In the movie, toymaker Hiram Flaversham is kidnapped, or “mousenapped,” on his daughters birthday! And not just kidnapped, but taken by Fidget – a creepy bat with a peg leg! Olivia hires detective Basil of Baker Street to help her find her father! Basil works closely with Dr. David Q. Dawson, his assistant, to track down Flaversham, who is being held by the evil Dr. Ratigan.

And we can’t forget about the super cute basset hound, Toby, who helps Basil, Dawson and Olivia on their hunt for Flaversham!

But things go wrong when the crew comes across Fidget in a toy shop. As they begin chasing him he hides and later jumps out of a baby crib and kidnaps Olivia! Now it’s up to Toby, Basil and Dawson to find her AND her father.

Basil and Dawson soon find out why it is that Flaversham was taken by Ratigan – Ratigan wants to recreate the Queen in the form of a robot, so that he can run her every move, thereby making himself ruler – and because Flaversham is a toymaker, Ratigan believes he is the guy for the job.

Will Basil and Dawson be able to rescue the Flaversham’s from Fidget and Ratigan? And don’t forget Ratigan’s pet cat Felicia!
