This is a 27" x 40" US one-sheet poster for the 1986 Ron Clements,
Burny Mattinson, David Michener and John Musker film The Great
Mouse Detective based on the Basil of Baker Street series
of novels by Eve Titus and starring Vincent Price as the voice of
Professor Ratigan. This film was the beginning of a Disney
renaissance and includes an early example of the studio's use of CGI
animation for a chase scene done inside Big Ben. Plot summary: The
main characters in this story are all mice and rats living in
Victorian London. In 1897 Olivia Flaversham [Susanne Pollatschek] is
a young mouse about to celebrate her birthday with her toymaker father
Hiram [Alan Young]. Suddenly Fidget [Candy Candido], a bat with a peg
leg, barges in and spirits Hiram away to see Professor Ratigan (a
character based on Professor Moriarty from the Sherlock Holmes
stories); Ratigan orders Hiram to create a robot who mimics the queen
of the mice, which will enable him to rule England. Abandoned, Olivia
is suddenly left with the task of locating her father. To do this
she enlists the services of the Great Mouse Detective, Basil of Baker
Street [Barrie Ingham].
