Another adaptation of the famous detective and his inseparable companion, or a fresh take? We assure you, it’s the latter. A new animated film featuring Sherlock Holmes is on the way. Stunning animations, mesmerizing scenes, and most interestingly — Holmes’ trusty sidekick, Watson, in an unfamiliar form.
This truly feels like a breath of fresh air. Watson, who has always been Sherlock's eyes and ears, now quite literally embodies those words — in this animation, Watson is transformed into a cat. Per Deadline, the film is based on the French comic book series Les Quatre de Baker Street, written by Jean-Blaise Djian and Olivier Legrand, and illustrated by David Etien.
Moreover, in addition to Watson, Holmes gains new companions to assist him in his investigations — a ragtag trio of street urchins who help him uncover the truth.
Targeting a 6-to-10-year-old audience, the series is directed by Francis Canitrot. It will consist of 12 episodes and is set to premiere in 2027.
Specifically, Baker Street Four focuses on three of Holmes' young helpers, offering an inside look at the group known in Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories as the Baker Street Irregulars.
