Who is Basil of Baker Street?
Basil of Baker Street is the main character in Disney’s 1986 animated film The Great Mouse Detective. He is a brilliant and eccentric mouse detective, modeled after Sherlock Holmes, and lives in the mouse-sized equivalent of Holmes’ residence at 221B Baker Street in London.
Basil is known for his sharp intellect, keen observational skills, and quick deductions, which he uses to solve mysteries in the mouse world. His character is named after Basil Rathbone, the famous actor who portrayed Sherlock Holmes in numerous films.
In The Great Mouse Detective, Basil embarks on a mission to stop his arch-nemesis, Professor Ratigan, from overthrowing the mouse monarchy. Alongside his loyal companion, Dr. David Q. Dawson (who parallels Dr. Watson in the Sherlock Holmes stories), Basil uses his detective skills to thwart Ratigan’s evil plans and restore order.
Basil is voiced by British actor Barrie Ingham, whose performance brought wit, charm, and energy to the character.
