The Secret of NIMH 2 - Timmy to the Rescue (1998)

SUXX

This wretched little abomination should have been aborted on the cutting room floor, best as I can figure it. It is little coincidence, methinks, that the money-grubbin' honchos at MGM would come out with a "sequel" to a trully great and generally over-looked piece of anime, the same year as they bring the original out on dvd. Way to exploit, and ultimately denegrate, fine art for a buck, you soulless swine! There is only one "Secret of NIMH"! November 1, 2007

Not As Bad As IThought I'd Be...

Not nearly as good as it's original Secret of NIMH. It's like watching saturday morning cartoons, really. I suppose everything seems a bit logically in place, but I don't know. This isn't a good sequel; not that I expected it to be what with the reviews. I was still curious and had to give it a watch. If you have a vhs player, it might not hurt to spend but a few cents. If not, don't bother I can't imagine they'd waste dvd printing on -this- October 10, 2007

What is this?!

It's basically expected you'll be given a bad movie when a sequel is made. There haven't been any decent sequels in the animation department save for "Toy Story 2" (my opinion of course), but I never knew that there would be a poster child for bad movies. And we have this rotgut junk, "Timmy to the Rescue." The animation is like a TV series based off of a Disney Movie that has been chopped about to fit your DVD. The mice are huge compared to the mice in the first movie, and there is no real plot to this that I found fun at all. The so-called twist in the end where Martin exposes himself to be the evil creature behind NIHM was poorly done at best, with songs that are so irritating, I immediately scrambled for the mute button.

There was one thing that annoyed me in watching this. Besides stupid characters, sub-par voice acting, and lame dialogue, is that the voices sometimes don't sync well with the lip movements. For instance, when Martin is talking to Timmy, his lips sometimes move after he is finished talking, and sometimes the lips stop before the sentence ends. Was the movie done in a different language first, then dubbed to suit the English-speaking audience, or was that another finger pointed at the producers for bad animation? So and so, I recommend that you don't see this movie. Don't even get it for your kids. This movie pales in comparison to the original in so many ways. June 24, 2007

Timmy the mouse

An excellent story with many valuable moral lessons. It holds the childrens attention from start to finish. They have watched it over and over. A must see for children from 3 up. March 11, 2007

Not like the First but good for kids

I agree with most of the people reviewing this movie that is is nothing compared to the original but, being a mother of young ones, I enjoy the fact that my kids can watch it and enjoy the music and entertainment. I rate it with 1 star for an adult film but 5 stars for a young childrens film. I personally enjoy the song sung by Timmy about not being like his father. This video may not be as moving as the first but it does have some lessons to teach. January 5, 2007
