"The Great Mouse Detective" is a film that suffers with a slight split personality. Three fourths of the movie is typical cutesy Disney fare; the last fourth, featuring the battle between the good detective and the evil Ratigan is somewhat intense, possibly a little too intense for the very young.

Mancini's score reflects this. The main title is exciting and engaging. Vincent Price's solo turns on "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind" and "Goodbye So Soon" are hilarious and melodic, in a sinister way. As an earlier reviewer stated, the Melissa Manchester addition "Let Me Be Good to You" is quite provocative for a "G-rated" family film.

The "Big Ben Chase" is ominous and thrilling as the two rodents are involved in a deadly battle atop London's famous landmark. Mancini's music has never been more "on the mark."

While not up to his work on the Panther films or "Victor/Victoria," this is still a treat for his fans.

I've Heard Many Disney Soundtracks, But "The Adventures Of The Great Mouse Detective"Is One Of The Most Fantastic!!!! I Love This Movie So Much, And Now I Love The Soundtrack So Much!! I'm Only 12, And I Still Think This Movie And Soundtrack Is Awsome!! My Favorite Is The "Big Ben Chase", This One Is When Ratigan And Basil Are On The Big Ben Clock Tower And They're Battling!! Half Of Why I Like This Film Is Because Of The Music.This Is A Very "Great" Soundtrack,And If Your A Fan Of "The Great Mouse Detective",You Should Buy This Soundtrack!!! YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

I have always been into London's history and I LOVE the Great Mouse Detective because it's in London in the 1890's. I've have always pretended to be a second mouse assitant of Basil's to go on cases with he and Dr. Dawson. Now the soundtrack made it even more fun. I LOVE the Big Ben Chase on the soundtrack when Basil is in a life or death battle with Ratigan on Big Ben's hour hand. I still LOVE the movie and the soundtrack today and I'm proud to say that I'm 13 years old and I still pretended to do cases with two imaginary mice.(P.S. I'm watching the movie right now!)

This is a great CD for one of Disney's most underappreciated animated films. Vincent Price is fun to listen to as Ratingan. Melissa Manchester's song "Let me be good to you" may seem a little racy(if you've seen the film, you know what I'm talking about), but it's all in fun and there's nothing truly wrong with it. I suggest picking this up.

Being that I'm only 14, I don't mind if this review isn't appreciated. But, this movie has been my favorite since I first saw it at a friends house in first grade. Even then I loved the music to it. Al so, since then it's always been my favorite animated movie.(Note: I'm watching it right now) The music is wonderfully done, it fits in perfectly with the wonderful voices and it even gives the backgrounds and animation itself a bit more of a 18th century twist. The songs are very cute, even "The Greatest Griminal Mind" is fun to litsen to. I give the music to this movie an A+, and I highly recommend it to be added to your music collection.

I think this soundtrack is the coolest because, you can
picture the movie in your head. I've always loved the movie, and I Love the characters in the movie. The music is thrilling and exciting. Henry Mancini tried to make you think that you are in the movie. This is a fun and thrilling soundtrack. BUY IT, YOU WILL LIKE IT!

Henry Mancini is a musical scoring genius and this soundtrack is no exception Vincent Price I was Surprised to learn is an amazing singer and Melissa Manchester singing let me be good to you is such comic relief you forget it's supposed to be a bit scandalous but that's where part of the comedy comes from all in all a great soundtrack but I Don't understand why the audio Quality of world's Greatest Criminal mind is so good when you watch the movie but when you put on this soundtrack it sounds faded out like what you hear when you listen to an old time radio show otherwise everything else is up to par and it's a great soundtrack if you can get it

Disney's soundtrack for this Great film is terrific from beginning to end. My favorite tracks are: I. "Main Title," II. "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind" & III. "Goodbye So Soon." Vincent Price was a good singer, and he should have sung more. Great Disney introduction to Sherlock Holmes for kids.

This is a must get! It's out of print, but you can still order it at Spin Records. That's were I got mine!

This product arrived in a timely manner and in super good, like new shape. Just like the add said it would.We are super happy with it. WOOO HOOO! Thank You!
