The Secret of NIMH

The Secret of NIMH (alternatively spelled "The Secret of N.I.M.H.") is an 1982 animated film adaptation of the Newbery-winning book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, written by American author Robert C. O'Brien. The title of the movie was later used for newer editions of the book. It was directed by Don Bluth, produced by Aurora Pictures, and released by United Artists. It had the tagline: Right before your eyes and beyond your wildest dreams.

Sequel

The film was followed up with ' (in 1998). This movie was made without Don Bluth's permission. This sequel is generally considered to be of poor animation quality and an equally poor treatment of the original characters. It also followed the animated cliché of being a musical, which the original film was praised for not following. (The Secret of NIMH has no musical numbers aside from background vocal in one scene and the credits.)
