  • RIP Dom DeLuise. Funniest voice actor ever!

  • Watch this on Netflix, OnDemand now!

  • i love redwall and rats of nimh :)

  • i've remember watching this a looong time ago.

  • This movie sucked

  • A Legrégebben láttam ezt az animációs filmet

  • don bluth? he's the director of thumbelina :D i wanna see this now!!!!

  • I just watched this for the first time. Amazing animation with a great storyline!

  • miss oldskool animation

  • Hey, wtf, NIMH, like the battery we use today, someone should start suing!

  • best film ever made by don bluth

  • O.O I had to read this book for my book report with my literature circle group. We all liked the book.

    Then I saw the movie in a store and I thought, well it looks kind of odd, but hey, it's the Rats of Nimh, it's gotta be good, right?

    So me and my literature circle watch it....

    We all have the same thought:

    WTF?

  • Will you HUSH UP?!

    I loved that scene!

    Will you HUSH UP?!

    Why don't YOU HUSH UP?!

    Precouscious MONSTER!

    BOSSING BULLFROG!

    SPOILED BRRRAT!!

    LOUDMOUTH!!!!!

    OH D-:< ! WELL!

  • @ltrainblume LOL i remember that it was my fav scene

  • Don Bluth at his best. Great work, man!

  • such a dark film

  • rember seen this as a kid, it was pretty scary!!!

  • Always makes me fall asleep in the first 10-20mins

  • movies with talking mice are always the coolest :)

  • Comment removed

  • I was too young to remember the whole movie but it was kinda scary if i remember correctly

  • i felt that the movie was short i mean i felt lik i missed certian parts of the movie

  • @meg5493 I agree i just watched it and it was as if there were parts left out. Maybe they had to cut the movie short?

  • @horderulzforever maybe im going to read the book if i have time and see if theres a difference

  • This looks messed up compared to the pictures in the first book (Mrs. Frisby and the rats of NIMH). No offense.

  • My class read the book together and we're gonna watch the movie tomorrow. Hopefully it's as good as the book... :)

  • I hate when embedding is disabled by request...

  • I must have watched this a thousand times as a kid. I never understood what it was about. I'm glad i finally rediscovered it.

  • Secret of Nimh was a really good movie. Actually one of the Nostalgia Critic's fav movies BTW. I liked it a lot. It was really good. This was when Don Bluth was doing great, American Tail, Land Before Time and All Dogs Go To Heaven were really good too. In the 90's I only liked 2 Bluth movies Anastasia and Titan A.E. His other movies in the 90's Rock-A-Doodle, Pebble and the Penguin and Troll In Central Park sucked. Thumbelina was ok. Only good part of Pebble was Tim Curry.

  • I vaguely remember this.

    Especialy the old mouse.

  • i love the book of it Mrs. Frisby and the rats of numh

  • @playtime3701 book was amazing

  • Will Don Bluth ever make any more movies? Seriously I'm bored of the 3D animation.

  • it does me think of a moron on Secondlife he called him self Nimh20 lolsssss

  • The proof why this movie left a big impression on me as a child: years later I had to search online for hours just to know the name of what this movie was called.

  • First off, im 19. I haven't seen this one, but Don Bluth is a hero.

  • @0007ManMountain Watch it! It's amazing! I think they have this on Blu-ray now actually.

  • the owl for some reason reminded me of "The Duke"

  • Jerry Goldmsith delivered a great score

  • I saw this when I was a very young kid, then when I was in sixth grade I read Redwall, and images of this movie that I had subconciously remembered kept popping up. It was rather interesting, to be honest.

  • Thats the same with me! I've only been able to remember small parts and how much I absolutely love it. For years I've been searching for it, and I finally found it :)!

  • This was my childhood movie. Im reading the book now.

  • THE BIRD!! OMG THE BIRD WAS THE BEST CHARACTER IN THE WHOLE MOVIE!!! :DDDDDDDDD

  • I had this movie on tape as a kid it always scared the shit outta me never finished the film.

