I've just seen The Secret of NIMH with my family, and it's definitely family fare. If you liked the late Walt Disney productions before Walt died, then you will like this movie. A good story, superb animation, good use of color, and lively pace all keep your interest. I hated to see it end, and this seems to me to be one of the greatest compliments you can give a film of this type. The familiar voices of John Carradine and Dom Deluise are perfect choices to aid character development of the parts they play. The only criticism of the film I can offer is that, like Bambi, the storyteller is a little hard on people he sees as mistreating animals - in this case, laboratory experimenters. This is a relatively minor part of the film, however, and does not detract greatly from the whole. It should not deter you from taking your children to see it. Want a second opinion? -- My seventeen year old daughter said she liked it better that E.T. How about that? Charlie.
