Don Bluth’s THE SECRET OF NIMH
(PG, 1982, 82 min)
"Right before your eyes and beyond your wildest dreams." From Don Bluth, the visionary behind An American Tail and The Land Before Time, comes an animated adventure with real danger and thrills. Mrs. Brisby, a brave field mouse, must save her sick son from a deadly fate — but the world she enters is full of shadows, danger, and secrets. From the hidden, high-tech society of super-intelligent rats to predatory cats, treacherous traps, and life-or-death choices at every turn, this isn’t your average kids’ movie. Gothic, suspenseful, and visually stunning, The Secret of NIMH is part fairy tale, part pulse-pounding thriller. It’s a film that scared and thrilled a generation, and still grips audiences today — dark, beautiful, and unforgettable.
