Titus wrote a series of stories about Basil of Baker Street; a mouse
that lived next door to Sherlock Holmes and who shared many of his
skills and traits. Walt Disney Studios adapted the Titus stories into a
wonderful feature film that was still able to maintain the Arthur Conan
Doyle's Sherlock Holmes characters, even though they were transformed
into a mouse world. The famed actor Vincent Price was the voice of the
film's villain, Ratigan; and the film has a very strong fan following.

Toby,
the basset hound, is one of the great Disney Dogs! He is lovable, fun,
rolls on his back for scratching, and like all dogs works for food;
specifically cheese crumpets. Toby is also obedient and being a hound
dog, he is great at tracking. In this scene; Basil, Dr. Watson, and
Olivia are off to track down the whereabouts of Olivia's father; and you
can see them on Toby's back near his collar, with Basil holding onto the end of leash hook. This is an outstanding cel of Toby,
he is full figure, eyes open, and he has his nose to the ground trying to pick up the scent of
his prey. A fantastic contemporary cel setup, full of action, and just perfect for any animation art collection!
