Editorial Reviews:

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

Summary: A cheesy disappointment
Comment: 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.

Summary: The Secret of Nimh
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Beautifully done and pertinent to the times.
Comment: The story is for children but deals with subject matter that we should all concern ourselves with. The question of what science is doing to our environment and the life forms which inhabit this planet. I took my children to see it when it came out and have now bought the DVD for my grandchildren.The story line is sweet and timeless.

Summary: Great film, but family fun edition?
Comment: I remember growing up and enjoying this film, but I also vividly remembering how much certain scenes scared the hell out of me, with the Owl, for instance. I whole heartily recommend this movie, but be mindful of you child's tolerance for scary images it might be worth while to wait until the kids are a little older for this gem.

Summary: Loved Since I was Young
Comment: Always loved this story since I was young. I bought it as part of collection for my nephew to watch when I have him over (and me too....lol).
