Another book I really enjoyed: "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH", the book that Don Bluth's "Secret of NIMH" is based on.

If you follow me for some time, you know that Secret of NIMH is among my favorite cartoons. Much later, just last year maybe, I actually read the book it is based on, and I was actually really happy that I liked the book, as well.

I still need to read the sequels, though!

It's still really strange and a pity to me, that the protagonist never got an official first name, and thus I approve of the movie fans deciding to name her Elizabeth, based on her voice actress in the movie, Elizabeth Hartman. Miss Hartman deserves it for her great work, and Brisby deserves not to be known just for her late husband.

I'm still a bit grumpy they decided to release a new disk right when I finally got the 1982 version, but ah well, now I got both, or, well, all three, as the new one contains the 2015 version which is an extended 1982 one, and the new, even more extended one, I assume. 😁

Anyway! Secret of NIMH soundtracks!

The new one actually has a relatively thick booklet with screenshots and comments, so, that's really nice.

I'm watching the "Secret of NIMH" audio commentary by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. It's really interesting to me to hear people who worked on movies tell stories about it, how stuff was realized or why specific decisions were made.

It also makes you several details you might miss in a normal viewing, like how shadows were used and why sometimes specific colors were used.

I like such stuff, I want more cartoon making-ofs. Non-cartoon, as well, but with animated stuff they also always have stories about the animation progress, that's cool!

Also, I have an excuse to post more Brisby screenshots! ♥️

No matter which scene, she's so beautiful and I love that chin fur. ♥️
Lucky Justin!

I wanted to watch "Shutter Island" today, but the disk seems to be faulty and thus I dared to finally watch: "The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue", the sequel to "Secret of NIMH", the movie, unrelated to the actual, second "Secret of NIMH" book.

It seems this movie is generally seen as very negative, especially by fans of the 1st movie.

I can understand that.
The movie certainly lacked the quality and the emotional depth of the 1st one.

Still, I wouldn't say it's horrible.
It's kinda half/half?

Good:
- It has cute songs
- Both Timmy and Jenny have fun and nice personalities and Jenny has a great voice actor
- General rescue mission is fine

Bad:
- What they made of NIMH
- How the antagonist was handled
- Technical quality
- Pacing

It seems the second "Secret of NIMH" movie is universally disliked.
I so still kinda want to watch it, and if it's only to understand and share everyone's dislike for it. 😅
