This cut version runs a full 74 minutes The editing has also been reworked throughout, and restored by filmmaker Garrett Gilchrist, well known for his restoration of The Thief and the Cobbler and many Muppet projects. UPDATE: 35MM version of the 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo now available in this channel. Full length workprint of The Great Mouse Detective by Walt Disney Enterprises. Note this is a bootleg recording because someone recorded the vhs tape into another tape, thus its poor quality. The director and team must have the original high quality tape. note: Originally uploaded out of sync, i added two additional video clips in .VOB and .mp4 format with correct syncing. Release date: June 23, 1986 (premiered in New York City, New York), July 2, 1986 (USA), February 14, 1992 (re-issue) Directors: Ron Clements, Burny Mattinson, Dave Michener, John Musker Producers: Burny Mattinson I added an obscure clip of the 1985 Walt Disney Pictures castle film logo to represent what the film was like from its 1986 release. The original film title from its recent restoration was featured here. The Great Mouse Detective (released as Basil the Great Mouse Detective in some countries and as The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective for its 1992 American re-release) is a 1986 American animated mystery adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is based on the children's book series Basil of Baker Street by Eve Titus and Paul Galdone, and was written and directed by John Musker, Dave Michener, Ron Clements, and Burny Mattinson in their feature directorial debuts. Featuring the voices of Vincent Price, Barrie Ingham, Val Bettin, Susanne Pollatschek, Candy Candido, Diana Chesney, Eve Brenner, and Alan Young, the film's plot follows Basil of Baker Street, a mouse detective who undertakes to help the young mouse Olivia find and save her father from the criminal mastermind and Basil's sworn enemy, Professor Ratigan. The Great Mouse Detective draws heavily on the tradition of Sherlock Holmes with a heroic mouse who consciously emulates the detective. Titus named the main character after actor Basil Rathbone, who is best remembered for playing Holmes in film (and whose voice, sampled from a 1966 reading of “The Red-Headed League“[2] was the voice of Holmes in this film, 19 years after his death). Sherlock Holmes also mentions “Basil“ as one of his aliases in the Arthur Conan Doyle story “The Adventure of Black Peter“. The Great Mouse Detective was released to theaters on July 2, 1986, to positive reviews from critics and financial success, in sharp contrast to the box office underperformance of Disney's previous animated feature film, The Black Cauldron (1985). The film's timely success has been credited with keeping Walt Disney Animation a going concern after the previous film's failure by renewing upper management's confidence in the department, thus setting the stage for the Disney Renaissance when feature animated films would become the corporation's most lucrative and prestigious product. During the film's initial theatrical release, the film was accompanied with the short, Clock Cleaners.[27] Home media Following the theatrical re-release in February 1992, the film was released on VHS and Laserdisc in July 1992 as part of the Walt Disney Classics series. It was placed into moratorium on April 30, 1993.[28] It was released again on VHS on August 3, 1999[29] (with a game sheet inside it as part of a contest) and on DVD in 2002 with a short making-of featurette. In the United Kingdom, it was first released on VHS in 1992 followed by re-releases in 1993 and 1995. A “Mystery in the Mist Edition“ of The Great Mouse Detective was released on DVD on April 13, 2010, and on Blu-ray Disc on October 9, 2012. Unlike previous home media releases, which all used the 1992 reissue title print (The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective), this DVD restored the original 1986 title card, which had previously not been seen since the original 1986 release. The DVD also has the film in its widescreen aspect ratio, which brings it closer to its original theatrical aspect ratio. The Blu-ray edition is region-free and thus can be played in any region of the world.[30] The Blu-ray was finally released in the UK on November 9, 2015, and released in France on Blu-ray on October 20, 2015. Box-office The film grossed around $50 million worldwide against a budget of over $14 million during its initial release.[39] Its inexpensive success after its predecessor's under-performance gave the new management of Disney confidence in the viability of their animation department, though it was surpassed at the box office by An American Tail.[40][41] Re-titled as The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective, the film was re-r
