Young Sherlock Holmes

(At around twenty-three minutes in) This is the first theatrical movie to have a completely CGI (computer-generated image) character: the knight emerging from the stained glass window to attack the priest. Industrial Light & Magic animated the scene, overseen by John Lasseter in a very early movie credit for Pixar.

(at around 15 mins) Just before the flying machine crashes into the tree on its first flight, cables that the machine is hanging from are visible.

Before the end credits roll, there is a note that the film was an affectionate speculation on Sherlock Holmes' youth, and not based specifically on any of Arthur Conan Doyle's works: "Although Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did not write about the very youthful years of Sherlock Holmes and did establish the initial meeting between Holmes and Dr. Watson as adults, this affectionate speculation about what might have happened has been made with respectful admiration and in tribute to the author and his enduring works."
