unlabelledView post →You wanna see an older animated film that imho is worth watching that’s not Disney? May I suggest for your viewing pleasure The Last Unicorn and The Secret of Nimh.
unlabelledView post →Here are some storyboards from The Secret of NIMH drawn by Don Bluth himself. I know he's gone on record and stated this is the film he's most proud of and I agree. It's still one of the finest animated films ever put to screen.
unlabelledView post →Don Bluth also did The Land Before Time, the movie about orphan baby dinosaurs and one scary T. Rex; and The Secret of NIMH, whose plot about a widowed mother trying to help her kid survive pneumonia will even traumatize the parents!
unlabelledView post →“Courage of the Heart is very Rate” Forever making Art inspired by The Secret Of NIMH animated movie
unlabelledView post →Hand painted Nicodemus from a childhood movie fav: The Secret of NIMH.
unlabelledView post →Share an ANIMATED movie title that begins with the letter “S” 🎥 S is for… ‘The Secret Of NIMH’ (1982) 🖤
unlabelledView post →I think a lot about the time I was told in a pitch “we aren’t interested in making cult classics” and it was laid out for me that if you put the movie Free Birds next to the Secret of Nimh, an executive would always rather make Free Birds, because Numbers This Quarter always beat enduring art.
unlabelledView post →I'd like to submit The Secret of NIMH and The Dark Crystal for inclusion in the traumatic childhood movie bracket. Between tiny mice drowning in their own home and draining the life force of scared little puppets, they both left a hell of a scorch mark.
unlabelledView post →I'm watching the Secret of NIMH for the first time ona Discord VC watch party. :b Don Bluth's first true film that earned him his name in the medium of animation. #nowwatching
unlabelledView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ Mrs Frisby & the Rats of Nimh (1971) by Robert O'Brien was adapted to film by Don Bluth as The Secret of Nimh (1982). The animated film adds tension, "magic" (as the book is science focused), & a simpler motive for the Rat society's desire for independence. 🐀🧪✨ #filmsky #booksky
unlabelledView post →Now watching THE SECRET OF NIMH (1982), an animated dark fantasy film in which a widowed mouse's quest to find medicine for her sick son leads to her encountering a colony of tunic-wearing rats. I was 9 when the film came out, but somehow this is my 1st time watching it. Directed by Don Bluth
unlabelledView post →I feel like already having seen stuff like Watership Down, The Dark Crystal and The Secret of Nimh preconditioned me as a child to accept the death, loss and destruction seen in the transformers movie.
unlabelledView post →Don Bluth's animated movie "The Secret of NIMH" premiered on July 2, 1982.
unlabelledView post →Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (and the movie adaptation The Secret of Nimh) starts off like any children's tale: talking animals, cozy cottages, and epic quests. But Robert C O'Brien's novel takes an unexpected science fiction twist...
unlabelledView post →The Secret of Nimh was the movie that prompted 5-year-old Jay to inform his religious parents that prayers and spells were pretty much the same thing. Lol, can’t imagine raising me..
unlabelledView post →THE SECRET OF NIMH WAS A GOTDAMN HORROR MOVIE!!!

unlabelledView post →Gf: can we watch a horror movie? Me: sure -puts on The Secret of NIMH-
unlabelledView post →The Secret of NIMH. (Absolutely terrifying, and I'd also had the book read to me and loved it and the movie is only in the loosest sense related to it.)
unlabelledView post →Drawn in 1993, 3 years before I discovered furry fandom! The movie "The Secret of NIMH" is the whole reason I'm here! Thanks to that movie, I have a lifelong love of animation and anthropomorphic animals! 😁 #FurryArt
unlabelledView post →First one that comes to mind is Nicodemus getting crushed to death by a giant cinder block in The Secret of NIMH. Although really that whole movie felt very traumatic.
unlabelledView post →Post a movie that starts with the word THE The Secret of NIMH 🖤
unlabelledView post →What is your favourite animated film? 🎥🖤 The Secret of Nimh, hands down.
unlabelledView post →I believe kids deserve great art, so adults coming in droves to unabashedly love AI slop is just sad. “It is a kids movie, so it can be absolutely garbage.” Spider-Man 2 is a kids film. The Secret of NIMH, Holes, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
unlabelledView post →Reading how scientists have created lab mice whose brains are filled with millions of human neurons and all I can think about is the 1980s film THE SECRET OF NIMH about the intelligent rodents who escape their lab anybody else remember that animated film?!

