Featured review
One of the better, perhaps even the best, of the Burbank Sherlock Holmes adaptations
I have always been an avid fan of Sherlock Holmes, ever since seeing the Jeremy Brett adaptation of The Sign of Four. And I love animation when it's done right. And generally Burbank Films Australia's animations are done right, there are about five or six very underwhelming exceptions, but The Baskerville Curse isn't one of them. It does suffer from a number of failings, the animation is flat and shoddy especially in the character designs, the music while not badly composed does get too much after a while and drowns out the dialogue at times and while the story itself was slow to begin with some scenes are still rather pedestrian here. However, the dialogue is intelligent and thought provoking when it is heard, the hound is a very foreboding creature and the characters especially Holmes and Watson- a good thing as they are the crux of every mystery of theirs- do engage. Peter O'Toole is splendid as Holmes, quick-witted and thoughtful in equal measure. The rest of the voice work is generally serviceable, though there are some monotone moments. The star is how the story is handled. The pace of course could have been much tighter in the more expositionary scenes, but the adaptation is faithful in detail and spirit to the story and each scene that is included does have impact in some way or another. All in all, far from perfect but not bad. 7/10 Bethany Cox
