The Great Mouse Detective

I have a NetFlix membership, and I love it. Not only to I get to stick it to those fuckstains over at Blockbuster video, but it allows me to......

I don't know how to finish that sentence. Fuck you Blockbuster.

Actually, I do, but I think the above sentence was funnier, so I'll let it slide. NetFlix allows me to put random-ass movies that I haven't seen in years into my queue.

Recently I got the Disney film, The Great Mouse Detective, which I remember seeing in the theater as a smooth young boy.

It features Vincent Price as Professor Ratigan, probably the best villain ever for Disney, at least when it comes to pure voice acting.

I will always remember being terrified at this scene.



Notice the drunk mouse who eventually makes a drunken mistake that costs him his life.

I was convinced that alcohol was the Devil's Mouthwash, because the fact that the mouse actually dies terrified me. I never wanted to ever drink something that would make me do stupid things.

Did the eventual nightmares of that mouse's death eventually lead me to start drinking whiskey at the tender age of 9, just so I could get some dreamless sleep? Sure, but that's besides the point.
