A gorgeous looking film that retains the Disney charm and humour and does a splendid job with the key Silver/Hawkins relationship from the novel, but is missing the little extra on the plot front to make it truly memorable. It thus falls short of the top echelon of Disney animated classics, but that is a very high bar to clear -- this film is well worth your time even so.

A refreshing installment in the Disney Princess collection. Not without its flaws, but certainly a strong film with some refreshing spins on certain old tropes.

The story is a bit bland and by the numbers, and while perfectly fine, as a result this is not really in the upper echelon of Disney films in my book. The music, though, is very good and incredibly catchy, and really lifts the film from the large "decent and OK" crowd of animated film, to being among the few that stay with you and feel quite memorable. It's still not in league with Disney's best offerings, but after nearly a century of animated feature film output, that might be an show more unreasonably high bar to ask it to clear. It's better than most, it's good fun, and I've bought the soundtrack. show less

A fun sort of alternative history romp through late 19th century England with a mouse who is basically Sherlock Holmes. The story's a little weird but it's a fairly enjoyable film.
