I finally sat down and watched this a few months ago. I really liked it, I enjoy the style of Don Bluth.

It's funny, because I had seen it many times as a kid, but I realized that I had no idea what the hell was going on in the film. Big scary owl, levitating cinder block, but what the hell was the actual story?

I think it's a pretty good kid's film, albeit the kind of kid's film that is filled with imagery that is terrifying to a child. That owl is still creepy as hell.

hands down my favorite animated film. I wish they had taken all the funny s**t out with the bird and aunt claire. I think they did that to tone it down, but it's very dark and it should have been made with the intention of being an adult film.

This movie is on my list to see and review at one point or another.  I heard it is very good and it was made by the guy who did The Land Before Time and All Dogs Go to Heaven (I liked those films when I was younger), so this should be very good to see.

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

It's actually based on a book, which is quite different in tone to the movie.

Don Bluth made himself quite a distinguished animator in the 80's with this effort, along with American Tail, and the original Land Before Time.  However, he went off into some strange tangents in the 90's with Rock-a-Doodle, and Troll in Central Park, before trying to recapture his old magic with Titan AE, which ultimately fizzled in theaters, though seems to have a cult following now. 

NIMH still stands out as a dark, but engaging animated film, the likes of which has never been seen since.  For the most part, Bluth seemed to understand a wonderful point that Brad Bird (Who I consider to be Bluth's contemporary) made...that Animation is a medium, and not a genre.  There doesn't have to be just one way of handling it.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
