Basil of Baker Street

Basil of Baker Street, or Basil for short, is the dauntless hero and the main protagonist in Disney's 1986 film The Great Mouse Detective. He was voiced with appropriately-sophisticated English by actor Barrie Ingham. Basil is a take-off of the classic Sherlock Holmes character, modeling his career after the famous detective's. Basil is portrayed as a brilliant, plucky mouse who refuses to back down or end his pursuit against Prof. Ratigan, which makes him tenacious. Basil comes off as a jack-of-all-trades at several points in the movie, showing skill in areas such as science, history, and disguise (though his disguise inevitably fails), not to mention being physically capable (this is emphasized in the film's climax in the Big Ben Tower).
