    Disney, Spoilers about Great Mouse Detective.

    These Vincent Price roles reminded me of another performance of his, as Professor Ratigan. It this Villainous character, Price also uses a mechanical robot as a means of deception! He kidnaps a toymaker to build a realistic, mechanical mouse-queen-Victoria, then he forces the real mouse-queen-Victoria to marry him so he can do Thatcherite reforms 80 years Early. Ratigan is also an example of Vincent Price having a keen understanding of exactly the movie that he's in. Like he's always a villain, but here he is playing this giant rat perfectly for a kids' movie
