The Secret of Nimh.......2007-07-22

I purchased The Secret of Nimh one and two they were brandnew and unopen! They work perfectly and were shiped very fast!

Excellent animated movie.......2007-01-12

"The Secret of N.I.M.H." is an excellent adaptation of the book "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of N.I.M.H." Very good animation is combined with a story that only marginally diverges from the book (specifically, the book does not portray Brutus as such an inimical character, and Jenner does not make an appearance at all). The sequel "The Secret of N.I.M.H. 2" is, by comparison, only average. It completely divorces itself from the second book in the series ("Racso and the Rats of N.I.M.H.", a very good read in its own right). When compared to the first movie, both animation and story suffer. Nevertheless, it is not really painful to watch, even after viewing the first movie. I highly recommend this item, especially for the value, since "The Secret of N.I.M.H." alone costs about the same.

The Secret Of NIMH/The Secret of NIMH 2 (2 pack).......2006-07-25

I hadn't seen these movies for years and I thoroughly enjoyed watching both movies just as I did the first time I saw them. I thank you very much for the rapid response to my purchase. It is always a pleasure.

A huge letdown after the grandeur of Don Bluth's 1982 adaptation of Robert C. O'Brien's book (this was the first feature Bluth made after leaving Disney to protest the studio's allegedly lowered animation standards), this straight-to-video sequel offers far poorer art and thinner characterizations. The story finds Timmy (voiced by Ralph Macchio), son of the Jonathan Brisby character from The Secret of NIMH, leaving the family farm and heading to Thorn Valley, where the rats of NIMH live. There, Timmy seeks a path in his father's footprints to become a hero and meets a girl mouse who tells him her parents are among some NIMH mice wrongly presumed dead for years. A rescue ensues, of course, in which Timmy and the refugee rats risk getting caught themselves. The film is about an hour in length, and genuine entertainment is at a premium in this production, making it even harder to ignore point-by-point comparisons between NIMH 2 and its predecessor--especially when those comparisons, time and again, find the sequel wanting. The very best element here is the vocal and singing performance by Eric Idle as the villain, Martin, who resorts to electric shock to "improve" his intelligence and whose song, "Just Say Yes," is a real highlight. --Tom Keogh

What is this?!.......2007-06-24

It's basically expected you'll be given a bad movie when a sequel is made. There haven't been any decent sequels in the animation department save for "Toy Story 2" (my opinion of course), but I never knew that there would be a poster child for bad movies. And we have this rotgut junk, "Timmy to the Rescue." The animation is like a TV series based off of a Disney Movie that has been chopped about to fit your DVD. The mice are huge compared to the mice in the first movie, and there is no real plot to this that I found fun at all. The so-called twist in the end where Martin exposes himself to be the evil creature behind NIHM was poorly done at best, with songs that are so irritating, I immediately scrambled for the mute button.

There was one thing that annoyed me in watching this. Besides stupid characters, sub-par voice acting, and lame dialogue, is that the voices sometimes don't sync well with the lip movements. For instance, when Martin is talking to Timmy, his lips sometimes move after he is finished talking, and sometimes the lips stop before the sentence ends. Was the movie done in a different language first, then dubbed to suit the English-speaking audience, or was that another finger pointed at the producers for bad animation? So and so, I recommend that you don't see this movie. Don't even get it for your kids. This movie pales in comparison to the original in so many ways.

Timmy the mouse.......2007-03-11

An excellent story with many valuable moral lessons. It holds the childrens attention from start to finish. They have watched it over and over. A must see for children from 3 up.

Not like the First but good for kids.......2007-01-05

I agree with most of the people reviewing this movie that is is nothing compared to the original but, being a mother of young ones, I enjoy the fact that my kids can watch it and enjoy the music and entertainment. I rate it with 1 star for an adult film but 5 stars for a young childrens film. I personally enjoy the song sung by Timmy about not being like his father. This video may not be as moving as the first but it does have some lessons to teach.

Oh My Dear God........2006-12-14

Want a good laugh? Scan through these reviews and read all the ones with *five star* ratings. What is WRONG with these people?!? Don Bluth's original NIMH is (deservedly) an animation classic that doesn't underestimate the audience's intelligence and isn't afraid to engage a deeper sense of worldly honesty that most animated features won't touch with a ten foot pole.

The best that can be said for "Timmy To The Rescue" is... well... actually, nothing.

Everything about this shameful excuse of a sequel screams "lowest common denominator" which can be verified by the few positive reviews listed in here. MGM should be slapped (hard) for contributing to the dumbing down of the masses by pereptuating such inane, anemic garbage like this. Sadly, thanks to the WalMart inspired "git'r dun" dummified mentality of the poor souls who flock to and support such substandard drivel, those of us seeking intelligent and thought provoking entertaiment have to dig deeper.

Horrible.

Murder.......2006-08-07

It ruins the wounderful world of the first movie. Generic candy coated charicters who seem to think life is a musical for 6 year olds. A disapointment and a shame.