unlabelledView post →what film most reminds you of your childhood?✨ For me it’s “The Secret of NIMH,” “The Princess Bride” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie” I was a very lucky kid.
unlabelledView post →Right?!?! The Secret of Nimh...The Hobbit. The Transformers Movie....need I go on?!?
unlabelledView post →I keep trying to think of one, but the last film that scared me at all was The Secret of Nimh, and that was only scary because I was a small child at the time it came out - I don't think I've ever seen any truly scary film, and I say that as someone who watches quite a bit of horror
unlabelledView post →Name your fave film adaptation of a book. The Secret of NIMH
unlabelledView post →Today is Don Bluth's birthday, so I drew and coloured Mrs. Brisby in my style. She is one of the mice from The Secret of NIMH, a memorable animated film from 1982. No copyright infringement intended. #fanartfriday
unlabelledView post →I don't much remember it, but my mom was pretty freaked out by how scared I was by the Care Bears movie. There are scarier early 80s classics (The Last Unicorn, the Secret of NIMH) but I just loved them to pieces. assigned goth at birth I guess
unlabelledView post →A few days ago I watched The Secret of NIMH for the first time and I think it's the best animated movie I ever watched, too bad I haven't watched it when I was little, only All Dogs Go to Heaven.
unlabelledView post →THE SECRET OF NIMH might have been my first special interest, come to think on it; I watched the movie until the tape wore out, and read the book until the spine died
unlabelledView post →This Movie Monday is Don Bluth's 1982 animated action adventure classic The Secret of NIMH. #fantasy #film #review #mausritter open.spotify.com/episode/6HMr...
unlabelledView post →Watched THE SECRET OF NIMH the other night (I’m going through a lot of movies I haven’t watched since I was a kid). What a beautiful, weird movie. Scared the crap out of me as a kid … and for good reason!
unlabelledView post →28) What's your favorite movie? I got into art and drawing (and furry) because of "The Secret of NIMH"!
unlabelledView post →also to be fair to Tron: they pushed its release from christmas up to july to compete with ET, Star Trek II (Kahn), Blade Runner & Poltergeist, and the Secret of NIMH (the film they pushed to try and compete with).
unlabelledView post →Let's not jump to conclusions, he could have been referring to the 1982 animated film THE SECRET OF NIMH.
unlabelledView post →Fave film for each year of the 1980s 1980: Empire Strikes Back 1981: Excalibur 1982: The Secret of NIMH 1983: Wargames 1984: The Neverending Story 1985: The Goonies 1986: Labyrinth 1987: Moonstruck 1988: Who framed Roger rabbit 1989: Dead Poets Society this list was fucking hard 😞😫

unlabelledView post →Everyone’s talking about what film traumatized them as a kid but no one is mentioning THE SECRET OF NIMH because y’all are too traumatized to type it out
unlabelledView post →I contributed a video essay about motherhood to the Eureka Masters of Cinema Blu-ray for The Secret of NIMH, which is released today! Thanks @craigimann.bsky.social for bringing me on board. eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/the-se...
unlabelledView post →The Secret of NIMH is such a gorgeous and atmospheric film! Rewatched it recently and maaaan, Bluth and his team really made something genuinely beautiful! Also, Mrs. Brisby is one of the greatest mom characters in media ever. 💗
unlabelledView post →There is one thing that I believed when I was 5 that holds true to this day: The Secret of NIMH is the greatest animated film ever made.
unlabelledView post →On July 2, 1984, MGM released a film based on a book Robert C. O’ Brian that stood out from the rest. Directed by former Disney animators Don Bluth and co-written by Gary Goldman, this film was a testament to beautiful animation and incredible storytelling! The Secret of NIMH! #secretofnimh
unlabelledView post →Delighted to have contributed to this wonderful Blu-ray of Don Bluth’s The Secret of Nimh, released as part of Eureka’s Masters of Cinema series. Been a fan of the film for years. Nice to see it feeling the love. Also features contributions from @cinefeline.bsky.social & @drsamsummers.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →The Secret of NIMH [1982] Y'know what would be REALLY fucked up? If your first movie was an animated masterpiece that you would never live up to again. I think that would be scuffed beyond measure if you accidentally opened your independent career with an insurmountable classic of the medium.
unlabelledView post →The Secret of NIMH great owl scared tf out of me as a kid, and he's like the 12th scariest thing in that movie!
unlabelledView post →It’s…a horror movie? Did Willard, Ben, The Secret of NIMH or Ratatouille get this kind of hate? Sheesh.
unlabelledView post →The Secret of Nimh is such an amazing movie. I loved it so much as a kid and I still love it now.
unlabelledView post →I saw The Secret of NIMH eight times in the theater as a kid. Parts of it always scared me, but I loved it. And honestly, I think Mrs. Brisby was one earliest examples of a true hero to me. '82 was a great year to be a kid. The Dark Crystal was that year too, another 'traumatic' kids movie.
unlabelledView post →A friend of mine showed me “The Secret of NIMH” for the first time yesterday, which I thought was a charming film I’ve been missing out on, but also unintentionally a good Mother’s Day watch~ Also see the appeal in mouse centered stories more and more~
unlabelledView post →The Secret of Nimh is another film I've wanted to revisit for decades. And it's the second Wil Wheaton movie for my #Junesploitation so far.
unlabelledView post →The Secret of NIMH. A movie I was obsessed with even though The Great Owl freaked wee me out!
unlabelledView post →The Frisby name from the book was changed to Brisby in the 1982 Don Bluth animated film The Secret of NIMH to avoid a trademark lawsuit with Wham-O, the makers of Frisbees.
