Love that this show taught chemistry too. Basil saying sodium chloride is followed by Dawson's line of "salt water" and bam. Kids learn chemistry. Kids look at Basil playing with chemistry, kids learn chemistry. That's really smart.
It depends on the kid watching and how well they understand the context. I can remember watching this scene but not understanding a word Basil was saying even with Dawson's "salt water" line. So the fact that he was using chemistry never occurred to me until I rewatched this movie as an adult. For me, Basil introduced me to the process of deduction. While I didn't understand what he was using, the fact that he knew what type of pen was used, what type of paper it was and that different alcohol could produce a different smell as well as the type of coal dust simply by looking and smelling help me understand how he knew where to find the seedy pub in the first place. His confidence and no second-guessing in what he saw was inspirational to understand "truths" which is needed in the process of deduction. I guess I was more like Dawson then I realized when I was kid: not stupid by any means, but in awe of a new way to look at the world.
@@DragonessTiger It wasn't a cash cow. It made $50 million worldwide in the box office but wasn't enough to invest it into a franchise. This lost to "An American Tail", which became a franchise with a theatrical sequel, two direct-to-video sequels, a tv series, and so much more.
Bailey Provance True but I think he is a bit conceited as he always seems to think he knows everything and likes to take credit for everything and he can be a bit snobbish especially towards Olivia but he becomes more nicer to her towards the end of the film and at the end of the film he says to Dawson 'All in a good day's work' meaning he became more modest.
Basil is the closest thing to a computer with how he just analyzed the paper alone. Characters like this are a hard find, especially with Disney's current projects.
@@Shadowkey392 Cumberbatch's reasonable performance, but the abomination of those versions of Moriarty and the Hound of the Baskervilles cannot lightly be forgiven.
Of course the big irony of this scene is that basil figured out materials, location markers, personality of the writer. But he never took the time to really think about what all the things on the list are FOR. 😅
That is what makes Basil such a great character. He's so sure of his intelligence, always seeking out the complicated details that he knows only he can find. But he overlooks the simple things because anyone would look at the list and come up with some explanation.
I think he was just too distracted by wanting to rescue Olivia that he completely forgot about what he learned in that toy shop with the missing uniforms and gears.
This movie inspired my love for mysteries & my interest in science. Through Basil I grew to love detective stories & tv shows as it always fascinates me how the sleuth is able to solve the case with even the simplest of observations. Seeing them use science or everyday tools to find the criminal, is why I came to love science as even just a fingerprint can tell a great deal about someone. Thanks for inspiring me, Basil.
Again I will say... If done correctly, disney could have a good thing for a Disney + series from this movie alone tbh. But only IF they get good writers, good voice actors, good artists, and good advertisement. Of course respect the original movie by keeping it 2D animated for the most part, maybe add a bit of CGI for things. Sure some voices would need recast due to their original dying. I.e Vincent Price for one thing.
Life is very simple and elementary how you learn on what's great about being a truly great detective how Basil himself was one of the greatest figures in history.
Dawson did have Dawson’s knowledge is more toward rodent body and how to heal them But yes he would have slight chemistry knowledge, a reason he was able to know when Basil said Sodium Chloride, he meant seawater Dawson has his own brilliance enough to recognize Basil’s and help him out in this adventure
Pretty sure it's just a fictional paper manufacturing company that was calling itself Mongolian as in a name of the company rather than being from Mongolia directly lol
lo devo ammettere, sono 7 anni che conosco questo cartone animato e che lo amo. sì, sembrerà strano (ho 21 anni) ma è come una calamita per me, non riesco a fare a meno di guardarlo. il mio personaggio preferito è Basil (non significa che non mi piacciano gli altri, ma è quello che amo di più) proprio perchè a vote ho la sensazione che mi assomigli. di questo cartone animato odio il cattivo, Rattigan. proprio non lo posso sopportare. è decisamente un "sudicio e disgustoso" sorcio di fogna. ormai ho letto quasi tutto del seguito di Basil (come storie) e non smetto mai di cercarne altre.
I agree. I have tried to find those comics too. I so far one of the movie, one which Ratigan returns, and two different cases. I have found more, but I can't get to read them 😫
If they remake this film this would be my cast: Basil Benedict Cumberbatch Dawson Colin Firth Ratigan Jim Carrey Flaversham Peter Capadi Queen Helen Mirren Fidget Frank Welker
Considering Disney writers now... I am kind of glad that they probably never will. They'd probably write Basil as completely incompetent and have him always one up'd by a Mary Suish female counterpart who is like... Five steps ahead of the bad guys and has no flaws.
What's absolutely wonderful is that we see the mouse version of Holmes' knowledge of chemistry and forensics.
I adore Basil he has so much personality and totally adores what he does. His voice actor should rest in peace he brought so much personality to him.

