During the recording of Vincent Price's lines, animators sketched his exaggerated Shakespearean gestures and worked them into the animated poses for Ratigan.
Ratigan was originally designed to look thin and weak, but when Vincent Price was chosen to play the role, his appearance was changed accordingly.
The "Let Me Be Good To You" segment was almost cut because though brief, the lyrics and some animation was considered "too risqué" for a Disney animated family film, the animators avoided a PG rating and got the scene kept in by appealing to the censors on the grounds that the segment was a Caberet song and harmless in lyrics, and because the character animated singing it was a mouse, not a human and thus not questionable.
Vincent Price realized a life-long dream with this film. He had always wanted to be the voice of a character in a Disney film.
The clock tower scene is the first major use of computer animation (the clock's gears) in a feature-length animated film. The same scene was also the first time traditionally-animated characters were put inside a computer-generated background.
"[last lines] Dr. Dawson: [voice over] From that time on, Basil and I were a close team. We had many cases together, but I'll always look back on that first with the most fondness; my introduction to Basil of Baker Street, the great mouse detective."
"Ratigan: Oh, I love it when I'm nasty. Fidget? [Fidget snores] Ratigan: FIDGET! [Fidget wakes up, falling to the ground] Ratigan: Bright and alert as always. Here's the list. You know what to do and no mistakes! Fidget: No-no-no mistakes. Tools, gears, girl, uniforms... Ratigan: NOW, FIDGET! Fidget: I'm going, I'm going, I'm going! [Fidget scurries off]"
