Fun, drama and suspense come vividly to life in this enchanting animated fantasy, based on Robert O'Brien's award-winning tale of a timid mouse who becomes a heroine in spite of herself with the help of super-intelligent experimental rats from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
A widowed field mouse must move her family -- including an ailing son -- to escape a farmer's plow. Aided by a crow and a pack of superintelligent, escaped lab rats, the brave mother struggles to transplant her home to firmer ground.

Don Bluth's absolute bestThis film has great animation, a great story and a great cast of characters to care about. The only problem I have is that this film has many dark and violent scenes, which is why I think this film should be rated PG. However, it's rated G. But I digress. This movie is one that everybody should see..Score: 5/5
Good Movie, Better BookThis is a wonderful children's tale! A couple years ago, my Language Arts class read the book and watched the movie. We all loved it. I highly recommend this movie. If you enjoy the movie, I also suggest you read the book, "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.".Score: 4/5
Wonderful Movie for Young and Old AlikeLike many of you here, I saw this movie as a child, and I have a fondness for this film partially thanks to that. :) It was also one of my favorite books, and, for the most part, the story stays relatively close to that of the book, excluding the character of Nicodemus, and Mrs Frisby has been renamed Mrs Brisby. I recommend this to parents (or big kids) who were young in the 1980's, and to children...though probably over the age of 6. I was only 4 or so when I saw this, and I remember being afraid of the NIMH scenes, the great owl, and Brutus (the rat who attacks Mrs Brisby) for a few nights after seeing this. Most children will find this exciting, and I feel most parents would find the story line both entertaining, and engaging. As an added bonus (go ahead and hate me, kiddos,) some teachers might have older students (10+) read the book, and then show the movie as a movie day. Its a wonderful film, and one of my favorites of all time. Don Bluth's best, in my humble opinion..Score: 5/5

A Timeless Classic, Great Story, Visually Stunning...Don Bluth, Gary Goldman, John Pomeroy and Jerry Goldsmith really outdid themselves in the film. I highly recommend this for children and adults alike. Even 28 years later, it still holds as being a great artistic masterpiece!.Score: 5/5
Love this movie!!I watched this understandably well loved movie last week! I instantly feel in love with this film! I loved the atmosphere, the animation, the music, the characters, the story and the direction that the movie has! The characters felt like actual living beings who go through real dilemmas and I will share this with my future children.Score: 5/5

35 years old and I still watch it all the timeI saw this in the theater when i was 8. This remains to be one of my all time favorites. When she says to her children. "soon now" once she realized that they wont be able to move the home, are you kidding me? I still tear up. The great owl scene is so intense. Don Bluth, youre an amazing artist..Score: 5/5

Pretty disappointingOur 3 year old daughter only saw the first 20 minutes or so, and it's a good thing. There are a few funny scenes towards the beginning of the movie with the crow and the mice (the children), but the movie is overall very disappointing. As an adult I didn't find the story interesting at all, and the young children might be scared or lost by most of it. The animations were probably good for the 80's (the mice especially reminded me of the excellent work on Robin Hood), but they have significantly aged. My first rental on iTunes store was overall pretty disappointing. Fortunately, there are lots of other children movies to rent..Score: 2/5
Gorgeous, Sweet, and Memorable. But The Story Begs For More To HappenThe Secret Of NIMH provides impressive animation from Don Bluth and a well written story with well written characters. In the end, I still remember the occurring events that took place in the movie, I don't have any regrets with buying this. I was disappointed in the story for not trying to explore more into the events that happen, and it does not add any more. But honstly, this is a beautiful and powerful story that involves mice. I highly reccomend it. (Rating 4.5 stars).Score: 4/5
