The Great Mouse Detective (1986) is a charming animated film that cleverly adapts Arthur Conan Doyle's detective stories into a mouse-sized world. The film features the clever and courageous Basil of Baker Street as he matches wits with the villainous Ratigan. The fun fact about it being beaten by "An American Tail" (1986) at the box office adds an interesting historical context. While "The Great Mouse Detective" might not have been the blockbuster success, it has gained appreciation for its clever storytelling and memorable characters, standing as a hidden gem in Disney's animation history.

Faerie Tale Theatre: The Ultimate Episode Ranking
So, we’ve come to the end of this years-long Faerie Tale Theatre retrospective, my friends. It’s been quite a ride. Unlike most big Hollywood collaborations, Faerie Tale Theatre wasn’t a vanity project or a corporate mandate driven by synergistic greed, but a labor of love from start to finish. There’s been highs and lows, but I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t any passion put into every minute…

Basil l'investigatopo
Basil l’investigatopo
Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo continuato il nostro viaggio nel cinema dell’orrore, riprendendo il discorso sul grande John Carpenter e parlando di una delle sue opere migliori, Il seme della follia. La storia di un investigatore assicurativo ingaggiato da una casa editrice per trovare uno degli scrittori dell’orrore più famosi di sempre, scomparso ormai da…

A Challenge for Robin Hood (1967)
"I love to see men wrestle."
"And after this, a hanging. There's no end to the entertainment."
#a challenge for robin hood#hammer films#1967#robin hood#british cinema#c. m. pennington richards#peter bryan#barrie ingham#james hayter#leon greene#peter blythe#gay hamilton#alfie bass#jenny till#john arnatt#eric flynn#john gugolka#john harvey#william squire#donald pickering#reg lye#a rollicking good time! pleasantly surprised by just how much I enjoyed this; surely one of the best of Hammer's adventure films#benefits from a rich and detailed plotting which explores not just Robin's background and noble heritage‚ but the larger Saxon and Norman#conflict and political landscape of the era. Ingham is a fine Robin (if difficult to accept as a hero; he played snobby assholes too often#in his tv guest spots) and Gay Hamilton is badly served by a script which renders Marian as little more than an object to be fought over#and rescued again and again‚ but the supporting cast of telly faces is immaculate. Arnett is a superbly snakelike Nottingham‚ all quiet#menace and unsettling looks‚ while dreamy Peter Blythe (sigh) is a perfectly spiteful and bitchy main villain. Eric Flynn (father of Jerome#and bros) is an earthy and likeable Alan a Dale (and was soon to play the lead in the BBC's excellent 1970 adaptation of Ivanhoe‚ meeting#another Robin Hood) while Leon Greene (who Hammer seem to have been considering for romantic lead status; he also did The Devil Rides Out#for them) is an amusingly blithe Little John. spectacular swordfights and a few moments of shocking violence: pure Hammer adventure fun

David Hasselhoffs 70. Geburtstag hätten wir tendentiell auch eher nicht begangen, böte er nicht so eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, einmal wieder Frank Wildhorns und Leslie Bricusses beherzt überdramatisches romantisches Schauermusical Jekyll & Hyde anzuschauen, das wir eigentlich wirklich gerne mögen, auch wenn wir mit allen anderen Freunden der Show nicht ganz glücklich mit der Besetzung der Fernsehaufzeichnung sind.

