The Great Mouse Detective Live Action Remake In Development At Disney
quote:
The live action remakes just keep on coming! Following the massive financial success of Disney’s most recent reboots, the studio is planning on cranking out plenty more over the coming years. According to our sources one of these projects will reportedly be The Great Mouse Detective. The mice will still be animated, apparently, while everything else will be live action, much like The Lion King and the upcoming planned Chip ‘n’ Dale feature.

A sure way for them to screw this up is for them to try and make Ratigan less flamboyant and theatrical. [see: Jafar]
Vincent Price MADE this movie.

So the horror of the Cats trailer didn’t scare them off apparently.

They would be animated as mice I assume Not nightmare cat people

Yeah Vincent Price was so good in the original. No one they get will be able to a better job

I guess they have run out of classics to use and are now starting to dredge deep.
Live action Treasure Planet or Black Cauldron must be in the pipeline next.

Both of those would be badass

If they went back to the source material of Black Cauldron they could have a winner. I loved those books as a kid.

The article touches on how the success of TGMD convinced the studio to give animation another try, hence The Little Mermaid and the Silver Age of Disney animation. People focus on the fairy tale movies, but Mouse Detective and Rescuers Down Under were some kick-arse animated movies.

Treasure Planet has no significant lasting impact. I’d prefer a live action Atlantis.
Didn’t Black Cauldron bomb?

Watched it again with my kids in the last few years and it held up horribly, and I don’t just mean the animation.
It doesn’t help that the voice of Scrooge McDuck was one of the principal characters, as it made the whole thing jarring whenever he spoke.
Some other films like the animated Robin Hood would suffer from the same issue. Great nostalgia factor but the film looks like shite today and it would have the same kind of Furry issues as Cats to do it live action.

Oh Ratigan!!

Wave to the shark as you go over, Mickey...

One of my favorites of the originals. I just think this one will be pretty hard to pull off in live action. Hell, if they did it right and kept Ratigan the same, a live action version could scare the hell outta some kids

My point is that Mouse Detective tends to be one of those Disney films which gets ignored and lost in the shuffle for a number of reasons.
For the better part of the 90s and 2000s, it seemed Disney would barely acknowledge Mouse Detective, Black Cauldron, Oliver and Company, etc, as those were the bastard stepchildren compared to the vaulted classics and the stuff they did from Little Mermaid onwards.
It may be seen well internally but the company didn’t show it any love outwardly for a long time.
Cauldron and Treasure Planet are specifically brought up as both are seen as low points for the animation division.
Both pretty much got dumped out there due to studio politics to fail so that the bosses could make big changes. In the case of Treasure Planet, that was when they canned their traditional animation studio in favor of computer animated stuff a la Pixar.

If they don’t use Benedict and Martin as Basil and Dawson when they are in house already then why even do this?

If not them, then RDJ and Jude Law who portrayed another famous version of Sherlock and Watson.
And RDJ already does a ton of work for Disney.

Wish I could downvote twice. Top 5 Disney movie for me and my kids as well.

Can’t wait to see how they ruin one of my favorite animated movies

That's a really underrated movie.
Not as underrated as Rescuers Down Under, but still a good movie.
