 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!  06-10-2009 | Found some new icons by kcscribbler and was granted permission to add them in three parts to the Live Journal Avatars page. Also, The Mouse Avenger wanted to submit two pictures to the Fan Art page and one story to the Fan Fiction page. For Fan Art, they are titled, GMD: My Word, Yes? and GMD: Fremdeliebe, Disney-style. For Fan Fiction, the story is titled, Interview With A Madmouse. Enjoy! 06-03-2009 | Happy 23rd Anniversary for The Great Mouse Detective for Thursday, July 2, 2009! I added the image from my desktop calendar to the Miscellaneous page of the Photo Galleries under Odds and Ends. Unfortunately, that is all I had time for this week, so till next time, have a great and safe Fourth of July weekend! 06-26-2009 | A new section is up at the Merchandise page. It's Children's Books with three current book cover images: the Ladybird book and two different covers from the Grolier book. Also added three new pictures under Odds and Ends of the Miscellaneous page of Photo Galleries. They are of the new Basil and Dawson sculptures from the Disneyana store in Disneyland. And yes, that's yours truly holding those two mice. ;) 06-19-2009 | Due to a recent reformat, the files and program used to run this site are unavailable at present time. However, I do not wish to leave you all high and dry. Two new clips have been added at the Music Videos page. In honor of Father's Day this Sunday, this seemed to be an appropriate video to add. It's titled, Olivia's Father's Song. Also, remember the video game, Basil, the Great Mouse Detective, from Commodore 64? Someone was kind enough to put up the ending at YouTube. If you wish to see the ending without playing the game, follow the link provided. Have a good weekend everyone! 06-12-2009 | Some new images are up for viewing at the Photo Galleries page. For Storyboards & Sketches under Sketches and Concept art, the new images are the following: an early design of Olivia Flaversham with Shirley Temple curls (seriously!), early rough drafts of Mrs. Judson and two wonderful sketches of Professor Ratigan with his cape caught in a clock gear. Next is two images at the Cels page: Basil shouting, "Ha!" on an invisible chair with Olivia gawking at him and Ratigan peeking in an invisible box. Images provided by Van Eaton Galleries. They can be purchased at their web site upon availability. 06-05-2009 | Twenty updates were once again archived. My friend, skyechan, was very helpful at the Scenes page. She was able to update "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind" and "Let Me Be Good To You" with English and multiple languages. Also, she has created a fun music video titled, The GMD Cast is Feeling Super! (Thanks For Asking). It's now up at the Music Videos page. Lastly, due to Geocities closing, the link for The Cheese Crumpet has been updated at the Links page. Thank you skyechan! |        |