  • @Sniperyeti and then it says it appropriate for all ages :P

  • I had this on VHS as a child but i can never forget a movie like this. It was my nr 1 favorite movie and still is

  • *starts crying nostagia tears* T_T

  • Comment removed

  • This is the first time I saw this.... I don't even know how I was lead to a scene in NIMH 2 yesterday.

  • oooh fuck man i saw this movie when i was a litlle kid, i forgot all about it !

    thnx finebros.

  • My childhood....

  • the black cauldron always reminded me of this movie. they both have a dark element yet they are children's films.

  • thats funny the book is very difrent

  • i remember owning this movie. now that i watch this trailer, to me it seems a lil bit scary of a young kid to watch. but then again i havent seen it for ages

  • Not all CGI movies are crap you know.

    A LOT of work is put into them and theres plenty of modern animated films around that are gems.

    I have to admit though, I wouldn't mind seeing more 2D like this nowadays..

  • why did this great movie get a crapy trailer

    

  • This is one of my fave moives! I saw it when i was in the 4th grade at school! The one thing that made me happy in the 4th grade...

  • i kinda felt when i watched it i missed a big chunk of the movie :(

  • unbelievable, i never knew the name of this Cartoon and now i finally found it. It's kinda strange, i am just 17 now and already missing my childhood, with all old cartoons. Nimh, watership down, fox and hound, lion king etc. Somehow my youth was a time where i was really happy everytime and just without any provides.

    *sigh* but this is how life goes i guess, thanks for uploadind. I am really happy to stumble across this memories :)

  • Always wanted to see this!

  • I love this movie! but as a kid it scared the Hell outta me!

  • holy shit i've been trying to figure out what movie i've been remembering for years ... this was it

  • @Ectharias same here. I was doing google searches: minx, nymph, legend of nimx. Finall did a search on animated mice movies and got it!!!

  • @Ectharias I had exactly same around year back ^^

    so glad to re:foud classic like this

  • HOLY SHIT NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD

  • Discover the Secret of NIMH, and rediscover the child in us all!

    Too bad children nowadays get spongebob, cow and chicken, and some other form of bright, nonsensical, watch it then forget it entertainment. I'm not saying it's bad...

    ...but they ain't got nothing on this.

  • @zackunderscorefalcon Cow and Chicken was hilarious

  • It's thanks to this movie I'm scared as shit of spiders, but it's still one of the greatest movies of my childhood.

  • The Secret of NIMH is a very big phenomonal masterpiece film. The animation is so beautiful as well as awesome. Even the music is fabulous. This movie deserves very big credit. Don Bluth's a genuis. To hell with most Disney animation movies. As a kid, this film had made me feel a real awakening. I'd say fuck computer animation movies. They're not made of real art and they're lazy to use real art. Thumbs up if you agree with me.

  • @Marguerite21 well don bluth was awesome until the nineties 

  • @SpiritusPhantom I know what you mean. Most of what he made in the 80's is better. I do like The Land Before Time and All Dogs Go To Heaven. They're my favorites too even though The Secret Of NIMH is my most favorite.

  • @Marguerite21 did you know that they made a crappy sequel of this called Timmy to the rescue?

  • @SpiritusPhantom Yes I know that they did and it was very stupid of them. Very poorly done since I've seen it. Especially since the writter of Mrs. Brisby And The Rats Of NIMH didn't write a sequel. If he did, I would know well that he'd try to please his fans by writing the sequel well and not for nothing. Only if he felt inspired too but he didn't and you know what? Sometimes when you complete a story with no continueing, it's what makes the story the best.

  • @Marguerite21 but the writer did write 3 sequels to the original book

  • @SpiritusPhantom Okay. I actually didn't know that. I thought he just wrote one book about rats and mice. Thanks for the tip. I'll look it up.

