Aside from its title, there's no secret about it: The Secret of NIMH is exciting, engaging, and often magnificent to look at.

Fascinating. But sensitive animal-lovers beware.

Every character moves fluidly and imaginatively against an extravaganza of detailed background and dazzling effects, all emboldened by fascinating colored textures.

A return to the lush, finely detailed animation seen in the best Disney features.

The animation was, as Bluth and company had promised, a spectacular return to old-school craftsmanship.

Not enthralling, but worth seeing for anyone interested in the mechanics of this arcane art.

It's a spectacular return to the shimmering, mesmerising deep-focus animation associated with Disney's classic period...

It is something gorgeous to look at.

The animation is lovingly rendered and there's a pedigree cast (Dom DeLuise, Derek Jacobi, John Carradine) providing voices.

Never mind the G rating, this is scary stuff which sent my little one fleeing to another room inside of 10 minutes.

Bluth and his animators, bless them, chose to revive an endangered art form -- classically detailed animation. They drew their characters exquisitely and gave them individual personalities.

The award-winning book had a pretty crackerjack story to begin with, but in some respects, I think Bluth and his co-writers have bettered it.
