The Basil of Baker Street Series in Order (8 Books)

Mr. Holmes was tall and thin, with sharp, piercing eyes. And if ever a mouse may be said to resemble a man, then Basil was the mouse! Jewish musician Melissa Manchester as Miss Kitty Mouse: A beautiful mouse who with her twin sisters are dancers at The Rat Trap, a seedy dive on London's waterfront. Basil: Know him? That bat one Fidget by name, is in the employ of the very fiend who was the target of my experiment. The horror of my every waking moment! The nefarious Professor Ratigan!

Basil made a few cameo appearances in House of Mouse. His most notable cameo is him keeping Dawson away from a mousetrap that Ratigan has set for them in the episode "Donald's Lamp Trade". In another episode, Basil and Dawson were some of the mice to take flight on Dumbo's Airline. In an unproduced pitch by Frank Angones for a Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers reboot, Basil was going to be Olivia's mentor before she founded the Rescue Aid Society.To make these matters clear, I shall tell you something of his amazing career as a detective, and then relate the events leading up to the crime. Canon Welding: Basil in the Wild West states that Basil's cousin is the title character of the Anatole series by the same author. The Great Mouse Detective (1986) doesn't have those problems. The book doesn't take long to read because it's a children's book, and because the animation has animals, I'm not bothered by the discrepancies in characters etc. Kim Possible: Kim Possible • Dr. Drakken • Shego • Ron Stoppable • Rufus • Duff Killigan • Monkey Fist I have mixed feelings about this book. I appreciated it on several levels, just not the level of actually reading the thing.

Barrie Ingham as Bartholomew: One of Ratigan's henchmen. He meets his end early on during Ratigan's song when he drunkenly calls his boss a rat; enraged, Ratigan throws him outside and summons Felicia, who devours him.

Children's author Eve Titus created the characters of Basil of Baker Street and Anatole. Basil, a mouse private detective in the Victorian age, was the subject of Walt Disney's The Great Mouse Detective. An animated adaptation was also made based on Anatole, a heroic and resourceful French mouse. Mice journeyed long distances to consult him, even French mice from across the Channel.

Ratigan, no one can have a higher opinion of you than I have. And I think you're a slimy, contemptible sewer rat! Basil and Ratigan made meet-and-greet appearances throughout the theme parks in promotion for the film. They have been retired since 2004. It was actually originally intended for iconic British actor John Cleese to do the voice of Basil but turned down the role since he was cast in the non-Disney live-action film, A Fish Called Wanda, which was released in 1988.

Cats Are Mean: Throughout the series but averted in Basil and the Pygmy Cats since, you know, the cats are the same size as the mice. I know, it's intended for kids. Small kids. We should just say it's not one of those kids books that holds up. This story is filled with stunning deduction after stunning deduction, which I obviously won’t spoil. |Ratigan is shown as a rather different character than he was in the books as Moriarty. He is shown as intelligent, but much more outlandish and is shown with a lot of brute physical strength, which was never the case in the canon. Basil and Ratigan are arch-nemeses. This Holmes vs. Moriarty hatred is reoccurring in many spin-offs, but it is arguably wrong, seeing as Moriarty was only present in a few books, and Holmes respected his intelligence, rather than hating him.

At one point, a shot of the 'upstairs', 221B Baker Street, is shown in silhouette. You can hear Holmes and Watson discussing a case. The voice for Holmes is actually the voice of Basil Rathbone, even though he died 20 years before the movie was made. His voice was overdubbed and added into the movie from a reading of The Adventure of the Red-Headed League. The year is 1885 and Basil of Baker Street, one of the finest detectives in mouse and human history alike, and his companion Dr. Dawson, live in the cellar at 221B Baker Street. The disappearance of Angela and Agatha Proudfoot is one of his strangest cases yet, and with but a few crumb-like clues, will he be able to solve it?
