I spent weeks getting flashbacks of some cartoon that I remember watching over and over as a kid but it wasn't until 5 minutes ago that the title came to me.
I've just watched it again and I have to say I am not dissapointed, suprisingly it lived up to my childhood memories. Props to the makers, I still love this even after 20 years.
oh yea i know another one. over the hedge. its about betrayal. the serious "are you really going to sacrifice others for your own pathetic and selfish purposes?" kind of betrayal.
agrees with nemmyladyzombie. this is a fantasy involving animals with their own voice. movies with anthros these days are usually some sort of joke that parallels the mundane parts of life and makes it all cutesy and fun. with nothing truely serious happening. that is not reality. movies should be like nimh and up and (i know one) finding nemo. they've forgotten why we like movies. btw where' pt 2.
Today kids movies are all happy and non-threatening at all. Theya re what this generation has midguidedly stereotyped what being a kid is like. Its wrong. Kids are subject to the worst horrors they'll ever had to face their whole lives; the fact that life isn't all candy and ice cream like they heard told in those bullshit bedtime stories. They have to face loss, fear, uncertainty, animocity and betrayal. Things that shape you as a person.
@NemmyLadyZombie You sir/m'am deserve a cookie. I whole heartedly agree with you there. I really despise most of the cartoons/movies these days they try to pass off as kids movies. The movies of the 90's, those were the classics, and im glad I grew up in such
@Mike190 Watership Down, The Rescuers, Secret of Nimh, those are violent and scary as fuck. But the scary parts only reinforce the good parts later on. Its called inflicting emotions in people. Its a good thing!
Allright, can u tell me which Disney or Pixar or Dreamworks animated film tells about sickness, death and dead husbands? If there is one, plz tell me.
Because comparing with those other movies, like Disney characters, sometimes have voices more humourus and juvenile. From the beginning of this film, the voices are more serious and authentic.
Movies like this are for everyone, not just kids. It takes a real master like Don Bluth to make a film like this. One of may favorite childhood films and still one of my all time favorites.
aww fucking Nostalgia Critic brings this movie up and I recall how much I loved it as a kid, still an amazing film, its even better now that I fully understand whats going on rofl - kids today have shit movies imo. This plus Iron Giant were epic animated films that I love.
@Khorne676 I agree, we managed to get the age where movie and shows were on top. Now there are moving and shows scraping the bottom being called "hurrhurr amazeng durp"
Anybody want to read memorable stories, just respond to me if you have any questions. I'm good at writing historical fiction outlines, but I don't have time to actually write them because of college and homework.
Oh I remember when I saw this while I visited a friend a LOOONG time ago, but I never understaood anything of what was happening x) But now I can see it again and understand and all xD Thanks so much for uploading =D
I was told to watch this; there's a website in the works called "The Secret of NIMH Source," and I wanted to know what the movie was about.
I have a vague impression of having seen it when I was a kid; I distinctly remember Mrs Brisby, if not by name. Since it's a Don Bluth movie, it's a wonder I don;t remember more. I grew up on his works.
Wow, I haven't watched this movie for over 15 years and just seeing that opening scene, watching those gnarled hands conjure that magical blinding ink, listening to that ancient, somehow terrifying, somehow fatherly voice....I could almost feel the wonder I had as a child. Thank you for uploading. That was a beautiful moment.
These types of movies are what I'm going to show my kids when I have them and none of the stuff that is shown today that people try to pass off as animated classics.
Films that make you laugh, cry, fill you with fear at certain parts, and then giving you those heart - filled moments.
serious goose bumps. I love the way it is drawn. especially the beginning.. and the low quality blurs it a little which I like... I remember seeing this partly as a kid... sooooo looking forward to it!
Does anyone notice the writing on the left side of Nicodemus's book? It starts out by saying Jenner has become cold hearted and then I can't read the rest because his hand is in the way.
@73Sk3tCh37 Yeah like this, Watership Down and is it Black dogs I think it is but anyway yeah. I'm glad I was born when I was I just about fucking scraped the bottom of the barrel of good music films and animation. Know i can tell what is good and not
@SpyroLUVA Yeah that's it. The scene where the dog jumps up on the man and accidently puts it's foot down on the trigger of the mans gun shooting him in the face. Imagine that on tv now
