This may be unrelated to Disney, but I share a similar sentiment as the animators to The Prince of Egypt’s title. Just don’t feel like that title represents the subject matter the film is based on and sounds like a generic title you’d easily find on other animated films centered around Egyptian protagonists. Why couldn’t it have been The Exodus or Deliver Us, after the opening and closing song? Even if I were the director, I would’ve been proud of my film, but less so of my title.

I remember you sharing this fact in your updated Animation Lookback on Disney and it’s still as fascinating and funny hearing about the animators coming up with fake titles to get back at the change in The Great Mouse Detective’s original title. Though I think if they were to look at the one-word titles of Disney’s classic modern films like Tangeled, Frozen, Encanto, and Wish and soon Hexed, they’d rethink their stance on The Great Mouse Detective’s final title.

as animator Mike Gabriel put it Basil is a character you can fall in love with the great mouse detective's kind of an arrogant little idea
More User Perspectives
"The Evil Bonehead" is pretty funny for "The Black Cauldron", not gonna lie... but they could've made the title SO MUCH WORSE if they wanted to.
But hey, The Great Mouse Detective is still such a fun adventure movie. Underrated.
Clunky titles never really roll off the tongue, do they?
@BigLightning4360In the case of The Aristocats, the movie would have been called "The Wandering Pampered Cats"or "Rich Cats Get Lost". That sounds funnier than just "Aristocats"
Also, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh didn't have a mocky alternative title, so the alternative title for Winnie the Pooh would be "Stuffed Animals in a Forest"
The Great Mouse Detective, aka The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective, aka Basil the Great Mouse Detective.
@nathanielvaughn6728Movie is in germany still called Basil der große Mäusedetektiv
@felixleidig8307I think I definetly perfer its UK title 'Basil the Great Mouse Detective' which is a good comprise of the intended title 'Basil of Baker Street' and the title in the US and most of the world.

@sarahsims6164Jeez, one of my favorite stories of the Disney Studios right here. 😂
@MrSammyD91I almost lost at Aristocats. That reaction was perfect.
@davidzea-smith1417I actually made a joke on social media referencing this memo when Mat announced the release of Animation Lookback Blue Sky part 3 and I mentioned how Epic went through a similar situation as that film was also originally supposed to be the same title as the books “The Leaf Men” but was changed by Fox to the generic title “Epic” to be more marketable.
I suggested that Chris Wedge should have sent out a similar memo saying that Blue Sky’s other films should get a similar title change like “Three Prehistoric Animals Save a baby”, “A World of Anthropomorphic Robots”, An Elephant Saves a Tiny Village” and “Blue Birds in Brazil.”
I’m proud to say he enjoyed that comment!
That..... Was a good joke poking fun of the name change honestly. Also I agree it's underrated too. ^^
@doctorgamer100The Evil Bonehead took me out! 😂😂😂

@gingerquinn4263Could you imagine just how things would have gone had the trend continued
@gingerquinn4263Zootopia: Furry ACAB
The Lion King: Furry Hamlet
Home of the range: Thought Roseanne Barr was cringly with Maga, you should see her voice a cow
Chicken Little: setting the ground for 2012's Battleship in terms of unnecessarily and inlogically throwing aliens into a story that doesn't involve them.
Turning Red: Canadian Chinese girl turns into a giant red panda in a metaphor about puberty with girls set in 2002 that doesn't reference 9/11. Why do I care that the movie doesn't mention 9/11? Because shut up.
😂😂😂😂Not gonna lie, I really had no 💡 idea this actually happened as a Joke
@thefantasticretroreviewer3941Other Title Changes…
Moana: The Magic Rock
Frozen 2: The Singing Cash Machine
Zootopia 2: The Furry Cash Machine
Hoppers: Like Avatar
Toy Story 5: Another One
Of course Disney left out the 40's package films (except Fantasia), and Winnie the Pooh out of this joke. So I made up my own.
Latin American Cartoon Films (Saludos Amigos)
Three Birds In México (The Three Caballeros)
Musical Theater (Make Mine Music)
A Circus Bear, and A Mouse Who Climb A Beanstalk (Fun and Fancy Free)
Collection Of Melody Films (Melody Time)
A Crazy Toad, and The School Master Of Sleepy Hollow (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad)
The Silly Old Bear's Adventures (The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh)
I enever thought the movie title was weird.
@MrEnte3000The Great Mouse Detective is as good as How To Train Your Dragon, Spirited Away, Up and WALL.E
@jamescoppock4448I wonder what the joke title changes would have been for the Disney films released after The Great Mouse Detective.
@austinsullivan5965This film is such an enduring classic
Also Fun Fact: my mom actually named my sister after Olivia from this movie!
Happy birthday, Great Mouse Detective. 🎉 🎂
@AshParthReviewsWow those names make “flying bedroom boy” and “pooj the fat honey bear” sound dignified enough to be Hollywood classics. If you get the reference then you get a gold star.
@jaketucker2559Another fun fact, the climactic showdown between Basil and Ratigan in Big Been drew some huge inspiration from a similar scene in an anime film released a decade prior, that film, Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro
@efieds"The Boy Who Would Be King" is a cheeky reference to "The Man Who Would Be King," an 1888 short story by Rudyard Kipling.
Which, y'know, would've ironic given how The Jungle Book came after The Sword in the Stone.
Fun fact: In Latin America the movie is called "Policías y Ratones" which translates to "Cops & Rodents."
@DarkOverlord96Happy 40th anniversary to The Great Mouse Detective! 🐭 🔎👣
@SpacialRend7The Aristocats: Rich Cats meet a Stray
@WolfmanArtFunny enough, there’s actually a movie inspired by the story of the sword in the stone called “the boy who would be king”, it’s honestly pretty good
