The Great Mouse Detective

The Great Mouse Detective
A Truly Underrated classic as it was on of the first movies to combine 3D & 2D animation and the first movie to do that well. It crossed a mile stone in Disney films that had this movie not been made, many classics (even non Disney) that followed would not have been created.
However, despite this ground breaking movie, it's popularity was short lived. Released in 1986 this movie didn't reach a following until the early 90s after it's second VHS release. This maybe because G.M.D. didn't reach the major European areas until the 90s where it went straight to video and didn't have a theater release. (Except theaters in England).
Finding Collectable items for this movie was a challenge because of it's age, it's low popularity. However, it's still considered a Disney Classic, and with any Disney anything, comes merchandise. The Items listed below are official. Some items were excluded from this list such as; Other Language Releases (Some added for interest), Some books & Odd items (Such as birthday balloons & cake toppers, Stickers and some Board/how to read books) because proving them official is close to impossible and finding unofficial material in real life is hard (because they don't have serious companies).
