Blade Runner similarities
I have never heard anyone else talk about this but has anyone else noticed how similar The Great Mouse Detective is to Blade Runner? They are both about a detective and robots. There are scenes in The Great Mouse Detective that are very similar to some scenes in Blade Runner. Just the whole dark film noir atmosphere is similar. Think about this next time you watch The Great Mouse Detective or Blade Runner!
- They both have a robot/detective theme
- They both have a scene set in a dodgy bar where they are looking for someone. Both scenes end with a chase.
- The toy store scene is very similar in vibe to the scene in Sebastian's house with all the animatronics and scary toys coming to life
- Sebastian and Olivia's father are very similar character both making robots.
- Ending scene where Ratigan goes baserk and runs around like crazy just like Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner. Both scenes also take place in a tall building ending with Basil/Deckard almost falling to their deaths.
- Both soundtracks has a early 20th century style goodbye song.
There are probably more similarities.