  • @Marguerite21 my mistake there were only two sequels

  • @SpiritusPhantom It's alright. I looked it up and the sequel was written by the author's daughter after he died. Those who read the squel said that they didn't like it and I don't blame them. If O'Brian was alive he would have done a better job. The story is his very own.

  • @Marguerite21 You know, it takes even more time, and it´s more costly, to make a computer animated film. So just because it´s done in computers, dosen´t mean it is easier, quite the contrary.

  • @Jackeduphobo33 I know about that but thanks anyway.

  • I Love This Movie I swear i watched it when i was a kid and was tryin to find it !!!!! juss now found it !!!!!!: )

  • Haveing a art form is so much better then CGI mass production how is it to day

  • What is it with old movies and making the sky an apocalyptic color? Seriously, the sky looks like post nuclear war or something... >_>

  • It was fucking scary for me as a child... the second one was much brighter and I liked it better, but now I love them both. Long life to Marty, my fav character!!!!

  • They need to make movies like this again. I am so sick of seeing live action and CGI. I want a 100% 2D animated film again >=(

  • This is one, maybe not THE best Don Blueth movie. But to be fair, this one is based on a novel, so it wasnt a new idea ;)

  • best animated mom ever!

  • Does anyone here remember an animated movie about a mouse and an Elephant that got married in the end? I've been trying to find this animation for over two years.

  • @Imadeyourun

    probably thinking of Mouse and Child...the father mouse married a pink elephant. they were both wind-up toys until a muskrat fixed them so they could move of their own free will. it was based off a Russian story, though i cant remember the author

  • @etheangel2220: Yeah, that's it. I found it a few days ago, but thanx anyway. :)

  • this film used to scare the fuck outta me but i still loved it

  • I'm so glad my 4th grade teacher read this to us, otherwise I probably never would've encountered this amazing film or the book itself. I hope that teachers still bother to share greats like this with their classes in today's time, it would be a shame if they didn't!

  • @sabortooth47 I disagree. Almost everything Pixar does is ugly, digital crap that looks like a commercial for its own merchandising.

  • I loved this movie and still do this animation is the best and the story is just as good plus I think the animators who did this movie were the ones who worked on Dragons Layer Arcade game :)

  • Nowadays when farmers plough their field, they have to start from the outside, not from the middle, they have to start from the outside so that the wildlife doses not get ploughed as well as the field.

  • Does Dom Deluise do the voice of the crow on this? it sounds like him.

  • @Floobegusted Yes, it's him. He was such a great voice actor :(

  • @Necrypt Thank you very much.

  • When i was very young i grew up watching movies that had magic,and do you know what that magic is? HAND DRAWN ANIMATION!

  • Puh. Film's like this deserve everything! But at this stage Disney just rolled up these film-makers and shoved them in the drain. But now films like these could shove Disney were it belongs now; in the worst gutter in town. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • Watch your mouth Shrew. Talk like that could cause a panic!

  • the book is far way better

    

  • I am in the middle of the book and loving it, but to be honest, this looks overly dramatic.

  • I loved this when I was little although it kinda scared me, I still love it and now I'm 18. It gets my everytime... I always cry like a little baby at the end. So dark yet so beautiful movie, a masterpiece. I will definitely show this to my kids, movies like this cannot "die" !!!!

  • Anyone else find it funny hearing Dom Deluise's voice say, as Jeremy, that he's allergic to cats (at 1:32) when you're so used to him voicing Tiger in An American Tale?

  • @mikedb1492 My thoughts exactly XD

    Yes, very much so.

  • @mikedb1492 Dom Deluise did characters on a lot of Bluth movies. He also voiced Itchy, Charlie B Barkin's sidekick in All dog's go to heaven.

  • The best movie i've ever seen. It scared me quite a lot, but I still liked watching it :) Also all the shimmering effects and the lightnings. Aww, so well made.

