When a lovable London toymaker is kidnapped, his daughter turns to none other than legendary super-sleuth, Basil of Baker Street, setting the stage for one of Disney's most entertaining and fast paced musical adventures.

Full of colorful characters and spectacular animation highlighted by a cinematic climb to the top of Big Ben -- it's no secret why you'll love Disney's greatest little mystery in history!
