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!

Longer review including some lighter spoilers:
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
[...]
I note the human farmers haven't noticed the rodent civilisation developing around them. The land should belong to the ascendant micropeople!
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. 😅
After several unsuccessful tries, due to not working international shipments, today I finally received the official soundtrack CD of Don Bluth's "The Secret of NIMH"!
More stuff for my Mrs Brisby / Frisby love! ♥️
