#MGM #TheSecretofNimh
I miss real animation like this. Don Bluths movies were my favorite growing up.
Making movies like this or Pinocchio is extremely time consuming and expensive. Modern production companies don't see it as worth the effort and the gamble at the box office.
@@chrisredfield3607, that’s just an excuse they give out their computer animation can take just as long especially if it has a lot of detail. I’d go watch another Don Bluth Feature Length Animation.
@@chrisredfield3607 that’s what Disney were saying in the 70s, yet Bluth proved them wrong with “the secret of NIMH”. Forcing them to put effort in there own game (animation), and creating the Renaissance of the 90’s. CGI takes as much time if not more than 2D animation, and as much expensive as 2D animation. It’s just easier to do. In other words (laziness) is the modern standard of today.
@@M.H.S608 Disney already did an experiment on this in 2009 and 2010. Tangled made way more money than Princess and the Frog and was less stressful to produce.
@@bigchillphil I would too, but after Princess and the Frog underperformed no Western company wants to take the risk. Japan still makes 2d animation for you to enjoy.
Time may move on.....but this film will stand the test of it....approaching 2024......still one of the best
I had this movie on VHS tape when I was a kid. Loved it so much, it was and it is still so different from other animated movies. I loved it so much
All Dogs Go To Heaven & The Secret Of Nimh Are The Best MGM Childhood Movie I Watch Since Late 2008.
Balto
A childhood favorite of mine, & it still holds up! Great story telling, characters, & animation!!💜💜💜
This will forever be my favorite animated film of all time. I even have a framed original print of the movie poster.
So cool!!
Incredible magical haunting movie with nightmarish imagery and beautiful mystifying sparkles ✨️
Was an absolute fave of mine when I was a kid, still holds a place in my heart.
This movie brings out of all the emotions. I have always loved Don Bluth’s style of animation.
Never see one like this again
@@Caltops78me too
I have always loved this film. 🖤
Ugh, I miss the 80ties and their darker fantasy films/series.
Plus no bloody musical!
Aha you're OLD
This movie scared me as a kid yet I would watch it on repeat. I can’t explain why
I was too
I think kids get addicted to the adrenaline of being scared. We took our kids to Disney recently and I couldn’t believe how even the most simple rides would have truly spooky stuff going on for a 6 year old
The Secret Of Nimh (1982) Watership Down (1978), The Hobbit animated movie (1977), Heavy Metal (1981) American Pop (1981) Fire and Ice (1983) The Incredible Mr. Limpet (1964) The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (1979) An American Tail (1986) and The Land Before Time (1988) are one of my all time favorites.
those are some great classics buddy!
This animated film is beautiful of the 80s
There will never again be films like this... That in itself is cause for mourn. 😭
Studio Ghibli would like a word...
One of the greatest Animated Movies ever made!
Yes still my favorite.
And the MAIN REASON I hate computer animated movies now. "Hand drawn" captured the character's essence.
Me and my class read this book
And my all time favorite animated film
Will there ever be a sequel or a remake
I hope Don Bluth does come back. We need another Dragon’s Lair game.
Truly an amazing film. A gem
One of the all time greatest animated classic, I loved put it up there with another favorite movie by Don Bluth "Anastasia".
Watership down and this both fantastic! We were so lucky to been a kid in the 80s what happened to making movies like this!
Don Bluth‘s movies are amazing! I can see why he was so frustrated with Disney.
NIMH= National Institute for Mental Health. The movie is about the rodents trying to escape the rat utopia researcher John B. Calhoun had set up as an experiment.
I always thought of the nickel metal hydrate battery. 😝
Jeremy the Crow is my favorite character of The Secret of NIMH.
I Watched It When I Was A Kid But I Still Like This Movie With My Mom 🥰🤘🏽 IMAGINE THAT BAY BAY
A decent blu-ray remaster of this masterpiece should be released
the first animated movie to make me cry...thanks in part to Jerry Goldsmith's score.
this is one of those movies that stays with you forever. Its still one of my favorite movies of all time.
Truly, one of most Beautiful, frightening, and wondrous animations I have seen.
One of my childhood favorites. Amazing story
Best Don Bleuth movie ever. Yes, even better than the first Land Before Time.
O my gosh ! Such nostalgia!!!! I clearly remember this and back then wow childhood was hard and hard life it was! But this cartoon inspired me so much!
Same for me, all of this 🥺
Why don't animated movies be like this anymore?
Most of those animators of that style probably died.
@@palmshoot It can be recreated
@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 With what kind of budget? How many films in the last 10 years exhibited this style?
@palmshoot I think that is exactly his point. No one is doing this style of animation anymore but they should.
