Watch The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue For Free

Just what I expected

Excellent but underrated film

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

How the Nimh 2 movie was different than the Nimh 2 book.I can remember when there was the first Nimh book which didn't have any swearing but the 1983 Secret of Nimh Don Bluth movie adaption had some PG Bible swear words like God and Damned which upset me and the four letter word would also be in Jane Leslie Conlys 3rd book "R-T, Margaret, and the Rats of NIMH 1990" which I was shocked and surprised that Jane Leslie Conly would slip in a few PG swear words like Damned in the 3rd Nimh book since she considers swearing normal.Anyways about this 1998 movie Secret of Nimh 2: Timmy to the rescue as you know is completely different from Jane Leslie Conlys second book "Rasco and the Rats of NIMH 1988" The book had Timmy walking all the way to Thorn Valley with his new rat friend Rasco. Nicodemus is alive and well in the book and so is Rascos father Jenner but killed himself in the end to break the dam. and they're trying to prevent humans from building a new dam.The movie didn't have Rasco and they already killed off Nicodemus and Jenner. There are new characters not in the book like the 2 mean cats Muriel and Floyd. Jenny McBride the girl mouse. There's also 2 humans Dr. Valentine and his scientist assistant. There's also a caterpillar named Cecil.This movie's about a mouse named Timmy who goes to Thorn Valley and meets his new girlfriend mouse Jenny and together they fly over to the city at a mad scientist lab to save his insane mental ill brother Martin and stop the Invasion of Thorn Valley.My thoughts about this movie is yes the mice are half naked wearing shirts but no pants or shoes so you can see their furry bottoms which I find silly. Even though this was better and happier than the dark PG movie Nimh 1 I was disappointed they completely changed the book similar to Disneys 1985 "The Black Cauldron" movie.Anyways I wonder what Jane Leslie Conly thought when she saw this movie and I wonder if she told MGM no more movie adaptations. Anyways the story and music was fun and entertaining even if it was completely different from the book. I feel sorry for Paul Sabella and the MGM people who worked hard at the movie and I'm sorry Robert C. O Briens book has been altered by Hollywood people.

I LOVED Secret of Nimh as a child. To this day, it is one of my all-time favorite films. But we live in dark times, ladies and gentlemen...times in which the money-hungry LOOK for ways to burn and destroy our precious childhood treasures. Thus is the legacy of the horrid Nimh 2, a cheap, laughable disgrace of a sequel. Let's play a game, shall we? We'll call it "Spot what is totally Irreverent to the first film". 1. Nicodemus NEVER made a prophecy about a Brisby son saving everyone. 2. The Thorn valley rats look NOTHING like their original counterparts. 3. WHY DO THE RATS FREAKING WORSHIP JONATHAN BRISBY?! WHEN WAS THAT EVER EXPRESSED IN THE FIRST FILM?!? I could go on all day, but I don't think that's necessary. The movie sucks the big one, end of story. The characters are flat, the voice acting is atrocious, and the story should have been put to sleep. Bottom line-it's just flat-out horrible. Yes, I suppose that it would entertain your kid for a while (though it also might ruin any semblance of intelligence they might have), but it just reeks of utter FAIL as a sequel to one of the most complex and beautifully-animated films of all time. So take my advice and stay FAR AWAY from this cartoonish nightmare. Go watch the original Nimh instead. It's worth every second of your time, unlike it's miserable neutered dog of a sequel.

The original Secret of NIMH was by far, one of the greatest animated movies of all time. Not only did kids enjoy it, but adults (like myself) too. It was Don Bluth's opus, and it was a dark epic tale. I loved it so much, that I wanted to find a career in animation because of that movie, as well as other films I watched in my childhood.But this...This, on the other hand, is the opposite. Thank God Don Bluth had nothing to do with this. The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue, is by far, one of the WORST films I've ever seen in my entire life. In fact, it's the worst movie I've ever seen, period. Even the cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000 can't make this better, 'cause I don't think they would do it. The animation sucks, the voice acting is just laughable, the main villain, Martin, is just as hilariously bad as the villain in Warriors of Virtue, and overall, the film is a complete joke. MGM even had the balls to make this into a MUSICAL, of all things. Plus, they had to sugarcoat the original premise of the story, and make it more...ahem..."kid-friendly". No offense guys, but if you plan to sugarcoat the premise just to appeal to kids too young to realize that this movie is pure garbage, consider yourselves incompetent morons who think selling bad sequels to films many consider to be nostalgic masterpieces is a great idea, 'cause guess what? It isn't a good idea. Oh yeah, and did I mention that this movie had no connection to Rosco and the Rats of NIMH (the book sequel to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH)? Another bad sign, as it was based on the CHARACTERS from the books. Not the story itself.Fans of the original Secret of NIMH should stay the hell away from this god awful monstrosity, and if you saw this whole movie, you have my greatest sympathies. The Land Before Time sequels were more entertaining than this, and I hate those too (the first LBT was pure genius, BTW). This is similar to when Conan the Destroyer came out, as it gave a big fat middle finger to fans of Conan the Barbarian. In this case, NIMH 2 is the middle finger to fans of the original NIMH (like myself), and they should be offended.If I ever see this movie in ANY retail store (and I'll be looking), I will take a hammer and smash both the case, and the disc and bury the remains in my own front yard. People will thank me, because no one should be subjected to this. Not even children who are too young to know what is a good or bad movie. Thanks a lot MGM. You just ruined a piece of my childhood, and you should be ashamed, even though it has been 11 (now 12) years since you made this garbage.You know, Timmy was the sick mouse Mrs. Brisby was trying to save in the original, because he was dying of pneumonia. If you watch the sequel to one of the greatest animated films of all time, you would wish Timmy had died of pneumonia or squashed to death by the farmer's tractor. It wouldn't even matter if they lost the G-rating. It's that bad. Then again, the first movie's story would've been pointless. Bottom line, stick with the original, if you want to keep your sanity.One more thing. If you like this movie, consider yourself someone who needs to get their brain examined, because I can't find one sane person who likes this garbage. Might as well take out my insanity and smash this piece of **** with a sledgehammer.

I liked the original NIMH film, I did. Dark and somber. I'd say it's Don Bluth's best film. The sad thing, sequels to Bluth films tend to be better than the original film (An American Tail, All Dogs Go to Heaven) but I betcha he's happy for once that did not happen. Not with NIMH 2.We start off with a recap of what happened in NIMH 1. Seeing that they re-used the old footage instead of re-animating them I was hoping to see the same sort of dark visual style. I was wrong. NIMH 2 looks like an episode of the Smurfs without the Smurfs on crack. It's the antithesis of the previous film. Bright, cheery, uninspired backgrounds and basic character design devoid of any detail. Yeah, good stuff.Either way, without going into too much detail, after seeing your favorite characters from the original film make horrid re-appearances the protagonist Timmy and his stacked girlfriend along with yourself are thrust into a land where the headquarters of NIMH is Castle Frankenstein and Timmy's brother becomes a British insane genius voiced by Eric Idle possibly singing the most cheery "I'm gonna take over the world" song ever. You know, I seriously think the original VHS tapes came with complimentary marijuana to enhance the viewing pleasure and ease the pain. That's what sucks about DVDs, you don't get stuff like that no more.I was laughing my ass off for the entirety of the film because nothing made sense. Suspension of disbelief is all well and good, but mine won't stretch this far. Watch it back-to-back with the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour and your drug addiction will have been cured. I feel pretty sure that you will not think this film is a complete waste of time if you see it after not having slept for 72 hours, like me. It's not that bad of a film really.
