Does Calvin Harris Look Like Basil From The Great Mouse Detective?

Disney is famous for their anthropomorphic animated characters. In other words, animals that possess human qualities, whether in appearance, voice, behavior, and speech. Today some stock photos from the GQ And Giorgio Armani Grammys After Party were used in a story about Calvin Harris "officially" following Taylor Swift's Instagram account. It dawned on seeing this image of Harris, that he looks a lot like Basil of Baker Street from The Great Mouse Detective. The Great Mouse Detective was a Disney animated film adapted from a children's book called Basil of Baker Street written by Eve Titus. The Disney film came out in 1986, and was re-released in 1992. I remember the film fondly. A great mystery thriller, very different from the usual Disney canon. Aside from certain similarities in features, such as the long nose, do you think Calvin Harris and The Great Mouse Detective have more in common? Personality? Calvin definitely has better musical skills. Remember that awful violin playing Basil would do when troubled by a case? Say no more. Comment below.
