I'm going to watch The Secret of NIMH right now. It's been about 25 years!

Enjoy it!

The franchises I get nerdy about are so obscure that not even most nerds know about them.

Thanks, I did! My memory is sketchy but wasn't there a lot more in the book about the rats being at NIMH and getting smart and stuff? That was the most interesting part. I enjoyed the animation more than the movie itself, but I'll give it 6/10.

Watching it reminded me of another animated movie I saw at roughly the same age - Watership Down. That was one of the most intense animated stories I've seen (that is regarded as suitable for children), though that Bright Eyes song has always annoyed me.

They cut out everything after the escape from NIMH, too.  They also cut out the library scene where Isabella is introduced.  It'd be cool if a Secret of NIMH 3 introduced Isabella...

Well, now I'm going to have to watch Watership Down someday....

I recently read a rumor that there will be a Live Action/CGI remake of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.  I looked it up on IMDB, and it's definitely there: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1482456/.

My reaction?  Take it away, Justin!

Damn!

If my idea for a Secret of NIMH 3 had any sort of a chance, this obliterates it.

Hmmmm....Pennsylvania Jones joins a Star Wars site.  What do YOU think he is obsessed with?  The bloody rats of NIMH!

 

 

I think it's cool too.  Just teasing you.  You obviously really enjoy it.

Let me explain how I work.  Whenever there's a movie or movie franchise that I'm into, I'm usually obsessed with it for months!  Then, eventually, I temporarily lose interest and become obsessed over something else.  Like a fad, except I still like everything I'm obsessed with even after I'm done obsessing.  For example, I made my avatar when I was obsessed with Scamper the Penguin.

BTW, the Secret of NIMH Videos I'm editing do involve Star Wars. ;)
