Secret of NIMH, TheDissatisfied with falling standards from Disney animation, a group of key personnel set up in opposition and this animal fantasy was their first feature, co-written and directed by Bluth, who went on to major success. Imposing talent has been rounded up to provide the voices, and every ounce of their ability is needed to make something of the verbal material. However, there is compensation in the visuals, which are superior to the plot. This tells of a widowed mouse who turns to escaped rats (from a science laboratory) to help her and her family. Lovers of animation shouldn't have too much trouble getting the kids to take them along.