  • The book is better :P

  • It's been so many years since I've seen this movie, but I still remember it to be one of my favorites. It was absolutely magical and breathless to watch.

  • ILLUMINATI

  • This has "originally a book" written all over it

  • @kgirl101333 i love the book

  • I think I remember this movie scaring the shit out of me.

  • a masterpiece!

    

  • and they dared to make a sequel...blasphemy

    is the crow's voice actor the same as the cat from an american tale

  • @supercyc10 and to top it off it was a musical v_v

  • Does the dvd version of the Secret of Nimh have a lot of violence edited out? Because if it does, I swear to god!!

  • th rats scared the shit out of me

  • This movie and Watership Down scared me- they told me not to watch the old classic version of Charlotts Web and still in over 15 years I havent seen it!

  • This might be the best animated movie ever, according to me (and my Mum:P)

  • I watched this movie at school, and it was a piece of shit movie, just like the book.

  • I don't mean to offend anyone, but I just saw this movie and found it a bit disappointing. I felt that the rats home and story wasn't very well gone into, and the end was kind of slurred and quickly done with the amulet. It seemed to show greater potential to me. Anyone care to share how they felt about the ending respectfully to me? Because I really feel they missed the mark a little with the ending, especially for a Don Bluth movie.

  • this movie used 2 scare the shit out of me

  • how dark is this film?

  • @supermariofan03 Just enough so that you understand Bluth was trying to tell you an honest story, instead of a morality lesson. The mice and rats feel like people, mostly, not like cardboard cutout stereotypes. Well, Jenner's more or less your typical mustache-twirling villain, but even he has his moments. Even Jeremy can be forgiven -- I actually found him rather endearing and a counter to some of the dark, brooding plot angles.

  • The Secret Of NIMH holds the very same power as the amulet it's self. It was forged from the heart and brings out the true courage and love to any soul that views it's passion and glimmer. It is rare and unique after looking upon it's glimmer and beauty, the viewers life is changed and rendered anew. May it's legacy live on for all of eternity.

  • I saw this when I was five or six. My first memorable animated feature. The genius of Don Bluth's movies is that unlike the Disney franchise, his animated films don't beat you over the head repeatedly with a sugar coated club of cuddley cuteness. Instead, they have a that touch of authentic tragedy which is more atuned to art imitating life. When I finally get kids, I'm including more Bluth and Miyazaki than Disney. Long live the hand drawn animated film. Forget the CGI nonsense.

  • Nostalgia overload, that was an amazing movie. I feel bad for kids today.

  • I LOVE(d) this movie as a kid and still enjoy it now!

  • Oh my God.. I think I barely remember this! I got chills during the whole trailer.

  • awesome

  • the music is soooo underrated, excellent fucking score by the legend Jerry Goldsmith!!!

  • Why can't they make animated movies like this anymore? All they make these days is ugly CGI films with fart jokes and pop culture references.

  • @Burtonnut totally agree with you!!!

  • @Burtonnut One reason: CGI is easier, therefore faster and cheaper. People should never misunderstand the vast majority of modern animated movies as being done in CGI for the art -- it's for the budget. With the massive increase in computing power, studios can now produce a 1 1/2 hour film in half or even a third of the time and money NIMH took. Everything in NIMH is hand-drawn and painted -- that is largely a lost art now, and costs a LOT of money. Money over art: sad but true.

  • @Burtonnut why can't you stop being a nostalgia whore?

  • @Burtonnut why can't you stop being a nostalgia whore? 0:23 ?

  • @Burtonnut Hey, don't insult Pixar like that. They make great movies. In fact, most of their stuff is in the style of Disney and Don Bluth. If you're thinking about the stuff DreamWorks makes, then I can understand.

  • @Burtonnut idd, I t a with you on that...

  • @Burtonnut Well they definitely aren't ugly as visuals, but indeed the story and atmosphere isnt the same as before

  • @Burtonnut you took the words right out of my mouth, animated movies (we call them films in the UK) had soul and heart then nowadays they are souless, heartless and empty trash.

