      The Secret of NIMH


Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
In his book, Robert C. O'Brien called his brave widow mouse "Mrs. Frisby," but Disney escapee animator Don Bluth must have thought kids would laugh the wrong way at that. They renamed her "Mrs. Brisby" for NIMH. That acronym stands for the National Institute of Mental Health, and the rats that live near Mrs. Brisby came from NIMH--they have strange ways. But they're the only ones who can save her house and her children, so Brisby seeks them out with the help of a humorous crow (Dom DeLuise). The magic gets laid on a little thick but this is Don Bluth's most successful attempt to achieve a complete, sincere, animated film. It's often forgotten, but it's a true surprise and a rare treat in the vast wasteland of insubstantial children's fare. --Keith Simanton

The Secret of Nimh
I recently purchased the Secret of Nimh from Amazon.com. I am very pleased with the movie, the ease with which I was able to make my order and also with the time it took to receive my movie.

Childhood Classic
I've actually tried reading the book, but I just love the movie so much more. Mrs. Brisby is a single mother mouse desperately trying to save the life of her oldest son, Timmy. In the process, this timid heroine is forced to face her fears and doubts in order to become stronger and accomplish her goal. The characters are very loveable, cept for your villains who are appropriately creepy in the classic Bluth form. If you want something far more in-depth, the book would be a better read, BUT, for good old fashioned family fun, this is the perfect movie, especially on a rainy day.

Love this show! Many differences b/t book & movie, but still a good movie to view!
Many differences b/t book & movie, but still a good movie to view! The only thing that really bugged me is that they changed her name to Mrs. Brisby, with a B, when her name is Frisby. Oh, well, little things bug me, but overall, I have always enjoyed this movie!

A cheesy disappointment
My mom bought me the movie after we finished reading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. I was really excited to watch it. When I did, I ended up bewildered and disappointed. First, there were many things in the movie not even in the book. Also, I didn't understand why Nicodemus and the owl had spooky, yellow glowing eyes. They were very creepy. The movie was much more violent than the book ever was. The rats don't even look like rats. The rats were just smart, there was no need for magic. In conclusion, this movie was very cheesy. No pun intended.

The Secret of Nimh
This has always been one of my favorite animated films. It follows the novel pretty well, and is just really enjoyable to watch. I absolutely recommend it.