He does Rest In Peace… literally, sadly 😢

As you know, I instantly knew the basic sodium chloride is table salt!

It's disgraceful we never got a TV series out of this brilliant movie.
😃 That would have been awesome to see. But I'm glad Basil, Dawson, Ratigan and Fidget made cameos in House of Mouse 😌
We almost got a comic series but it only lasted 1 issue.
Kinda shocked it never did. Nearly every other Disney movie always got a tv or comic book series that continued or preceded to the film.
And Once Upon a Studio

Basil is probably one of my favorite Disney characters. He's a hero, brave, caring, and for a mouse, he is handsome.

Sooooo cute
@@rstein926 I think he also comes across as more of a jerk due to poor social skills or something
1:40 I just love his burst of enthusiasm.
Basil is the closest thing to a computer with how he just analyzed the paper alone. Characters like this are a hard find, especially with Disney's current projects.
The ASMR in this film is positively unforgettable
very underrated Disney movie, and I love the main theme
R.I.P. Barrie Ingham (the voices of Basil of Baker Street and Bartholomew). That man passed away and went up to heaven really soon😔🙏🏻
He was close to 83 years old when he died.
Basil is getting his Sherlock on! Love it!! Boo yah!!!
I love how British Basil is.
Esther Klammer well....... He is British.....
Probably Disney’s most underrated hero/duo
THIS. NEEDED. A. SEQUEL
No its need the live action movie!!
Cascadian Ranger Agreed!
@@selenaandthebears4610 I don't think so but hopefully :D
Both the sequel and the live action movie sound like good ideas
That or own TV series
Better portrayal of Doyle's detective than Cumberbatch could ever be.
I think RDJ was also a good portrayal of Doyle's detective
Cumberbatch did really well, what are you saying?!
Them be fighting words!
you're right. At least, in this scene
He’s not Sherlock Holmes, just a Disney character inspired by him.
@@Shadowkey392 Cumberbatch's reasonable performance, but the abomination of those versions of Moriarty and the Hound of the Baskervilles cannot lightly be forgiven.

I love the animation of liquids in this film.
Basil's seemingly mad brilliance is just wonderful to watch

That's so sweet, he inspired me for life too, with this quote: "There's always a chance, as long as one can think" 🖤
I rewound to watch this scene over and over when I was younger--all the beakers and tubes looked like magic
Basil's voice is so.....sexy! ❤😍
Basil is a fucking genius xD
Suarche :3 yes he is
By a “weasel” who’s been drinking rodent’s delight
This is forensic investigation in its infancy.
Too bad this ends before Basil can finish his sentence.
I literally wore out my VHS copy when I was little!

