More than 26 years ago, a company named Disney was down on their luck. The last film, "The Black Cauldron", had not done well. They only had one last shot before they went bankrupt. While brainstroming, someone came across the "Basil of Baker Street" series by Eve Titus. They like the idea and the "Game", shall we say, "Was AFoot!"

And this was the result: " Disney's The Great Mouse Detective", which has gone through many name changes through the years before finally settling on the Fan Name/Shorter Name.

Many of you may not know what this film is, this could be because this movie was uncared for as films like "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin" came out and Disney started getting cocky (again).

But exactly made this film such a spectacle in 1986? Could the first Disney film to use Pixar Animation like a camera which would later be used in features like "Aladdin" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"? Or maybe it was the characters and All-star cast. Either way, this movie was, is , excellent and very unappreciated.

Happy 26th Anniversary, GMD.

Author Note: I couldn't draw anything today so I made bloopers instead. Some are very bad, but other I found made people laugh. So here they are for the world to see.

EDIT: Thank you everyone (now and in advance) for the feedback. It was encouraging. Now, to anyone who wants to know, yes I like Basil AND Ratigan (they're epic!

) Basil is my favorite Disney Character (tying with Woody, but since he's from Pixar, he's in a different catergory). Ratigan is my favorite villain period (tying with Moriarty {in his many forms} and Lotso {mainly because the bear went kinda crazy toward the end and not to mention {spoiler alert}he did leave the toys to die, making him downright evil.)
