A huge letdown after the grandeur of Don Bluth's 1982 adaptation of Robert C. O'Brien's book (this was the first feature Bluth made after leaving Disney to protest the studio's allegedly lowered anima...( read more  read more... )tion standards), this straight-to-video sequel offers far poorer art and thinner characterizations. The story finds Timmy (voiced by Ralph Macchio), son of the Jonathan Brisby character from The Secret of NIMH, leaving the family farm and heading to Thorn Valley, where the rats of NIMH live. There, Timmy seeks a path in his father's footprints to become a hero and meets a girl mouse who tells him her parents are among some NIMH mice wrongly presumed dead for years. A rescue ensues, of course, in which Timmy and the refugee rats risk getting caught themselves. The film is about an hour in length, and genuine entertainment is at a premium in this production, making it even harder to ignore point-by-point comparisons between NIMH 2 and its predecessor--especially when those comparisons, time and again, find the sequel wanting. The very best element here is the vocal and singing performance by Eric Idle as the villain, Martin, who resorts to electric shock to "improve" his intelligence and whose song, "Just Say Yes," is a real highlight. --Tom Keogh

    Great Movie. I Love The Song ''Just Say Yes''. This Movie Does Have It's Scary Monents Like In The First Movie.

    Though I Always Wish That Movie Sequels Would Be As Great As The First Movie.

    This Movie Has Some Sprinkles Of The First Movie Here And There.

    Overall, This...( read more) Movie Is Great For Fans Of Animated Musicals (Like The ''American Tail'' Movies).

    The Most Reason I Liked This Movie Is Because Timmy Was My Favorite Charecter In The First ''Secret Of NIMH'' Movie. And Having Him Being The Main Charecter In The Second Movie Is Like A Dream Come True.

    I Also Love Seeing Timmy Having A Love Intrest In The Movie, That Was Cute.
