The Secret of NIMH (1982)

Not As Bad As IThought I'd Be...
Not nearly as good as it's original Secret of NIMH. It's like watching saturday morning cartoons, really. I suppose everything seems a bit logically in place, but I don't know. This isn't a good sequel; not that I expected it to be what with the reviews. I was still curious and had to give it a watch. If you have a vhs player, it might not hurt to spend but a few cents. If not, don't bother I can't imagine they'd waste dvd printing on -this-

What is this?!
It's basically expected you'll be given a bad movie when a sequel is made. There haven't been any decent sequels in the animation department save for "Toy Story 2" (my opinion of course), but I never knew that there would be a poster child for bad movies. And we have this rotgut junk, "Timmy to the Rescue." The animation is like a TV series based off of a Disney Movie that has been chopped about to fit your DVD. The mice are huge compared to the mice in the first movie, and there is no real plot to this that I found fun at all. The so-called twist in the end where Martin exposes himself to be the evil creature behind NIHM was poorly done at best, with songs that are so irritating, I immediately scrambled for the mute button.

There was one thing that annoyed me in watching this. Besides stupid characters, sub-par voice acting, and lame dialogue, is that the voices sometimes don't sync well with the lip movements. For instance, when Martin is talking to Timmy, his lips sometimes move after he is finished talking, and sometimes the lips stop before the sentence ends. Was the movie done in a different language first, then dubbed to suit the English-speaking audience, or was that another finger pointed at the producers for bad animation? So and so, I recommend that you don't see this movie. Don't even get it for your kids. This movie pales in comparison to the original in so many ways.
