  • Of Mice and Men: Eve Titus's Basil of Baker Street and Disney's The
    Of Mice and Men: Eve Titus’s Basil of Baker Street and Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective as Holmesian Adaptations Marc Napolitano (Wagner College, Staten Island, New York, USA) Abstract: Walt Disney Studios’ The Great Mouse Detective (1986) was the first (and only) Disney movie to engage Arthur Conan Doyle’s ubiquitous Sherlock Holmes series as a source for an animated feature film. However, this film was actually an adaptation of a previous Holmesian adaptation: Eve Titus’s children’s book series, Basil of Baker Street (1958- 1982). Titus’s stated purpose in writing these books was to create a gateway through which young readers might enter the Holmes canon, though this attitude sometimes inhibits her adaptation’s general concept by making her series entirely subservient to its ‘legendary’ source. Conversely, the Walt Disney Company’s trademark infidelity toward literary sources enhances The Great Mouse Detective as a neo-Victorian adaptation; by deviating heavily from Titus’s books, the scriptwriters and animators created an intertext that engaged a wider variety of Holmesian texts and sources. Moreover, Disney’s prior expertise in anthropomorphising animals allowed the animators to endow Titus’s animal characters with more individualised, human characteristics. Whereas Titus and her illustrator’s traditional ‘fable-like’ approach to anthropomorphism encourages the young reader to identify with the titular anthropomorphic mouse and to participate in his hero- worship of Sherlock Holmes, Disney leans toward a zoomorphic vision that renders Holmes and the Victorians accessible to young viewers. Keywords: adaptation, animation, anthropomorphism, Basil of Baker Street, detective fiction, Disney, The Great Mouse Detective, intertextuality, Sherlock Holmes.

Disney twenty-three was on the London set of the Rob Marshall-helmed movie musical and spoke exclusively with the director as well as the film’s stars, Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Plus, readers will get a look at Practically Poppins in Every Way, a stunning new book that chronicles the character on the page, in song, on the big screen, and on Broadway. And before Poppins returns, another Disney favorite is returning, when Ralph Breaks the Internet hits screens this Thanksgiving. Directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston and Vanellope herself, Sarah Silverman, guide us through the excitement Wreck-It Ralph will face in the wacky and wild World Wide Web. And the back cover of the new issue features an exclusive image created for D23 of the duo (lovingly) wrecking the Disney twenty-three logo. The first Mickey Mouse-themed ride-through attraction is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios next year, and the Imagineers behind Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway offer up exciting new details about the exhilarating exploits that will await guests (and the beloved pair) when they climb aboard this thrilling attraction.