  • @Burtonnut ya buth cgi is good some times buth good old animation is bether

  • @Burtonnut

    I chuckled a bit. Yes.

  • @Burtonnut What about brilliant movies by pixar? They are good.

  • @CrayonVlogger Good but not as good. I speak as a 20 year old and of the cgi generation lol

  • @Burtonnut That's all they know how to do nowadays..pop culture references..

  • I have no child in me.

  • omg. this isnt like the book. and its not Mrs. Brisby. Its Mrs. Frisby. This movie is based on the book called "Mrs. Frisby and the rats of NIMH"

    I read it. Thisis what the book is mainly about:

    Timothy is sick so Mrs. Frisby goes to Mr. Ages for medicine. She see's a crow named Jeremy. He flies her to the owl. She goes in the thorn bush and see's the rats. Nicodemus tells her about Nimh. The rats move her house. THE END

  • I havnt seen this movie in almost 2 decades how do i remember so much of whats in this trailer? I'm buying this movie tomorrow

  • Comment removed

  • @Theincredibleism this isn't Disney...

  • In love with this movie, but like others said: It's not really suitable for little kids. When I was young, I thought it was a rather scary movie. The trailer makes you think it's quite a happy movie though.

  • I haven't seen this movie in years. But I remember it so few parts, yet I remember them so vividly. I have occasionally thought of this film over the years, because it was my first animated film and stayed with me. I am so thankful that I have found it once more :)

  • Funny to say that i'm watching this right now XD and i used to think that Nicodemus was evil because of his appearance in the beginning but alas i can't judge a book by its cover. This is one of my greatest childhood films ever <3 Don Bluth .. your the best at making childhood dreams come alive

  • I just watched this for the first time last night. I can't say I love it, but it's definitely the best Don Bluth film I've seen yet. I DO love Mrs. Brisby, though. She's a well rounded character, very cute, and charmingly voiced. I'll be keeping the movie and re-watching it from time to time. It'll probably grow on me. And I agree with some of you. It is definitely NOT a G movie. At some points, I even thought it was a strong PG. I'm glad I didn't see this when I was little! lol!

  • Anyone to diss this film because it is a kid's film would be quite stupid= there is quite a horrific body count here!

  • Creo que en mexico le pusieron la ratoncita valienta, sin ninguna pena tengo que decir que llore en esta pelicula cuando era un niño.

  • I saw this movie with my girlfriend recently, and we both loved it. :)

  • what does this have to do with rechargeable batteries?!!?

  • seems like the robin hood movie, so cool :3

  • i,ve read the book and seen the movie

  • what about little nemo :(

  • @hotboysumer little nemo is scary as shit

  • This movie freaked me the fuck out as a kid

  • haha I kind of wished justin and mrs. brizby got together

  • @KreatuRRR me too

  • yeah this movie scared the shit out of me as a child it still does

  • Doesn't anyone remember the book?

    The one thing I didn't like about the movie was that the whole NIMH backstory was kind of glazed over. In the book it had 4 or 5 chapters to it. The movie gives it about 1 minute. Also the crow(can't remember his name) is a lot better in the book.

  • @timeparadox888 You're right, I missed the whole backstory thing. Also, the crow's name is Jeremy.

  • this movie scared the shit out of me when i was little. rated G my ass. the people who rated this should be sued. they have recently changed it to pg. I went from cinderella and barney to this film. no wonder i had night mares till i was 12!!!! NOT A KIDS MOVIE.

  • @247smashley Apparently the maker's didn't even want it to be rated G.  I don't know whose bright idea that was.

  • film confused me to much when i was younger

  • @wow3214 the movie is gr8, let's forget I said that

  • i'm here because of the Nostalgia Critic

  • @UltimateDumeandGwen yeah so?

  • 13 People Clearly wouldnt know a Beautifully made Animated Feature if it sat on there face's
