Continuity mistake: When Professor Ratigan first climbs in his hot air balloon, it is a bright pink. Later, when Basil is chasing him through the sky in his home-made balloon, Ratigan's hot air balloon is a very dark burgundy.

9.7/10. My other favorite Disney movie from my childhood besides 101 Dalmatians. It's well done with a good story, good animation, and good cast. Vincent Price was especially excellent, one of the masters of horror. I enjoyed it very much as I'm sure every child will if they see it.

Trivia: The producers' first choice for the role of Basil was John Cleese.
