Review of The Great Mouse Detective (1986) by Matthew Samuel M — 01 Aug 2013
There are some thrilling and memorable moments (the climax) and songs ("Let Me Be Good to You" and Vince Prince's delightful "Goodbye So Soon"), but it is an ultimately forgettable, unfortunately average Disney film.
It is admittedly sad, however, that the charming moments the film does have to offer go unnoticed by Disney fans due to the film's lack of colorful--or even sympathetic--characters. In the end, while clever, the characters are actually quite one-dimensional, leaving the film a little empty.
Henry Mancini's score for the film, however, is brilliant and underrated.
