Thumbnail Review:    An excellent family film-- Four and a half stars.


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?
