I'm still a bit grumpy they decided to release a new disk right when I finally got the 1982 version, but ah well, now I got both, or, well, all three, as the new one contains the 2015 version which is an extended 1982 one, and the new, even more extended one, I assume. 😁

Anyway! Secret of NIMH soundtracks!

The new one actually has a relatively thick booklet with screenshots and comments, so, that's really nice.

I'm watching the "Secret of NIMH" audio commentary by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. It's really interesting to me to hear people who worked on movies tell stories about it, how stuff was realized or why specific decisions were made.

It also makes you several details you might miss in a normal viewing, like how shadows were used and why sometimes specific colors were used.

I like such stuff, I want more cartoon making-ofs. Non-cartoon, as well, but with animated stuff they also always have stories about the animation progress, that's cool!

Also, I have an excuse to post more Brisby screenshots! ♥️

No matter which scene, she's so beautiful and I love that chin fur. ♥️
Lucky Justin!

Screenshots of the cartoon movie "Secret of NIMH".

Miss Brisby, a little mouse, is sitting upright in her dark bedroom, holding the blanket of her bed in her tiny paws.

Her eyes are half-opened and she still looks tired as she looks to the left, he mouth slightly opened, showing her big front teeth.

Miss Brisby is a brown mouse woman, due to the dark lightning in this shot she looks mostly gray. Being a mouse, she's not wearing clothes in this shot, the fur of her upper body is visible.

Her bed and most of her bedroom is made of wood or soil, parts of wooden roots visible on the walls.

Her bed has a tiny pillow behind her and the blanket seems to be made from stitched together red and yellow cloth squares.

Closeup of Miss Brisby the mouse and Justin, a brown-furred, male rat.

Being male and a rat, he's bigger than Miss Brisby and his muzzle is longer and arched slightly downwards.

Both of them are looking at each other with kind smiles, Justin in a friendly and flirty expression and Miss Brisby, gently looking up to him, with a slightly lovestruck expression and half-closed, loving eyes, the close camera angle emphasizing her eyelashes.

Miss Brisby seems to wear her red cape and Justin wears a kind of yellow or beige shirt.

In the background you can see the back of elderly mouse man Mister Ages walking away from them.

I wanted to watch "Shutter Island" today, but the disk seems to be faulty and thus I dared to finally watch: "The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue", the sequel to "Secret of NIMH", the movie, unrelated to the actual, second "Secret of NIMH" book.

It seems this movie is generally seen as very negative, especially by fans of the 1st movie.

I can understand that.
The movie certainly lacked the quality and the emotional depth of the 1st one.

Still, I wouldn't say it's horrible.
It's kinda half/half?

Good:
- It has cute songs
- Both Timmy and Jenny have fun and nice personalities and Jenny has a great voice actor
- General rescue mission is fine

Bad:
- What they made of NIMH
- How the antagonist was handled
- Technical quality
- Pacing

Movie cover of the movie.

The title reads in red letters on yellow banner "The Secret of NIMH 2" and in yellow on red "Timmy to the rescue".

Below it is Timmy, prominently displayed: a brownish-orange mouse boy wearing only a blue vest in a proud pose with his right fist in front of his chest.

Next to him is Jenny, a mouse girl in a res sweater with a thick blonde pony tail, seemingly cheering him on.

Shown additionally are Jeremy, a crow, and a green caterpillar with orange hair, blue west and hat and a red tie.

In the background you can see several stone or clay built houses and plenty of rodents seemingly cheering to Timmy as well.

On the very top, a big white cat is visible with an angry, aggressive expression, bearing its teeth and clawing into the movie's banner.

I note the human farmers haven't noticed the rodent civilisation developing around them. The land should belong to the ascendant micropeople!

It seems the second "Secret of NIMH" movie is universally disliked.
I so still kinda want to watch it, and if it's only to understand and share everyone's dislike for it. 😅

Sketchbook commission taken at AC for Bizymouse, who was kind enough to ask for a special someone I've been really wanting to draw anyway. #mrsbrisby #thesecretofnimh

A pencil sketch of Mrs. Brisby from The Secret of NIMH, gently floating with her cape drifting around her, her arms around the magic amulet and holding it close to her chest. Handwriting reads, "Courage of the heart is very rare / The stone has a power when it's there" and signed "Feather Critter / AC 2025"

Another piece of Mrs. Brisby fanart someone did!

I'm really happy about this. Because it's a great piece, but also because it shows in such an awesome way how fanworks can keep a creation alive for so much longer and carry its legacy for possibly forever.

Another reason why companies should work with and not against fan creations. ♥️

Anyway, have a Brisby by RocksoDraws. 🥰
