Summary: Better Than the book
Review: this based on the book Mis Frisby and the rats of Nimh. But ssome things have been alterd. This is very intense movie with lot of scary parts. I recomend that little kids 7 or younger do not watch this film.

I saw this the first time on VHS in the second grade and it scrade the daily lights out of me. Still a good movie Jenier is the most sinter villian since Cluny the Scourage.

This film was made shorly after the originaly return of King was made. A good movie lots of actions and suspense. If you like adventure. I recomend if you like this 1 irecomend seeing the Secren of Nimh 2 they second one is alot less tense than the first one is. If you have realy little kids like 5 the second onne would be find. But unleash the are 9 or older you should not let them watch the original. To this day I still have nightmare's about the stupid cat Dragon chasing me. If you like this I also can recomend the redwall series.

Summary: The Secret of NIMH movie vs. the Book
Review: I've watched this movie throughout my life from when i was just a little girl. i've also read the book and still have the original movie and published book. yes there are characters missing and it isn't very accurate to the book but, I think the movie is wonderful, full of heart, courage and love that i think is portrayed really well. just because it's not accurate to the book doesn't mean it's a bad movie. i think they did a well job trying too atleast. I encourage everyone to go out and purchase the movie or rent it-It's very worth it.

I don't think people(like the people who left bad reviews)should judge a movie based on it's accuracy to the book, i think people should judge it on the context and the depth into the movie and let them decide for themselves whether they like it or not. this movie i encourage every child to see, it teaches what children need to be taught, love, patience, kindness etc. all the things a young child or teenager needs at their ages. it's a very heart felt movie and it should not be dismissed as a bad movie. people who left bad messages do not listen to them, as far as i know they don't know a whole lot about the movie and the book. the book is diffrent but very good and the same with the movie. you can't expect the movie to be the same as the book or else it would be like watching some one who is reading the book to you. i really hope that you take my advice from someone who has read the book and seen the movie too many times to count. have fun and enjoy!

P.s. go and see the sequal movie i'll agree it's not as good as the first movie, but it shows what happend after :)

Summary: Very Dreamy And Cool.......
Review: Absolutly brillaint~ The backgrounds sparkle and the animation is GREAT for the time it was made(1982)

I LOVE Mrs.Brisby. I have read the book, and this is not the exact copy of it, but still a GREAT movie.

A MUST HAVE!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Awful
Review: The storyline had NOTHING to do with the book! The animation was exceptional, but the storyline was repulsively unlike the book. If you didn't read the book and like stupid, farfetched moves, get this. if you don't, read the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than any Disney Film, I've ever seen!!!
Review: Don Bluth's "Secret of Nimh", is a wonderful movie. The animation is like, WOW!!! Even though the story is slightly different from the book; it'll keep your attention. I first saw this movie when I was 5 and loved it, now I'm 25 and I still love it. The voices for each character matches perfectly. I am sooo glad Disney did not make this film, they lack the imagination needed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your time!!!
Review: This movie was awful. I'm not criticizing the animation, which was above par, but the story is nothing like that of the book. After reading the "Secret of Nimh" I wanted my 5 year-old to see the movie. Big mistake. The book is much better. The movie plot was changed substantially and instead of "smart" rats we now have "magic" rats. If you want a wonderful story read the book and its subsequent sequels written by the original author's daughter. If you want scary, far-fetched, science fiction go ahead, waste your time with this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Secret of NIMH, Warning.
Review: Despite the title this DVD is not about Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Technology.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can I give 6 stars? EXCEPTIONAL
Review: This movie is one of the best ever made, animated or live-action, people or animals. Parts may be scary for your children, but those parts are short-lived and can be easily explained to calm their fears.

The plot is quite simple: A fieldmouse, Mrs. Brisby, must move her family's home before spring plowing, but there's a problem: her son is sick and cannot be moved. Therefore, she calls on the mysterious rats of NIMH (a laboratory), who have been injected with chemicals to increase their intelligence. In the process, she has to face an owl's den, a cat, a bumbling and hilarious crow, and treachery in the ranks of the rats.

The ending is truly magical and very powerful when Mrs. Brisby uses her stone ("which holds great power when used by one of courage") to do what even the rats cannot. A great tale of courage, and how you can do anything if you try.

Bottom line: Well-animated, well-lit, well-told, well-voiced. As good as any movie can get, for adults or children!!!

Rating: 5 stars
