 Welcome to The Game's Afoot!, the definitive fansite for Disney's 26th underappreciated animated classic, The Great Mouse Detective (1986). Relive the exciting adventures of a clever mouse, Basil of Baker Street, and his arch-enemy, the notorious Professor Ratigan, in London 1897. This site contains the most comprehensive information and media on this underrated Disney gem. Be sure to sign Basil's Guestbook, feel free to contribute, and enjoy! IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY PHOTOS WITHOUT PERMISSION FIRST. IF YOU WANT TO USE ANY PHOTOS, PLEASE CREDIT THE SITE AS WELL AS PROVIDE A LINK BACK TO THE PAGE YOU GOT THEM FROM. THANK YOU!  05-25-2012 | Contributions were all made this week by Marina Pieroni in the forms of art, two music videos (Places of London - The Great Mouse Detective tribute and Show Me How You Burlesque - TGMD at the Music Videos page) and one fan-made trailer (A Nightmare on Elm... uh... Baker Street at the Trailer page). Have a good weekend! 05-18-2012 | Completed another artist's page at Fan Art, this one for Mykenna Tremblay. Also, remembering Wayne Allwine, whom passed away on this date in 2009, I added a split-picture image of Mickey Mouse's similar character features next to another famous mouse. Have a good weekend, everyone! 05-11-2012 | This Saturday, May 12, it will be my fourth anniversary as web mistress to this fansite. Wow! This week I added photos and information to a Golden Book Sticker Fun Book to the Merchandise page. Also added a photo of Basil with Douchka to the Contemporary Cast & Crew page. Whoever is celebrating it, have a Happy Mother's Day on Sunday! 05-04-2012 | Basil and Olivia appear on the May 1st page of the 2012 Disney Desktop Calender: A Year of Animation. The page has now been added to the Miscellaneous photo page. Also added a new link to the Music Videos page titled, Douchka - "BASIL" [clip intégral]. Mild slash is in this video; don't say I didn't warn you! 04-27-2012 | Added images and information to Bringing Mysteries Alive for Children and Young Adults at the Merchandise page under the topic: Books (with GMD mentioned). Also added two new images to Atarial's fan art page: Modern Dawson Coloured and Pondering Coloured. 04-20-2012 | Added a new book cover image of a Basil of Baker Street paperback to The Series page. Also added Basil ~Bring me to life~ to the Music Videos page. Have a good weekend! 04-13-2012 | Happy Birthday to Ratigan's Dad, Glen Keane! This week I added a photograph of him (along with layout artist Mike Peraza) to the Contemporary Cast & Crew page. Also added information on a watercolor painting created by Michael Hobson to the Professional Artists page. Have a good weekend everyone! 04-06-2012 | Added two new Original Production Drawings to the Storyboards & Sketches page: Felicia and the robot Queen. Also added Basil Hawk-Tamer by Teles to the Fan Art page. Hope everyone has a Good Friday and a Happy Easter! 03-30-2012 | This week I removed all of the Basil of Baker Street image covers from the synopsis page and placed them on the main page of The Series as thumbnails. I also added a new one to the thumbnails: the yellow cover with Basil and Dawson (courtesy of Iona Campbell). Also added to the Scenes page is a short animation clip created by Patrick Tuorto. The voice of Basil is not Barrie Ingham, but rather a very well-known Sherlock Holmes screen actor. Hint: the mouse detective was named after him. ;) Have a good weekend! 03-23-2012 | Moving on to revamp the Fan Art page, I've created a section called Artist's Personal Pages. Atarial is the first for this update. Next, Van Eaton Galleries has added two pieces for purchase: a cel of Basil and Dawson and a layout drawing of Olivia, Dawson and Basil (walking over the chessboard). Each have been added to the pages of Cels and Storyboards & Sketches. 03-16-2012 | Added a photo of the Green Basil Plush to the Merchandise page. Also added a link to the story, A Bird in the Paw to the Fan Fiction page. Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone! 03-09-2012 | Revamped the two House of Mouse pages at Miscellaneous by adding new photos and video clips. Also revamped the photos at the page for the Original Production Maquettes along with a new photo from Action Figure Insider. As a last-minute addition, I added the trailer to Disney Family Movies at the Trailers page. Have a good weekend! 03-02-2012 | Created and added three small clips to the Scenes page: Goodbye Basil, Lighten the load, and German music (tribute clip for Laurie Main). At the Miscellaneous photo gallery page, I added the Disney desktop calendar image for March 3rd and 4th. Cheese crumpet anyone? ;) 02-24-2012 | This week I updated Laurie Main's biography page due to his unfortunate passing on February 8th. Also added the English and German version of "Basil, der große Mäusedetektiv Der Rattenzug" (The Great Train Robbery or The Rat Train) to the Comics page. Have a good weekend! 02-17-2012 | Added a delightful bar fight picture called Solving the crime to the Fan Art page. Also added another photo to the new Contemporary Cast & Crew page, this one featuring Glen Keane. Till next week! 02-10-2012 | Happy Birthday to Barrie Ingham, the voice of Basil! This week I created two new pages for Photo Galleries. They are Contemporary Cast & Crew and Professional Artists. The first page has a new photo with Barrie Ingham and the second page has a new art piece of Basil on a clock cog by Jennifer Oliver. Have a good weekend! |        |
