Summary: Good movie.........bad portrayal of cats.
Review: I like the movie,but how the cats are animated in "The Secret of NIMH" and "An American Tail" really shocked me. These cats are practically monsters! The cats growl and snarl like dogs. This is going too far. The cats roar too. They look horrible and they are supposed to be ordinary house cats. I don't know what they were thinking when they created these Franken-cats. I am already hot on the trail of what I call "cat racism". These cats are a bad example of what character designers can do to hurt cat lovers-by making monsters of our feline friends.

Summary: I obessed over this movie as a child
Review: As a child I obessed over this film. I remember loving the imagery and everything about the animation of the characters to even the title. I loved every little thing about this movie. Back in my kindergarten days, a cup of apple juice and this movie were all I needed. This is a good kids flick, period. Classic.

Summary: Great movie, awful DVD
Review: This movie has intense sentimental value to me, since I grew up with it as a child. When I discovered is was available on DVD I lept for joy and quickly baught it. However my joy has quickly fallen to disapointment. This is a pathetic DVD, no better then the VHS, from which I think it was transfered. Pan & Scan with a stereo audio track. The film is extreemly grainy and full of scratches. MGM is notorious for making horrible DVDs, and this is a classic example. Secret of NIMH isn't that old of a movie, I find it hard to believe they couldn't find an original print to do a good transfer from, rather then just copying the VHS. I sincerely hope they reevaluate this release and give us a remastered widescreen version in the future.

Summary: I have learned this much:Take what you can, When You can.
Review: This is an outstanding movie. I've rented this movie and watched it with my mother. I liked all the characters. I had heard that this movie was inspired by the children's book. I might say that this movie is a bit far-fetched, but this is great. I got it for 2 reasons. 1. I bought it for the musical score by Jerry Goldsmith. 2. I bought it for something new, and also for the song Flying Dreams. I can't say more! because I might ruin the whole film, but I can say This. "I've learned this much:Take what you can, when you can." I highly recommend this film to future movie buffs. This is great. You'll love it.

Summary: One of the best animated films ever!
Review: The Secret of NIMH is undoubtedly one of the best animated films ever! It ranks up there with the best that Disney as produced, and better that anyone else. The artwork is absolutely wonderful, the characters have depth and personality, and the way it is expressed on there faces is marvelous. It is a tale that both parents and children can enjoy. There is a lot of profound thought in this movie, if you want to find it. It is enjoyable for all ages. Certainly is Don Bluth's best production (Too bad they weren't all this good).Most of the very few negative comments that have been posted here have dealt with 1. the DVD isn't well done (certainly not the fault of the movie) or 2. that it isn't much like the book. True, it isn't, but that doesn't take away from wonderful movie that it is. I feel with this as with all movies, that the book and the movie have to be judged on their own merits, not in how they compare to each other. And this is a great movie. I actually feel the characterizations in the movie are better, and I would rather have Nicodemus die than Justin (which happens in the book). Bambi isn't at all like the book, either, neither is the Little Mermaid, neither is the Hunchback of Notre Dame, neither is Aladdin, and all are fine movies. Mrs. Brisby is a down to earth heroine that anyone can relate to. By the way, the reason it is Mrs Brisby, not Frisby, is because of copyright enfringements with the toy. This is definitely a five star movie, something everyone can enjoy.

Summary: 5 Stars for Don Bluth's finest animated feature
Review: When this film was released in 1982, I was only 5 years old. Adults may say this film is a bit too frightening at times for children, and I agree. However, having been a child that experienced this film in the theater, the best way to see it, it is something completely different. This is a story for children, and although the story has it's more dramatic moments, it is portrayed in a way only children can understand. I laughed during the funny scenes and gazed wide-eyed at the serious ones. When it was over I left and went on to adulthood. This film has been with me and it still invokes similar reactions as it became a part of my childhood. I am purchasing this DVD to add to my collection, and I will enjoy it all over again. Reliving ones childhood is truly a wonderful thing, and it makes for a happier person and a more fulfilled adult. I hope you find this review helpful and share in the joy and magic of animation.

Summary: One of my favorites ever!!
Review: I have been in love with this movie since I was 5 years old. My parents still love to tell the story of when we got it on Betamax (I'm dating myself as a child of the 80s here!) and I watched it like 100 times straight. I still love it to this day, and hope that some day my kids will love it too! It has a very unique story line from many other animated movies, and the characters are great, whose heart doesn't melt for the widowed mouse Mrs. Brisby and her kids? The supporting characters are great too, and range from an overprotective auntie to a eccentric scientist/doctor to a hilarious crow who helps Mrs. Brisby. The song at the end title, "Flying Wings" is beautiful too. I HIGHLY recommend this move, it should be discovered by and loved by all generations.