@73Sk3tCh37 This... And maybe that Black Cauldron movie are probably the darkest....? And you could just tell that during that Golden Age of Disney and such that movies like this were made for the kids AND the parents! LOVE!
@smartndumb101 tSoN 's 'not disney. but you're right. the black cauldron is awesome!
I don't know if it's that the ones today don't have nostalgia value or what, but they just don't have the right feel. then again, I only saw the black cauldron for the first time about a year ago, and I liked it.
I was lucky enough to work at Don Bluth and painted on this awesome movie, my sister, mom and some close friends are all in the credits...zerography, cel painters,
we got to go to like the premiere showing....it was all very exciting and I can claim the string scene, it kept flipping so gave it to me so all the colors flowed...anyway, I feel HIGHLY BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF IT and others the studio did.
i have the LP soundtrack to this movie. its really hard to find though... lol i even found a mistake on one of the track where it sounds like some one walked in wile there where performing.
This was a very enchanted cartoon when I was young and still today. You probably can find this movie on dvd in a Walmart great movie for the next generation!
lol i luv this movie!!!!!! i read the book like 32 times and saw the movie 74 times!!!!!!!!!! i was counting!!!!!!! it was such a good movie and book....in the book Issabella loves Justin!!!!!!!! lol Rat love!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's such a darn shame Don Bluth went out of business. They were way ahead in terms of quality. The movement and the backgrounds are gorgeous. They didn't cut corners.
Not really. Most animation studios reuse frames and animations. 3D studios often reuse squeletons. If the result is polished and elegant, it's not a discredit.
I simply love the animation of this, the movement and anatomy of how the main protagonist moves. Just like my recent beloved film Ratatouille, I adore how they keep that cartoon face of mouses and rats with the eyes higher to the the forehead as well with focusing on their walking habits. Excellent film!
Thanks so much for sharing this, it's a trip down memory lane for me 'cus back then I was working with Animation and I recall we got a visit from Don Bluth himself ;)
I read the book long before I saw the movie and I didn't like it. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM was so much better than this thing you call: "The Secret of NIHM." Nothing like the book, too weird.
MY favite part of these kind of animation that most of to day is lacking is the motion and body lengage. I mean when the talk they dont stand still or move just a bit of the head or arm. The whole bloody body move to express the mood. Watch with out sound and you can still get how they feel and practicle leep read.
hi.........pls upload if you can find and the greek version..........that movie is the best of all..//the music is the best o the best,...of cource jerry goldsmith is composed it!!!
I loved the movies that were made by these group of animators. Its so fluid and nice to watch. All dogs go to heaven is one of my favorites and it's dark like most of these. Back when it was ok to mention God and common phrases such as "bless you" Even Pegans use that. I hate how they've changed everything to please everyone. Cartoons are lacking so much these days. No passion anymore. Just dumb, obvious typical stories.
@ShadowVeranda *Pagans. And yes, I agree with your statement. Now people get offended if we say Merry Christmas, and some get upset if we say Happy Holidays. Why can't people just be tolerant!
@ShadowVeranda i totally agree, also, cartoons back then really had some nuance that made you feel the water as a character like a little mouse was trying to hide for the storm, and the tastes and feelings of objects were depicted so greatly. Yeah sure HD or 3-D movies to experience the movies, but those cartoons are my number one
@ShadowVeranda Amen. Everything these days is CGI and comedies. They're all comedies!!! Pisses me off! At some point in history, people have decided that the only emotion kids should experience is laughter. No more good stories, dark stories, memorable stories. Nope, just Steve Carrell, Chris Rock and Hannah Montana voiceover bullshit and zero story and sexual induendos purposely made to go over the kids' heads and hit the adults. Shameless. Fuck Shrek.
@SandBarAndYou Well seeing as you said CGI I don't know if you will agree with me or not but Pixar steal makes emotional and dark movies that have meaningful theme to them with a great story Its seem to bo the only animation company that cares about other things then just comedy but your opinion may vary.Other then Pixar I aggre that everything eles is stupid these day.