Our beloved and wonderful Don Bluth movie ever made in 1980s!
Old is gold 😢❤
I still have so many memories of this movie decades later. I was born in '81 but saw this when I was a kid on VHS many times.
I totally forgot about this movie. Loved it growing up
this was one of my childhood favorite movies.
Yesterday morning, on Sunday 5.11. 2023,
I dropped by at a flea market in
Myyrmäki, Vantaa (Finland 🇫🇮)
and bought this legendary Don Bluth movie
on a finnish 🇫🇮 VHS tape 😺👍.
Amazingly, even thought this is an animated movie for children,
this tape does not have dubbed finnish 🇫🇮 speech language.
It has the original english 🇬🇧🇺🇲 speech audio,
with the finnish 🇫🇮 subtitles.
I saw this movie for the first time as
a kid on a finnish 🇫🇮 TV channel back in the early 1990's.
Don Bluth (DRAGON'S LAIR, SPACE ACE) is a legendary animator 😺👍.
Watched most of this movie with my late grandmother back when she was alive. It was great.
Sadly, I did not really see The Secret of NIMH until I was an adult. I'm glad I eventually got around to doing so. While it isn't perfect, it is Don Bluth's best film. My childhood favorite Don Bluth movie was All Dogs Go to Heaven.
It would have been more scarier to watch if your still a kid
I was only a year old when this movie came out! It is still one of my favorites 😍 Don Bluth is awesome
Ahaaa you OLD like the owl!!
@@Eet_Mia i'm 29 big dawg.
in my 3rd grade class, I read this book and for the project, did a dnd style map of the yard. Amazing book as well
Happy 40th anniversary to The Secret of NIMH.
Man, I used to looove this :) Watched it again and it’s still fantastic - less Scary now that I’m all grown up ;)
Great, great movie
I miss these kind of movies 💚
I just got done watching this again I love this movie so much... I was 1 year old when this came out
my most favourite Don Bluth movie
I was 10 when this movie came out, still one of my top favorites. 🥰
Beautiful film. Only saw it for the 1st time a few days ago
i've been trying to find this movie for years , it was jus a small memory in the back of my head that would randomly come back but whenever i talked about no one knew what i was talking about, i was starting to the it was like a fever dreams 😂
I need to rewatch that movie when I can! Such a childhood memory.
Released thru United Artists, An MGM Company.
Same with raging bull
The Secret of NIHM turns 40!
Don Bluth's first great success in animation; began his animation career working on Disney’s Sleeping Beauty before leaving the industry for a ten year period to serve on a mission in Argentina and complete his college degree
He then returned to the field doing layout animations for Filmation
Apparently he and fellow animators Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy, left Disney because they felt the production process was deteriorating and the studio had little respect for the quality of their artistry
Eleven more animators would leave the House of Mouse the next day
Bluth later stated he did not like working in a corporate structure where decisions were dictated according to profit and loss
Yet in the end Bluth founded his own independent animation studio Don Bluth Productions and the Secret of NIHM succeeded with critics despite getting lost in the summer lineup with E.T.
Highly original, magical, and memorable characters
Great themes of courage and parents anxiety, treating the unknown, having a moral responsibility when it comes to knowledge and resources, the effects of evolving and seeing the limitations, and most of all the exploration of the nation’s growing anxiety over unethical medical and scientific practices as seen through the backstory of the rats who were experimented on by NIMH, aka the National Institute of Mental Health
It was actually inspired by the real experiments conducted by John B. Calhoun at the institute in the 1940s and 1950s
Felt like a dark 1940s film from early Disney days
This was also the first collaboration of the late Dom Deluise
Had no clue it was adapted from the 1971 Newbery Medal-winning children’s novel by Robert C. O’Brien
Thankfully Steven Speilberg collaborated afterwards with Bluth for An American Tail and also been working on a memoir, which is slated for release later this summer
His UA-cam channel is full of behind the scenes extras hoping to restart a new wave of animation
Absolute masterpiece. Crazy to think it's just about a bunch of drugged-up rodents that just want to prevent one of their houses from being plowed over
Don Bluth's greatest animated picture!
Secret of nimh, watership down and fire and ice are my childhood trauma cartoons
I want to add the last unicorn...
I grew up with this movie but never knew it was early 80s
I had heard the name of this or maybe the book for years, but I only watched it for the first time yesterday, in adulthood. My childhood was robbed.
Very unfortunate they don't animate anything anymore, especially top notch animation like Don Bluth did, this movie is so good even if you are an adult.
You know, I’ve never seen this whole thing. Found some off brand on it and figured it’s time to find out what it’s about
Real animation with art, passion, and style. This IS ART
The film rights to the book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH had reportedly been offered to Walt Disney Productions in 1972, but they were turned down.
