We're back with the 80s classic The Secret of NIMH. The first feature from Don Bluth Studios(An American Tail, All Dogs Go To Heaven) it's the story of Mrs Brisby, a field mouse who must move her home before the farmer's tractor destroys it with the spring plowing. Her quest to save her family will lead her into uncovering her dead husband's secret past, and straight into the escaped lab rats from the mysterious NIMH. Full of dark beauty, betrayal, magic, murder, and sword fights it's hard to believe this got a G rating. Host Wyndham Jennings breaks down the story behind the film, the obstacles Bluth and company faced in getting it made and the continuing impact the film has on animation and pop culture today. So sit back and rediscover this almost forgotten masterpiece that dared to challenge Disney's monopoly on animated features, The Secret of NIMH.