@ShadowVeranda That was well said bro. It seems as if everything that was made back in the old days is just better. Especially with the religion part. I personally think it is a disgrace to our Founding Fathers that we are not a religious people anymore. And we can all see the consequences. A bunch of lazy, inconsiderate, unpassionate bunch of people. In Hollyood at least
@JacksMagicBean *ahem* The founding fathers never based America on christianity. From what I've heard, most of them weren't even christian. They were Deists.
@BecauseICan34 I never said our founding fathers based this country on christianity. They based it off of religion period. IDC if you're a Muslim, or a Buddhist, or a Jew if we all have a religion and are all a religious people with moral values then we will overall be better/good people.
They all believed in God yes. Whether they were all christian I don't know but they did believe in religion and religious principles
@JacksMagicBean our country WAS founded on christianity. plain and simple. all of our laws are from the moral precepts of christianity and the 10 commandements. the others need to do some research anjd quit watching mtv and playing video games
@dgat213 Oh give me a fucking break. No one is trying to make this a race thing and that never even crossed my mind. I personally don't remember ANYTHING racist in any of the movies I mentioned in my post. Get the over it. No one was even talking about it.
@dgat213 Last night was wonderful. Sorry for laughing when you pulled your pants down. Did you get the money I left for you? I hope a full $20 works. I couldn't make change for $15 so maybe the extra $5 can buy you some creme for that rash on your balls. Call me!
@ShadowVeranda With the exception of Pixar, I completely agree with you. I remember when animation was both an adult's and child's medium for entertainment...now it's been repressed so much because of parents and the like that it's so childish, I've lost my interest...not to mention that I'm TIRED of deformed looking 3D animation...I missed the old fun 2D.
What I love about films like this one is they're not afraid to be dark and scary at times. Kids love to be scared! this was one of my favourite childhood films even though it gave me nightmares for days!
Then let me tell you something about the book and the movie: The story's been changed for the film version, science being replaced by freakin' magic! :(
i remeber watching this movie when i was a kid....and i couldnt understand half of wtf was going on XD *now i dont remember anything about it....so im geting 'refreshed' in it*
Actually, it was the story that got screwed up here. Don't get me wrong, this movie's got first-class animation and good acting, but I just resent that they replaced all the science with frickin' magic!
To be honest, I've never really been a fan of Don Bluth's movies, except for this movie and An American Tail. I respect him as an animator, but most of the stories of his works never really grabbed me.
This has to be my favorite of his, mostly because it isn't your typical, cutesy cartoon. And, I really liked Bluth's animation when he was still working for Disney.
His stories really grabbed my attention when I was a child, why? Because they were fun XD
But I can see your point, his first films as a director were so fantastic and wonderful with gorgeous animation, but then years go by and he falls for the cutesy things.
I hope he does a comeback but with excellent story telling, no cutesy things, well, not too cutesy to make one sick.
Yeah, Bluth pretty much blew it in the 90's. Though I remember kinda liking Rock-A-Doodle as a kid. His other movies were just awful compared to what he did in the 80's.
I recently saw the short he worked on in the 70's: Banjo the Woodpile Cat. It was one of the most cute and charming things he's ever done. It felt like a throwback to classic cartoons, but in Bluth's own way.
Guess I was wrong then about Brutus...its been awhile since I had to read it....it's pretty sweet knowing they still have it on the read list for English classes though. I better read it again eh? Still...Brutus is my fav.
In the book Brutus never spoke but was known to be one of the more dependable rats. He's there in the end...Justin throws a rope to him as he stands up on the swinging cider block. He was no coward and was all buisness. :)
God, I remember watching this when i was younger, it scared me, haha, especially the hands un the beginning, but, now, rewatching it, I am adoring the animation on Necudemus's hands, thos were beautifally animated, god, *sends chills down my spine*
Don Bluth films were amazing, I wish they were still around...
I spent weeks getting flashbacks of some cartoon that I remember watching over and over as a kid but it wasn't until 5 minutes ago that the title came to me.
I've just watched it again and I have to say I am not dissapointed, suprisingly it lived up to my childhood memories. Props to the makers, I still love this even after 20 years.

