  • 3 stars out of 5

    An attractive idea, but rather crudely done for Disney animation, this is about a young mouse devotee of Sherlock Holmes who helps to investigate the disappearance of a mouse toymaker and a plot against the Mouse Queen. It's notable for Vincent Price's wonderfully arch and sinister voice-over as the master scoundrel Professor Ratigan — as rat-like a monster as ever drew sibiliant breath. He and the peg-legged bat Fidget prove that villains have all the best lines.