The Secret of NIMH was the first feature film to be directed by Don Bluth. On September 13, 1979, Bluth, fellow animators Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy and eight other animation staff left the feature animation department at Disney to set up their own independent studio, Don Bluth Productions. The studio worked, at first, out of Bluth's house and garage, but moved to a two-story, 5,500-square-foot (510 m2) facility in Studio City, California, several months later. While they were still working at Disney, they produced the 27-minute short film Banjo the Woodpile Cat as a side project to gain other production skills that the company and their animation program were not addressing. Bluth asked Ron W. Miller, Walt Disney's son-in-law and the president and CEO of the company at the time, to view Banjo, but Miller declined. As Goldman recalled, "that pulled the enthusiasm rug out from under us. We had hoped that the studio might like what we were doing and agree to buy the film and allow us to finish the short film in the studio, which would allow us to recoup what we had spent in terms of money and the many hours that we and the other members of the team had invested in the film".
Before they started making Banjo, artist and story writer Ken Anderson had been getting into Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, which he called "a wonderful story". He gave the book to Bluth for him to read and make a film out of after Bluth finished the animation direction of Pete's Dragon. Bluth later showed NIMH to Disney animation director Wolfgang Reitherman, who turned down Bluth's offers to make a movie based on the book: "We've already got a mouse [named Mickey Mouse] and we've done a mouse movie [called The Rescuers]". However, Bluth also presented the novel to the other staff that would work for Don Bluth Productions later on and they all loved it. Two months later, former Disney executive James L. Stewart, who now had started Aurora Productions, called Goldman and told him about Anderson's idea of making a film based on NIMH. At Bluth, Goldman and Pomeroy's request, Aurora Productions acquired the film rights and offered Don Bluth Productions a budget of US$5.7 million and 30 months to complete the film, tighter in both budget and schedule than most Disney animated features at the time
Thx for the history lessons
My god! I loved this so much as a kid! I'm about to purchase the novel via Kindle (I'm 37 years of age 😂)
Such a classic!
As much as I love this film, BOY was it 80's G
my sister used to watch this all the time, was and still is a good film.
And a gorgeous theme song by Paul Williams!
As a kid I thought this was made in 1992 not 1982. Well animated classic
Bluth animation was uniquely beautiful 🥹
I remember watching "The Secret of NIMH" in secondary school but I can't remember what year tho because I learnt about "Mrs Frisbee and the Rats of NIMH" in English. :)
2024 R.I.P. Shannen Doherty who voiced Mrs. Brisby’s older daughter Theresa.
Best film from the 1980s
Instant classic of anination. Don Bluth >>>> Disney
No, but they are both better than most things produced today. Plus, Bluth's bad pictures are even more saccharine than Disney's excesses imo.
All this time, I never knew that NIMH means national institute for mental health.
I from series Archive 81
They don't make them like this anymore
I love and still watch this film!
R.I.P. Dom DELUISE
I love this cartoon
Happy 40th Anniversary!
With Balto probably the best animated movie ever
This came out soon after watership down, and around the same time as the release of plague dogs.
The secret of Nickel Metal Hydrate battery is good movie.
Amazon should make a Prime Original based on this movie.
Or for HBO Max since WB got a deal with MGM
@@ScroogeKamaziMD Amazon owns MGM so I don’t think that’ll be happening anytime soon
Best animated movie ever.
Never seen it, might have to medicate, get in touch with my childhood and give it a watch
Here in 2024 after being brought up watching it
This animation aged like fine wine
Anything Bluth put his hands on was gold. (SPACE ACE, DRAGONS LAIR) and when Jenner became my role model after VADER and this film is why I hate computer animated movies.
The best don bluth movie next to the land before time 1988
It and its sequel are great
It's funny. While I thoroughly enjoy this film, I rank it below other Don Bluth films like All Dogs Go to Heaven, The Land Before Time, An American Tail, and Anastasia.
It diverges quite a bit from the original Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH novel, which was strictly a hard science-fiction children's book with the only fantasy element being that the animals are anthropomorphic enough to at least speak to each other (humans cannot understand them) and the rats developed enough intelligence to read, write, and use human technology.
Maybe there should be a follow up story where they bring Jonathan back.
How I was afraid of the spider that was killed by the even scarier owl :)...but I still hate the laboratory injection part.
I love this movie
National. Institute . Of . Mental .health
Nimh.
god i love this movie dude
RIP Shannon Doherty
From the director of An American Tail
This ruined my childhood 😂😂😂 23 yo, but traumatized since my 6.