I read the book long before I saw the movie and I didn't like it. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM was so much better than this thing you call: "The Secret of NIHM." Nothing like the book, too weird.

MY favite part of these kind of animation that most of to day is lacking is the motion and body lengage. I mean when the talk they dont stand still or move just a bit of the head or arm. The whole bloody body move to express the mood. Watch with out sound and you can still get how they feel and practicle leep read.

I loved the movies that were made by these group of animators. Its so fluid and nice to watch. All dogs go to heaven is one of my favorites and it's dark like most of these. Back when it was ok to mention God and common phrases such as "bless you" Even Pegans use that. I hate how they've changed everything to please everyone. Cartoons are lacking so much these days. No passion anymore. Just dumb, obvious typical stories.

@ShadowVeranda *Pagans. And yes, I agree with your statement. Now people get offended if we say Merry Christmas, and some get upset if we say Happy Holidays. Why can't people just be tolerant!

@ShadowVeranda i totally agree, also, cartoons back then really had some nuance that made you feel the water as a character like a little mouse was trying to hide for the storm, and the tastes and feelings of objects were depicted so greatly. Yeah sure HD or 3-D movies to experience the movies, but those cartoons are my number one

@ShadowVeranda Amen. Everything these days is CGI and comedies. They're all comedies!!! Pisses me off! At some point in history, people have decided that the only emotion kids should experience is laughter. No more good stories, dark stories, memorable stories. Nope, just Steve Carrell, Chris Rock and Hannah Montana voiceover bullshit and zero story and sexual induendos purposely made to go over the kids' heads and hit the adults. Shameless. Fuck Shrek.

@SandBarAndYou Well seeing as you said CGI I don't know if you will agree with me or not but Pixar steal makes emotional and dark movies that have meaningful theme to them with a great story Its seem to bo the only animation company that cares about other things then just comedy but your opinion may vary.Other then Pixar I aggre that everything eles is stupid these day.

@ShadowVeranda That was well said bro. It seems as if everything that was made back in the old days is just better. Especially with the religion part. I personally think it is a disgrace to our Founding Fathers that we are not a religious people anymore. And we can all see the consequences. A bunch of lazy, inconsiderate, unpassionate bunch of people. In Hollyood at least

@JacksMagicBean *ahem* The founding fathers never based America on christianity. From what I've heard, most of them weren't even christian. They were Deists.

@BecauseICan34 I never said our founding fathers based this country on christianity. They based it off of religion period. IDC if you're a Muslim, or a Buddhist, or a Jew if we all have a religion and are all a religious people with moral values then we will overall be better/good people.
They all believed in God yes. Whether they were all christian I don't know but they did believe in religion and religious principles

@JacksMagicBean our country WAS founded on christianity. plain and simple. all of our laws are from the moral precepts of christianity and the 10 commandements. the others need to do some research anjd quit watching mtv and playing video games

@ShadowVeranda With the exception of Pixar, I completely agree with you. I remember when animation was both an adult's and child's medium for entertainment...now it's been repressed so much because of parents and the like that it's so childish, I've lost my interest...not to mention that I'm TIRED of deformed looking 3D animation...I missed the old fun 2D.

To be honest, I've never really been a fan of Don Bluth's movies, except for this movie and An American Tail. I respect him as an animator, but most of the stories of his works never really grabbed me.
This has to be my favorite of his, mostly because it isn't your typical, cutesy cartoon. And, I really liked Bluth's animation when he was still working for Disney.
SenshiMizaka 2 years ago
His stories really grabbed my attention when I was a child, why? Because they were fun XD
But I can see your point, his first films as a director were so fantastic and wonderful with gorgeous animation, but then years go by and he falls for the cutesy things.
I hope he does a comeback but with excellent story telling, no cutesy things, well, not too cutesy to make one sick.
Gutslove 2 years ago
Yeah, Bluth pretty much blew it in the 90's. Though I remember kinda liking Rock-A-Doodle as a kid. His other movies were just awful compared to what he did in the 80's.
I recently saw the short he worked on in the 70's: Banjo the Woodpile Cat. It was one of the most cute and charming things he's ever done. It felt like a throwback to classic cartoons, but in Bluth's own way.
