History Characters / TheGreatMouseDetective

* EvilGloating: At the movie's beginning he brutally beats and kidnaps Olivia's father gloating evilly "Gotcha, toymkaer !"

-->"Sorry, chubby. You should have chosen your friends more carefully!"

* FaceDeathWithDignity: Well he's willing to, but Ratigan needs him too much and instead decides to hold his daughter as a hostage.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: She ends up being one of the [[TagalongKid Tagalong]] KidAppealCharacter. Olivia joins Basil and Dawson on the search for her father. Olivia, however, acts like a general child would, overly exited and [[TheLoad not particularly helpful]], and is pretty quickly captured by the bad guys after wandering off. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome A child isn't going to be much of a help when fighting a criminal mastermind]].

* ShakingTheRump: He does this briefly during the show.

* AdaptationalWimp: While he's smart and clever like the original Literature/SherlockHolmes he seems to lack his fightning skills like Baritsu. As shown in the climax he's not match for Ratigan altought that could be because Ratigan is taller, faster and much good in hand-to-hand combat than him.

* CaptainErsatz: Obviously to the famouse victorian detective.

* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Basil isn't the least bit distracted by Miss Kitty's burlesque performance. Lucky too, since he notices that his drink is being drugged.

* AdaptationalWimp: While he's smart and clever like the original Literature/SherlockHolmes he seems to lack his fightning skills like Baritsu.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's flamboyant and overacting but he's also a wicked mastermind responsible for an unconfirmed number of atrocious crimes. Not to mention his terrifying VillainousBreakdown at the climax.

* BlackFace: Wears an [[LatexPerfection eerily]] [[FatSuit elaborate]] disguise to impersonate a Chinese mouse.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: After climbing a wall just ahead of Toby, she smugly turns her back on him, hikes her tail, and gracefully leaps down to the other side. A {{Beat}}, and then [[GoryDiscretionShot all hell breaks loose.]] Felicia was so overconfident, she didn't realize she was jumping ''straight into the royal guard dogs' pen''...and LaserGuidedKarma finds her at last as she's mauled to death.

* VocalDissonance: Her singing seems this way at first: she's a cute, innocent-looking white mouse girl in a Victorian skirt and shawl, with the sultry alto voice of Melissa Manchester. But then she does her striptease and the dissonance [[SubvertedTrope is no more.]]

* EvilIsBigger: Far larger than anyone else in the cast, to the point the muscles in his arm alone are bigger around than Basil's waist! This is because he is a rat.

* BerserkButton: He despises being called a rat, even though he is one. So easy is it to get to him that one of his own men, and a punch-drunk one at that, manages to make him livid when he absent-mindedly calls him one.

* ThreeAmigos: Before Olivia gets kidnapped, he, Dawson, and Olivia certainly fit this trope while they're investigating the toyshop.

* AdapationalJerkass: Moriarty, who Ratigan is based on, is a BenevolentBoss who doesn't gratuitously [[BadBoss abuse]] and [[YouHaveFailedMe kill]] his own men the way that Ratigan does.

[[folder:Mouse Queen]]

The Queen of Mousedom.

* DisneyVillainDeath: After climbing a wall just ahead of Toby, she smugly turns her back on him, hikes her tail, and gracefully leaps down to the other side. A {{Beat}}, and then [[GoryDiscretionShot all hell breaks loose.]] Felicia was so overconfident, she didn't realize she was jumping ''straight into the royal guard dogs' pen''...and LaserGuidedKarma finds her at last.
