The 1980’s were lean years for Disney. Sure, the studio gave us The Fox and the Hound to begin the decade and The Little Mermaid to end it (and start a resurgence for Disney animated features), but the near decade in-between produced some very un-Disney-like choices for theatrical features including 1985’s The Black Cauldron and 1986’s The Great Mouse Detective.
The concept may sound a bit goofy (no pun intended), but The Great Mouse Detective centers around Basil of Baker Street (Barrie Ingham), the world’s foremost mouse detective. As the film opens Basil and a doctor recently returned from Afghanistan, Dr. David Q. Dawson (Val Bettin), are approached by young Olivia Flaversham (Susanne Pollatschek) whose father (Alan Young) has been kidnapped by the evil Professor Ratigan (Vincent Price). Ratigan wants the toy maker to create a clockwork version of the Queen (Eve Brenner) which he can use to rule all of England.

Consultant, and former fake psychic and con man, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) returns for another season of helping the California Bureau of Investigation solve crimes. After dealing with last season’s cliffhanger that saw Jane shoot the man he believed to be Red John in cold blood, a crime for which he’s found not guilty in the season opener, things get back to business as usual.
Season Four of The Mentalist is highlighted by Jane burying a man alive, Jane working a case with another CBI team, a murder investigation involving Lisbon’s (Robin Tunney) former fiance, Jane’s nervous breakdown and relationship with a disciple (Emmanuelle Chriqui) of Red John, a new serial killer (David Paymer), an attack which leaves Jane with temporary amnesia, a case involving one of Jane’s old clients (Kelli Williams), Jane helping an old friend (Andrew Rothenberg) rob a casino, and the return of both cult leader Bret Styles (Malcolm McDowell) and Morena Baccarin as the manipulative and seductive relationship guru turned murderer Erica Flynn.
