Eve Titus wrote a series of stories about Basil of Baker Street; a mouse that lived next door to Sherlock Holmes and who shared many of his skills and traits. Walt Disney Studios adapted the Titus stories into a wonderful feature film that was still able to maintain the Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes characters, even though they were transformed into a mouse world. The resulting film "The Great Mouse Detective" was directed by Ron Clements, music by Henry Mancini, and was released on July 2, 1986. Basil (named after Basil Rathbone who portrayed Sherlock Holmes fourteen times in Hollywood films) was based on the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, animated by Mark Henn and Steve Gordon, and voiced by Barrie Ingham. Basil resides at 221 1/2 Baker Street and his arch nemesis is Professor Ratigan. Ratian was designed and animated by Walt Disney master animator, Glen Keane. The inspiration for the character was Professor James Moriarty, the nemesis to Sherlock Holmes in the series of stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Ratigan was voiced by veteran Hollywood actor Vincent Price, who stated it was his favorite role because he had two songs written for him, "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind, " and Goodbye, So Soon.
