Unlike her older brother Sherlock . Or even the oldest child of the family (she's the youngest) Mycroft Holmes.
Yes, as in *that* Sherlock Holmes.
Anyway, I do remember watching that first film and finding it entertaining enough, even if I don't remember all the particulars (aside from a lot of 4th-wall breaking talking to the screen going on).
That's not really that much of a hindrance to this one, with the key events given a quick recap at the start of the film - I also have to say that the frequency of the 4th wall breaking seems to have been cut back a bit (thankfully).
This movie takes the (real) story of the matchstick girls strike of 1888 as its basis, with Enola investigating the disappearance of a worker from that factory in a case that, as time progresses, starts to entwine more and more with that which her brother Sherlock is working on, eventually culminating in a (very) famous antagonist coming to light ...
(even if I did call it roughly 3/4s of the way through)

I must admit, also, that - while initially I found her to be quite annoying - the Kitty character did actually grow on me over the course of the season.

I'm not a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, but I was intrigued by this book. Turned out to be a fun twisty read with good characters. It took a little bit to feel like I was part of the story, but once I got going, I couldn't put it down.

The film explicitly acknowledges it's not sticking to the Conan Doyle canon, but still comes closer to the pulpy tone of some of the original stories than many more superficially faithful adaptations, and many very famous actors have been much worse as Sherlock Holmes than Nicholas Rowe is here. Writer Chris Columbus went on to do the first couple of Harry Potter films, which have a very similar tone to this. Rather charming, and very difficult to dislike.

The Plot: Basil embarks on the greatest case of his career when London's master toymaker is kidnapped. He ends up pitting his wits against his old adversary, Professor Ratigan, who wants to become `supreme ruler of all mousedom'.
The Great Mouse Detective- mixes "Sherlock Holmes", "The Rescuers" and "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" togther into one film. You have mystery, comedy, adventure, action and music.
Its a very underrated film, that i highly recordmend.

This game is a great gateway for non gamers and a brilliant way to spend an afternoon or evening.
10 mysteries in the box 20+ hours for your money. A group of 4-5 players. But it's a great game for 1 or more amateur detectives.