The Price May Be Right - Number 2
Welcome to “The Price May Be Right!” I’ve been counting down My Top 31 Favorite Vincent Price Performances & Appearances! The countdown will cover movies, TV productions, and many more forms of media. It’s time for our penultimate pick! Today we focus on Number 2: Professor Ratigan, from The Great Mouse Detective.
Tumblr media
If you know me very well, this choice and its ranking will not be even a remote surprise. If you don’t me as well…it probably still won’t be a remote surprise. Partially due to the fact it’s a Disney film, and partially due to the time when this film was released (it’s one of the more recent entries on the list), AND partially due to its family film status, this is quite likely the introduction most people my age had to Vincent Price, and it’s very likely how most people younger than me will often be introduced to the long-departed actor’s work in times to come. “The Great Mouse Detective” is also, I would imagine, how many young people end up being introduced to Sherlock Holmes. Because, in essence, that is what this movie is: it’s Sherlock Holmes, but with rodents in the roles. The story focuses on the madcap genius detective, Basil of Baker Street (voiced by Barrie Ingham), on his first case with his future partner, Dr. Dawson. The two have to work together to save a young mouse girl and her father, when they are kidnapped by Basil’s nemesis: the unhinged criminal mastermind, Professor Ratigan, Price’s role in the story. Ratigan plans to use the father’s special skills to help him assassinate the Queen of Mousedom, and then – you guessed it – take over the kingdom. It’s a race against time to stop Ratigan’s evil plan, save the victims, and spare the Queen and the kingdom alike from a hideous fate. This role came fairly late in Vincent’s career, and perhaps that’s what made it so special to him. He said more than once, in his waning years, that Ratigan had become his all-time favorite part…and considering all the incredible movies and characters he played before this slimy, contemptible sewer rat, that’s got to be saying a lot! Price described Ratigan as someone “playing the Great Villain, while also BEING the Great Villain.” There’s a sort of self-awareness to Ratigan and his melodramatic evil that I think makes him so fun to watch: he just so utterly ENJOYS all of his own wicked ways, and seems to self-consciously do things with the intent of making them as nasty and as grand as he possibly can. Intriguingly, there’s a hint of empathy to Ratigan, however: it’s hinted that the reason he’s become so evil is because he’s been prejudiced by society, since rats are seen as scummy, dirty, verminous things. He dresses himself in the finest clothes and puts on foppish manners in an attempt to seem more debonair and sophisticated…but ironically, his twisted nature only furthers the very stereotype he despises. Vincent’s voicework is a huge part of what makes Ratigan so wonderful. You can tell the man was having an absolute ball with every SYLLABLE he utters, and the animation and his voice blend together so seamlessly it’s impossible to imagine him in the booth whenever you watch the character. That’s something that’s difficult for even the very best celebrity voice artists, but the combination of Vincent’s dedicated performance and the artful animation makes it work brilliantly. His Ratigan is the Joker of Disney: a character who can flip on a dime from humorously evil and infectiously gleeful in his villainy…to a genuinely menacing, threatening, and thoroughly despicable character. He’s one of the finest portrayals of the character of Professor Moriarty ever put to the screen; I’m honestly surprised Vincent never played the character in live-action, especially considering both Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee played Holmes himself at different points in their own careers. Maybe somewhere in that big movie studio in the sky, the three of them are putting on the greatest Sherlock Holmes film ever made. Here's hoping a lot of us down here get to see it someday. One last thing: a funny story about Price in this movie. Apparently, when Price found out about the film, he outright called up the management and Disney and asked if he could take part in it. They responded by saying he would have to audition. “If anyone but Disney had asked me to do that,” Vincent said, “I would have been insulted!”   Tomorrow, the countdown concludes with my Number One! Who will it be? What will it be? Stay tuned to find out!

Who do you think of as a voice for Basil in this day in age? Since our wonderful Barrie Ingham passed away some years ago, I've found that the closest comparison for a voice for Basil would be Henrik Norman, aka the voice of Mr. Voice from the game Little Misfortune.
Hmm…probably Maurice LaMarche who voices Brain in “The Pinky and the Brain”? He voiced both Basil and Ratigan in “The House of Mouse.” I would gladly love to hear David Tennant voice Hiram Flaversham since he voices Scrooge McDuck nowadays. Haha! (Though secretly I wouldn’t mind him voicing Basil either since they both have the same energy. I base my human design of Basil off of David during his 10th Doctor days). Either way, I think there are a lot of good potential choices out there.

Faerie Tale Theatre Reviews: The Emperor’s New Clothes
“The people care not one whit for the inner workings of government. They only care that I look the part. If I’m to appear as a slovenly, disheveled ragamuffin, the subjects would assume that I am as common and ordinary as they are and unfit to rule this vast kingdom. No, they want to look up to me. They need to admire me. They demand I oppress them! And I shall.”– The Emperor’s raison d’etre that…

We start the first of a two-part series examining the musical Camelot, the Broadway hit based on T.H. White’s The Once and Future King, which I recently re-read in preparation. For part one, we look at both the original cast recording from 1960, as well as two clips from the Ed Sullivan show, featuring Richard Burton as King Arthur and Julie Andrews as Guenevere. Unfortunately, this is all we could find of that particular version of the show. We were, however, able to find a 1981 stage revival starring Richard Harris and Meg Bussart and filmed for HBO.
The 1981 production differs from the original production, streamlining some elements, cutting some characters, but largely is the same show. In both cases, the effort to condense a 700-page novel into a two and a half hour musical greatly simplifies some of the driving philosophy of the book—as much a meditation on politics and the rise of fascism as it is a consciously-anachronistic fantasy and elegy for a dying world (very much reading like Lord of the Rings meets A Connecticut Yankee). However, focusing on the love triangle and Arthur’s conundrum of balancing justice and mercy, might and right, makes for an effective musical, one which even influenced the popular culture conception of the then-current Kennedy administration.
In our next episode, we will examine the 1967 film production of the same musical.
1960 Broadway Original Cast Recording: Starring Richard Burton, Julie Andrews, Robert Goulet, David Hurst, Robert Coote, Roddy McDowall, and Robin Stewart.
1981 Revival: Starring Richard Harris, Meg Bussert, Richard Muenz, James valentine, Barrie Ingham, Richard Backus, and Thor Fields. Music by Frederick Loewe. Lyrics and Book by Alan Jay Lerner.
