Editorial Review:
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
Secret of Nimh Reviews:
The Secret of NIMH 
2009-12-15 - I read the book when I was in 4th grade and recently read it with my 9 year old. We followed it up with the movie. It follows the book fairly well although there are some parts not in sync. My daughter loved it because it brought the story to life and she could see if the movie looked like the pictures that she had created in her head. It was good seeing the movie because it opened the floor to discussion about the book, comparison to the movie and I think helps with the reading comprehension skills.
Cute movie 
2009-12-03 - This is just a cute movie. I ordered it for my niece for Christmas. I know she will just love it. Good edition to any video library!!
Gen X Childhood Favorite, great for all ages.
2009-11-11 - If you have not seen this classic you have to check it out. It was one of my favorite animated feature films for its fun, adventure, and emotion. It is a great film regardless of your age. enjoy!
The plow is comming!!
2009-09-07 - Haven't seen this movie in about 20 years..It was neat to see it again. The annimation is great for the early 80's and the story is cute. I bought it to share with my daughter. I hope she will enjoy watching it as much as my mom and I use to. But don't expect the annimation to look remastered...it is still the same movie I saw as a child on a VHS. But I enjoyed it just the same. I would recomend this movie.
great movie, service
2009-09-02 - When I ordered this movie, it came quickly and was wrapped - brand new. Very nice! The movie is worth having: fantastic animation, good character development, interesting characters and story. All in all, great buy through this vendor!
