If you have been following along my movie journey, you’ll know that my daughters and I are watching movies from a list I made. You can check that list out HERE if you’d like. There are a ton of movies on this list that I plan to watch with my daughters. These were movies I watched growing up, so I want them to experience these movies as well. We all sit down as a family each week and pick out a movie. We don’t always get to watch one a week, but we try.
About The Great Mouse Detective
In Victorian London, England, a little mouse girl’s toymaker father is abducted by a peglegged bat. She enlists the aid of Basil of Baker Street, the rodent world’s answer to Sherlock Holmes. The case expands as Basil uncovers the crime’s link to a plot against the Crown itself.
We always have snacks or a meal to go along with each movie. We made a charcuterie board to go along with this one. Since this is a movie that has to do with a mouse, or many mice, I thought this would make for a great bread and cheese board. We all know how much mice love cheese, so I had to go with some cheese for this one. We even made some cheese bread as well. We also had some orange juice and water for our beverages.
I honestly can’t remember if I had ever seen this movie as a kid. I think I remember bits and pieces of this movie, but I couldn’t remember it all as I started watching it. This might have been one of those movies that I didn’t fully watch, but I’m still glad I got to watch this one with my daughters. This was a Disney movie that never really got a lot of credit. My daughters and I enjoyed watching this one though. We thought it was pretty good.
I’d recommend this one since it is a Disney movie. I’ve always loved watching Disney movies no matter what type of movie it is. They are always some of my favorites. I know this wasn’t a very well known Disney movie, but I still recommend seeing it. We thought it was a decent movie. It’s especially great for kids or those who love movies about detective work. If you enjoy this movie, you can get it off AMAZON too.
I remember watching this movie over and over as a kid. It is so good! I need to re-watch for sure.
Right! It was a fun one.
This sounds like a good movie for my granddaughters. I think that they would love watching it.
I’m sure they’d love it.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this movie. I’ll have to watch it with my son. It sounds like a cute movie.
It really is.
I remember this movie that I saw many years ago. I loved the character Toby, the smart yet resourceful dog who did everything he could to stop the evil plans of Ratigan.
He’s one of my favorite characters too. I love that dog.
This one is a classic!! My nephew watches it to this day, glad to know it never died out!!
Right! I’m glad to hear your nephew likes it.
I’ve never seen this movie, but it looks like a great one! I love your snack ideas! Perfect for movie night!
Thanks! We love doing snacks with movies.
Cute movie! And that is a fun snack platter to go along with the show. Sounds like a fun film to enjoy together as a family. I’m surprised I haven’t heard of this one before.
