rating: 1 QuoteA cheesy disappointmentQuote
My mom bought me the movie after we finished reading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. I was really excited to watch it. When I did, I ended up bewildered and disappointed.

First, there were many things in the movie not even in the book. Also, I didn't understand why Nicodemus and the owl had spooky, yellow glowing eyes. They were very creepy. The movie was much more violent than the book ever was. The rats don't even look like rats. The rats were just smart, there was no need for magic.

In conclusion, this movie was very cheesy. No pun intended.

This has always been one of my favorite animated films. It follows the novel pretty well, and is just really enjoyable to watch. I absolutely recommend it. September 17, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteBeautifully done and pertinent to the times.Quote
The story is for children but deals with subject matter that we should all concern ourselves with. The question of what science is doing to our environment and the life forms which inhabit this planet. I took my children to see it when it came out and have now bought the DVD for my grandchildren.The story line is sweet and timeless. August 31, 2008

rating: 4 QuoteGreat film, but family fun edition?Quote
I remember growing up and enjoying this film, but I also vividly remembering how much certain scenes scared the hell out of me, with the Owl, for instance. I whole heartily recommend this movie, but be mindful of you child's tolerance for scary images it might be worth while to wait until the kids are a little older for this gem. August 6, 2008

Always loved this story since I was young. I bought it as part of collection for my nephew to watch when I have him over (and me too....lol). June 26, 2008
