087 The Secret of NIMH - Too Many "J" Names

All good things must come to a close--it's the final film in the Rotoscopers' Mice & Rats podcast series, Don Bluth's debut film The Secret of NIMH.

Highlights Nerdy Couch Discussion: Main Discussion: The Secret of NIMH (1982) Shout out to to the fan-made trailer by ELO1138. The staples of a Don Bluth film: dazzle, Dom Deluise, and knobbly hands. The opening: one of the best writing in any of Bluth's film. Why do we love Mrs. Brisby? Classic movie trope: fear of flying. The drama with Mrs. Frisby and Frisbee. The owl and Nicodemus have elements of the same character. Jenner: is he a good villain? The amulet and its powers aren't quite explained. The scientific elements make sense; the mystical, not so much.

We rate it!
