Mom wasn't too happy about it at first, but she warmed up to it. (: I'm almost 18 years old, but I still love this movie to pieces. Hell, I didn't even see it until my freshman year in highschool, and I didn't know much about it before then, either! It's a wonderful movie. It's synced good, and the quality is amazing. Buy it. I guarentee, you won't be disappointed.
Wonderful animated classic!

This film is pure fun for the whole family! My sister loves it! Its a great twist on Sherlock Holmes, and just entertaining! My favorite character is Basil, who has you wondering at some points about his mental condition... But he's just to funny!
If you haven't seen this movie yet you need to! Its to bad that Disney doesn't promote this movie more.
Amazing

I used to watch this movie over and over when I was young.
It's part of the reason that I love mysteries so much today!
I'm glad that a clasic like this can be found on iTunes.
And the fact that it's in widescreen is an added bonus! I never got to see it in theaters, or I was just to young to remember.
Perfection.

This move is my all-time FAVORITE movie. Everything about it is just perfect. It is an amazing movie that i still enjoy at the age of 16. The characters are so wonderfully developed, and the plot is filled with mystery, comedy, and amazing lessons we all can learn from.

Wonderful movie, a true Disney classic that sadly seems overlooked. Basil is a great and well-developed character and Olivia is adorable.
It's too bad Disney doesn't make movies like this anymore. If only Ratatouille had been this good...
Great Movie, Highly Recommended.....

This commonly overlooked gem is and always will be among the best of the Disney classics in my heart. I've seen it over and over, more than five times, and I still love it as much as I did when I was six. I guarantee that you'll fall in love with clever, dashing Basil, charming little Olivia, bumbling, good-natured Dawson, and the delighfully villainous Ratigan faster than you can say Bob's your uncle! Buy this film - it's worth every cent (surprisingly cheap, really).

Ever had a detective that was smart but wasn't so good in the long run? Well, that is who Basil Of Baker Street is. A plot by a evil (dare I say) Rat is hatched. Who is better to solve it than Basil? He IS the Sherlock Holmes of the mouse world! This is a Grade-A G rated mystery that is astounding! It is worth every penny! Buy It and you won't regret it!

Great kid movie. Adults who have never seen this movie growing up may not enjoy it as much as those who have and kids. I played this movie at my work where I watch 6 months- 12 year old. Everyone one of the kids loved it and stoped playing with the toys to come watch the movie.

By far my favorite Disney movie of all time, this masterpiece was underrated and did not get the attention it deserved. Basil was my first real crush when I was four, and I still love him as a character. The plot is excellent, the characters have great depth, and Vincent Price as Professor Ratigan is just the whipped cream that tops off this delicious little-known Disney delicacy!

Thanks, iTunes, for putting this up! The Great Mouse Detective is by far one of the best Disney animated films, though it's often overshadowed by the movies that came shortly after: The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, etc... All great films, but The Great Mouse Detective is a great film without the flash and razzle dazzle. It was one of my favorite movies as a child, but now that I'm an adult----and an ardent fan of Sherlock Holmes----I can tell you, that for people interested in The Great (Human) Detective, this is actually one of the BEST Holmesian portrayals available when it comes to animation style and the brilliance of the voice acting ... as well as the little tidbits tossed in that any lover of Sherlock Holmes will pick up on.
I highly recommend kids reading the Basil of Baker Street children's books by Eve Titus if they're fans of the film.
Yay!

I remember growing up, this was my now 20 year old sister's favorite movie of all time, the only movie she contiually watched besides The Nightmare Before Christmas and her own selective horror flicks. Something about it touched her. I love it too; the little mouse in it is adorable, and the whole Sherlock Holmes and Watson vibe is cute.
Hugely Entertaining and Under-rated!

I've loved this movie since I was a kid. The whole "Sherlock Holmes" type mystery solving case is hugely entertaining for children and adults. All of the characters are realistic and this film took great strides to try to improve the animation medium. The creators attempts at better animation paid off later in films like "The Little Mermaid" and "The Lion King." This film has a lot of funny moments and even some great suspense. The climax is great and the resolution makes you very happy for the characters. This film is supremely underrated and is a must have for all Disney fans.
Excellent Film

This was a favorite of mine during childhood and was much pleased to see it on here for download. The number of musical selections is low, but I actually like that as I have always been more interested in the story than the singing, but the 2 numbers they do have fit the story very well.

As I launched iunes 7 on it's release day, I was hopeful and doubtful this movie that I've been looking for would be on here. But was I ever pleasantly surprised! I love this movie, start to finish. It was somewhat dark yet still fun, great animation and voice acting, and a cute story that will make you laugh for years to come. Definitely my favorite children's movie, and probably one of my favorites ever.
