iTunes is not physical media format and is a USA company for streaming and downloading to apple devices
UK iTunes is just a Country/Region version and is using the USA Digital file they not done a UK digital version
Look at the actual physical UK DVD Disc or UK Blu-ray Disc if you have either of them
Basil The Great The Mouse Detective is printed on the UK discs for a reason
The reason Basil The Great Mouse Detective is printed on UK DVD/Blu-ray discs is that's the official title in the UK
It has been the title in UK since the
1986 UK cinema release and also used on the first UK home media release since 1992
It's also the title in a few other european countries
All UK DVD and Blu-ray Amaray releases has Basil The Great Mouse Detective as the title in the artwork
UK VHS has same
This UK steelbook has the wrong title regardless if anyone cares or not about it
If this had of been a Steelbook release from Best Buy in USA then The Great Mouse Detective would have been correct but it's not a USA steelbook release
It's a release from Disney UK/Ireland sold from a UK retailer with UK Blu-ray inside
A mistake was made in designing the artwork by Disney Europe and I'm surprised it was not corrected before release
Zavvi even on Twitter admitted the title should be Basil The Great Mouse Detective on the steelbook
The Steelbook listing on their website has the correct title
UK/Ireland VHS and DVD releases has the UK title in the opening credits title card at the start of the film
UK 2015 Blu-ray used the USA 2012 Blu-ray file which is why it has US opening credits title card by an error as they did not do a seperate encoding for UK release
This may be corrected in later UK Blu-ray releases by Disney UK to use UK opening credits title card
Why was the title changed for USA
The original Basil of Baker Street, a title that the animators loved, was perceived as ‘too British’ by the marketing team and would ‘alienate’ American audiences.
(Yes God forbid a film inspired by Sherlock Holmes is too British – that’s just madness!)
Vice President of Walt Disney Feature Animation, Peter Schneider announced that they had changed the name to
The Great Mouse Detective for USA , much to the fury of the team (although as you can see by our title, it is
Basil the Great Mouse Detective in the UK and Ireland).
Walt Disney Company have the UK title officially listed as Basil The Great Mouse Detective
