Bartholomew

Bartholomew was one of Ratigan's henchmen in 1986 Disney animated film The Great Mouse Detective. He was voiced by the late Barrie Ingham, who also voiced Basil in the same film.

Biography
Bartholomew is an alcoholic. He was constantly seen drinking from a beer mug and became disappointed whenever he ran out. During Ratigan's song, he got very excited when Ratigan dumped a bottle of champagne into his water fountain. He immediately started drinking from it. Then, Ratigan kicked him in anger, and Bartholomew fell in and started swimming around in it. When Ratigan talks about his history with Basil, Bartholomew started crying and sobbing (most likely due to his being drunk). Later, when they are finishing up a verse of the song, he drunkenly says, "To Ratigan, the world's greatest rat!", which makes Ratigan very mad (as he dislikes being called a rat, because he has a above average intelligence). Ratigan threw him outside the hideout and summoned his pet cat Felicia (Frank Welker) with a bell. Bartholomew was too drunk to notice her, and she easily caught and ate him alive. After a short period of mourning from the other henchmen, Ratigan suggested that they finish the song before he had Felicia eat the rest of them, which they do out of fright.