I had hoped for a series of this (like Alladin, Hercules etc.) but these days I dread what they might ruin next.
Aladdin
I always liked Basil, so great movie,
that if it gets 2 in the future, ;s
That or own TV series
No. The voice actor for basil is dead. So no encores I'm afraid.
Basil is one smart mouse and Dawson is so lucky to have a partner like him
This is how you jump to conclusions just like the real Sherlock Holmes 😂😂😂
i wonder this is how smart people think ; really,really fast
if you're onto something like having a hunch then ya, you want to test your theory to get the result as soon as possible.
BTW Dawson said "great scot" which is WATSON'S catchphrase in the Sherlock Holmes books
0:20 Basil you do know where that list has been right
Life is very simple and elementary how you learn on what's great about being a truly great detective how Basil himself was one of the greatest figures in history.
Basil is brilliant hero of the London! He like plays violin, 🎻 any cases 🕵️♂️
and doing his chemistry 🧪
0:20 cute 0:24
Mr expedition is a mouse.
One of the few movies that pointed me to a STEM career?
Ah yes, I too can know Mongolian paper by just how much it weighs on my hand
Why is he so hot tho lmao
1:06 Like how that sounds.
The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
Basil is cool! Hee hee!
Why did Basil use his cool magnifying-glass to look at the clues on Fidget’s list?
You'd be surprised how much details you could find.
@@Ailichan01 Definitely.
How do you like that for a bravest vigilant adventurer?
Elementary, My Dear Dawson. 2:07
Basil's observation of the list is similar to Holmes' observation of the letter in The Man With the Twisted Lip
Ain't no way supercomputers could make THESE kind of results from one piece of paper
I would think doctor Dawson would have a stronger chemistry knowledge than Basil regardless of his genius
End of 19th century. Many things were yet to be discovered.
Dawson did have Dawson’s knowledge is more toward rodent body and how to heal them
But yes he would have slight chemistry knowledge, a reason he was able to know when Basil said Sodium Chloride, he meant seawater
Dawson has his own brilliance enough to recognize Basil’s and help him out in this adventure
I have been trying to think of the name of this for months wooodeeedoo basil. 😀
Ahh yes Mongolian paper, harvested from the great forests of the inner Gobi.
Eh, grass also makes paper, so it's possible. Would be rather rare all the same though, I'd think.
Pretty sure it's just a fictional paper manufacturing company that was calling itself Mongolian as in a name of the company rather than being from Mongolia directly lol
I heard Robert Downey Jr studied this movie to get acting tips before he did Sherlock Holmes
Where's the evidence?
@@valerianmandrake I heard he spends a lot of time inside you. So check your butthole
I love soo must basil he this my favorite character he sooooooo ... 😳😍 i love so must basil

"sOlt wOtAH?"
Shouldn't Basil be wearing rubber gloves?
I don’t think they were widely available in the Victorian Era.
Doctors didn’t even believe in washing hands and sanitizing equipment.
No.
This show is good but it still will never top Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes
Basil and the human detective above him are basically proto-Mentats.
Mentats are the super analysis from Dune.
I like this video
Do my ears deceive me or did Dawson just say Great Scott (The line from Dr. Brown) at 1:55-1:56?
The ink from the list was a source of powder found only in one place
The end of the video gets cut off, he means to say, "Where the sewer can meet Paul of Thebes"
If they remake this film this would be my cast:
Basil Benedict Cumberbatch
Dawson Colin Firth
Ratigan Jim Carrey
Flaversham Peter Capadi
Queen Helen Mirren
Fidget Frank Welker
What about Olivia
I'd put Tom Hardy as Ratigan
If Peter Capaldi was playing Flaversham, he'd be telling Ratigan to f_ off
This eyes for ratigan 0:00 😅
I wonder how old Basil would be as a human?
I think he must be in his 30s?
Late 20s-mid-30s?
Basil cremated the list of Fidget's!. From Joe. X
Gamexplain in a nutshell
my very first asmr
Interesting experiment.
Basil smart
Why this movie never got a sequel ill never understand
Considering Disney writers now... I am kind of glad that they probably never will. They'd probably write Basil as completely incompetent and have him always one up'd by a Mary Suish female counterpart who is like... Five steps ahead of the bad guys and has no flaws.
@@Envy_the_Darksider good point
If Disney does make a sequel with Basil being completely incompetent, I am going to flip my lid.
Sometimes I wish Tim Curry would’ve voiced Basil in the movie back then.
رائعة
I find this scene pretty satisfying
And makes me kinda thirsty...
I was very little when I saw this movie. And when I first watched it, I thought that Basil was making himself a drink. Stupid, I know.
How does he know what a bat smells/tastes like..
Like his human counterpart he's been around quite a few low dives.
To Thawat Viroonvit Thirasuwan
GPS evidence
David Tenit for remake voice over for Basil
Ben 10 o filme Entre Luccas Neto
Bit odd that he used the whole evidence to do the test. Surely a sample/corner would have sufficed. What if there were other clues?
He xeroxed it first
I'm betting that Detective Basil's title could be
*"Sherlock Holmes: The Next Generation"*
Anyone understand why a bat gummed the paper?
I believe you saw fidget carrying the list in his mouth at one point
But Basil of Baker Street got married to Malala Yosafzai, it's a made up thing.

This is exactly why Basil is a mouse we'd all wish to own (but keep with freedom)!!
