Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Johanna SteinmetzAs usual with film noir, however, it is the villain who steals the heart and one is rooting for in the breathtaking showdown high up in the cogs and ratchets of Big Ben.
Empire - 8/10 by Ian NathanThe genuinely witty and endearing Disney animation that everyone forgets.
Juicy Cerebellum - 8/10 by Alex SandellNot classic, but the start of something good.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Sandie Angulo ChenClever Sherlock Holmes tribute mixes wit, peril.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 8/10 by Steve CrumPedestrian Disney cartoon w/nice Vincent Price voice-over.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Paul AttanasioThe Great Mouse Detective reflects the energy and enthusiasm of a talented group of young artists stretching their wings for the first time. That group has gone on to produce some truly extraordinary work, win awards and earn sums no one believed could be made from an animated film. And, as has often been the case at Disney, it all began with a mouse.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertWhat's fun is the carefree way the animators swing through their story, using the freedom of the cartoon form to blend 19th century realism with images that seem borrowed from more recent special-effects pictures.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Nina DarntonIn The Great Mouse Detective the Disney formula is used undiluted, and that is how it works best. The heroes are appealing, the villains have that special Disney flair - humorous blackguards who really enjoy being evil -and the script is witty and not overly sentimental.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 7/10 by Tim BraytonIf the film fails to click on all the emotional levels that Disney might have wanted, at least it's a brightly-paced bit of comedy and fun.
Slant Magazine - 5/10 by Christian BlauveltMouse Detective, though, just tries to get by with nothing more than the novelty of having rodents play detective, and then pulls the rug out from under it by showing, however briefly, the human Holmes and Watson.
