The Great Mouse Detective is from Disney's weaker period, which started somewhere after The Jungle Book (1967) and ended with The Little Mermaid (1989). During that period Disney just was not able to make any of those famous Disney animated classics. This animated feature, though very short, does not entertain too much. The beginning is just too slow, the main villain not good enough and there are not enough laughs. The funny thing with this film was however, that when it finally got interesting and had enough momentum to keep me interested and entertained, it ended. Concluding, I would say that this is not a film for grown ups, but I know I loved the comic book about The Great Mouse Detective when I was a child, so maybe this one will entertain your child(ren). If you're going to sit and watch a film with your kid(s), I'd chose another film though.
