What happens

Young Sherlock Holmes (also known with the title card name of Young Sherlock Holmes and the Pyramid of Fear) is a 1985 American mystery adventure film directed by Barry Levinson and written by Chris Columbus, based on the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The film depicts a young Sherlock Holmes and John Watson meeting and solving a mystery together at a boarding school. The film is notable for being the first full-length film to feature a completely computer-generated character, created by Lucasfilm's Pixar Computer Animation Group. This was a historical landmark in special effects history and influenced other CGI feature films such as Pixar's Toy Story. Young Sherlock Holmes was released by Paramount Pictures on December 4, 1985 to positive reviews from critics and grossed $63.7 million against an $18 million budget. At the 58th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for Best Visual Effects (Dennis Muren, Kit West, John R. Ellis and David W. Allen). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
