Burbank, Calif., February 4, 2010 – The game is afoot! The world’s greatest sleuth dons
his miniature deerstalker hat and puts his extraordinary deductive ability into animated
action when The Great Mouse Detective: Mystery in the Mist Edition comes to DVD
on April 13, 2010 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. In the greatest little
mystery in Disney history, the renowned Basil of Baker Street takes on his archenemy,
the evil genius Dr. Ratigan, and this time the battle is for the entire city of London! With
fresh and exciting bonus features, The Great Mouse Detective: Mystery in the Mist
Edition will thrill audiences with an exciting game of “mouse and mouse” that’s not
elementary by a long shot!
Inspired by the adventures of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s brilliant detective Sherlock
Holmes, The Great Mouse Detective: Mystery in the Mist Edition marks the directing
debut of now legendary filmmakers Ron Clements and John Musker, creators of such
Disney animated blockbusters as The Princess and the Frog, The Little Mermaid and
Aladdin. As Basil sniffs out one clue after another with unmatched ingenuity, kids and
adults will delight in a heartwarming and suspenseful adventure that goes from Baker
Street to the tower of Big Ben in the charmingly downsized London of Mousedom. An
intriguing mystery, spectacular animation and unforgettable characters make The Great
Mouse Detective: Mystery in the Mist Edition a devilishly clever family gift!
Viewers can test their own powers of deduction and go behind the scenes of the movie
with bonus features that include:
- So You Think You Can Sleuth? — An animated look at the history of detective
work, complete with a crime-solving puzzle for the entire family.
- The Making Of “The Great Mouse Detective”
- “The World’s Greatest Criminal Mind” Sing-Along Song
When talented toymaker Hiram Flaversham is mousenapped, his winsome daughter
Olivia turns to the most famous mouse detective of them all, Basil of Baker Street.
Accompanied by his assistant and confidante, Dr. David Q. Dawson, Basil uncovers a
villainous plot by the “slimy, contemptible sewer rat” Dr. Ratigan to replace Moustoria,
Queen of Mice, with a look-alike robot and take control of the entire rodent population of
London. Based on Eve Titus's book Basil of Baker Street, The Great Mouse Detective
channels the spirit of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous creation into a richly
animated, Sherlock Holmsian tale set in Victorian-era London’s underground mouse
kingdom.
The Great Mouse Detective: Mystery in the Mist Edition DVD is priced at $19.99
SRP (US) and $24.99 SRP (Canada).
