(It was the first Disney animated feature to extensively use computer graphics, with which the climactic Big Ben sequence was created.)
Although all the studio's hopes were laid on the expensive 1985 epic The Black Cauldron (which bombed at the box office and was pulled from theatrical release after just two weeks) it was Musker and Clements who put Disney back on the right track with their 1986 mystery adventure The Great Mouse Detective. Two of the most gifted people to ever work in the field of animation, they helped usher in the Third Golden Age of Disney feature animation. The names Ron Clements and John Musker may not be world-famous, but their movies are.
