As Disney continues to see great success by reimagining some of its classic and beloved movies through live-action remakes, it seems another has been added to the list: “The Great Mouse Detective.”
It goes without saying that Disney has seen a sensational amount of successwith its remakes of some of its early animated films. This year, Disney’s “The Lion King” and “Aladdin” live-action remakes grossed over $1 billion at the box-office each. Logically, it would only make sense to revisit this animated adventure film following Basil the investigative mouse.

According to a new report by We Got This Covered, the mice in the film will still be animated. However, everything else is said to be live-action. Besides this detail, not much else is know about the film, including any casting or possible production or release dates.
For those not familiar with the film, it was released in 1986 and told the tale of a little mouse girl’s toymaker father who was abducted by a peg-legged bat in Victorian London, England. In an attempt to get her father back, the girl enlists the help of Basil of Baker Street, a rodent with a keen sense for solving mysteries. What starts out as an abduction of a mouse turns into a much larger crime plot against the Crown itself.

Disney, continuing the cinematic tradition of derivative garbage making bank at the box office.

 

[Muttnik]

Fuck off the end of my dick, you CANNOT replace Vincent Price. That is literally impossible.

 

[JambledUpWords]

If that’s true, the movie might end up looking like this

 

[The Pink Panther]

It was only a matter of time before they got to this movie....

BUT WHY. This isn't going to be a guaranteed money maker. Great Mouse Detective is one of the more lesser-known Disney titles.

 

[Vampirella]

Fuck off the end of my dick, you CANNOT replace Vincent Price. That is literally impossible.

If I remember right that was one of his favorite roles. One of my favorite Disney villains. No one can match the energy he brought to Ratigan.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Always boo!

I love this movie, dammit Disney.

Never even heard of the original. Also I just heard Disney will also be doing a reboot of Home Alone : https://popculture.com/streaming/2019/08/06/home-alone-reboot-in-the-works-at-disney-/

It never ends with these people.

I can just smell the furry MAPs crawling out of the sewers to ship Basil and Olivia and getting into ship wars with the Sherlock (Cumberbatch-version) fangirls as we speak.

You underestimate the power of FOE YAY in the shipper Fujoshi Community.

 

[Stephanie Bustcakes]

Are they gonna put the mouse stripper in this one?

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

I'm pretty sure this will not make it:

 

[Stab You in the Back]

Never even heard of the original.

The original is a solid film. Not great, mind you, but one of the better films from Disney's anthropomorphic animal period.

You should check it out, Vincent Price was the bad guy. It’s a whole “Sherlock Holmes” thing. One of the darker Disney animated stuff.

 

[Dom Cruise]

WHAT!? I was just thinking "how crazy would it be if Disney did a "live action" version of The Great Mouse Detective?" since that's one of their more obscure movies and yet.... here we are, this is bizarre.

I'm pretty sure this will not make it:

But really, without that scene... what's the point?

 

[IceGray]

Next thing you know Disney will remaster Wind in the Willows in live action.

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

Remember ten years ago when we were getting a ton of shitty remakes of horror movies that couldn't compare to the originals? Disney's going through a similar phase with their animated movies, but it's even more jarring since more people are likely to have grown up with those movies compared to horror movies.

Great Mouse Detective's one of my favorite Disney movies, but there's not a chance in hell I'm seeing a remake of it.

 

[WhoIsSutterKane]

Damn I hoped this movie wouldn't get remade since most people don't even remember it. One of the only Disney movies I liked as a kid.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

Disney is run by soulless cash grabbing monsters.

In other news, water is wet.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

I’m actually missing those direct-to-DVD sequels now...
