The Great Mouse Detective/Home media

==History==
Despite its financial success at the domestic box office, the film was not released on home video until after its theatrical re-release in 1992; this first home video release of it eventually became part of the Walt Disney Classics series. In August 1999, it was reissued on VHS with a game sheet inside it as part of a contest. It was later released for the first time ever on DVD in 2002, with a short making-of feature on how the film was made.
A new "Mystery in the Mist Edition" of The Great Mouse Detective was released on DVD on April 13, 2010 and on Blu-ray Disc on October 9, 2012. Unlike previous home video releases, which all used the 1992 reissue title print (The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective), this DVD restored the original 1986 title card. It also has the film in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio, revealing more picture and bringing it closer to its OAR. However, it has not restored the original 1985 variant of the Walt Disney Pictures logo (once plastered by the 1990 variant from the 1992 re-release and currently the 1994 variant), which is only remained in its initial theatrical release print.
