The Secret of NIMH

[_asenath_]

I just watched it again for the first time in who knows how many the hell years. I remember when I first saw it (i was probably 4) I thought it was really scary. Not having seen it for so long, I forgot how freaking cool the colony the rats have built under the rosebush is, and am of an age now to appreciate how absolutely beautiful the animation

and Jenner is more misdirected, well-intentioned antagonist.

*not* Ratsputin type.

(RATsputin... ha ha, I'm just so clever sometimes)

LOLZ all around

His face is pretty horrific, too. No wonder it freaked my shit out when I was a kid.

I think I refused to watch it any further than his first appearance when I was small just for that reason.

[fire_faery]

I haven't seen that in years.

Loved the original book.
I liked the sword fight, even if it wasn't in the original story. Who doesn't love swashbuckling rats?

Swashbuckling mice are even better; I want Reepicheep on-screen.

Apparently I am to have my wish, or have my dreams crushed, shortly. (Really, though, books are always first in my heart, movie adaptations are unnecessary and the special effects are lousy compared to Inside My Head v33.1.)

i never knew that there was a movie on that. I remember when I was little (yea), reading (yea...) that book over and over again because it was so well detailed. Probably one of the few books I have ever been able to imagine in my head. I suppose I'm curious to know how accurate I got it in my head...

I think I actually borrowed it from Tony, else I would lend you a copy (the book, i mean). I really really like the book.

i haven't seen the movie nor read the book(s)... someday i will.
