Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

crosswalkx How the Nimh 2 movie was different than the Nimh 2 book.I can remember when there was the first Nimh book which didn't have any swearing but the 1983 Secret of Nimh Don Bluth movie adaption had some PG Bible swear words like God and Damned which upset me and the four letter word would also be in Jane Leslie Conlys 3rd book "R-T, Margaret, and the Rats of NIMH 1990" which I was shocked and surprised that Jane Leslie Conly would slip in a few PG swear words like Damned in the 3rd Nimh book since she considers swearing normal.Anyways about this 1998 movie Secret of Nimh 2: Timmy to the rescue as you know is completely different from Jane Leslie Conlys second book "Rasco and the Rats of NIMH 1988" The book had Timmy walking all the way to Thorn Valley with his new rat friend Rasco. Nicodemus is alive and well in the book and so is Rascos father Jenner but killed himself in the end to break the dam. and they're trying to prevent humans from building a new dam.The movie didn't have Rasco and they already killed off Nicodemus and Jenner. There are new characters not in the book like the 2 mean cats Muriel and Floyd. Jenny McBride the girl mouse. There's also 2 humans Dr. Valentine and his scientist assistant. There's also a caterpillar named Cecil.This movie's about a mouse named Timmy who goes to Thorn Valley and meets his new girlfriend mouse Jenny and together they fly over to the city at a mad scientist lab to save his insane mental ill brother Martin and stop the Invasion of Thorn Valley.My thoughts about this movie is yes the mice are half naked wearing shirts but no pants or shoes so you can see their furry bottoms which I find silly. Even though this was better and happier than the dark PG movie Nimh 1 I was disappointed they completely changed the book similar to Disneys 1985 "The Black Cauldron" movie.Anyways I wonder what Jane Leslie Conly thought when she saw this movie and I wonder if she told MGM no more movie adaptations. Anyways the story and music was fun and entertaining even if it was completely different from the book. I feel sorry for Paul Sabella and the MGM people who worked hard at the movie and I'm sorry Robert C. O Briens book has been altered by Hollywood people.

stephan-9 I make family films for a living, and I think this film should be required viewing for everyone in the industry as a cautionary tale of how not to make a film.Almost everything that can be wrong with a sequel is wrong with this one.I'm convinced that the people who made this film hate animation as a medium, hate charm and beauty, hate Don Bluth personally and want to dance on the man's grave when he passes, and most of all hate audiences intensely and wish them to suffer.But while it would be illustrative to emerging tradespeople in the industry to study specific points about individual failings of this film, it is pointless in a capsule review -- it'd be like writing a culinary review with details as to why Twinkies are not very good pastries.

Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) I should have read the warning signs. Upon seeing that my parents spent money on buying a direct-to-video sequel to one of the greatest movies ever made five years ago, I should have just ignored it. Instead, I had to watch this whole thing through. Why? Because I'm stupid and I'll watch anything that is either good or bad. The reason why I'm never watching this sequel again is because how extremely bad it is.It has spoilers. Be very afraid.The story is just simple. It tells the story about Timmy, Mrs. Brisby's son (who had just said one line at the end of the original film) who is sent to Thorn Valley to work with Justin and Mr. Ages. After finding a female mouse named Jenny, who's parents are kidnapped by NIMH, they set off to find the Great Owl. As they avoid very dangerous obstacles along the way, little do they know that they have bumped into someone from the past.The Land Before Time sequels are more entertaining than this even though some people hated them as well, but I would recommend that you should avoid this at all costs. It's still crap.The animation is lazy. For example, there's this one scene near the end of the film where Timmy tries to save Jenny from the evil Dr. Martin, Timmy's brother (who complained about not being able to go to Thorn Valley in the beginning of the film) who has strapped her in a chair (For some reason, she's not strapped until she later, it shows) and where Timmy throws the key to Jenny, but for some reason, Timmy uses the key with his sling gun to hit the switch to release her while hitting Martin as well. Think that this type of laziness is bad? It's worse.The story had no connection to the book sequel to Mrs. Frisby And The Rats Of NIMH in which the original film was based on since it suffered from too many plot holes. There's a fact that Timmy hasn't done anything since he became a hero, the fact that there's a self-fulfilling prophecy, and the fact that the rats never left Thorn Valley. Plus, they had the balls to make it a musical with annoying songs while the first two songs from the original were good. (The pop song in the ending credits was also good. Gotta give this movie some credit for that).The voice acting is just horrendous with one exception. Eric Idles' Over-The-Top performance as the evil Martin is the only saving grace near the end of this horrible sequel. I know that's not saying much, but at least he's entertaining than the rest of the forgettable characters including Timmy and Jenny.The Secret of NIMH 2, Timmy to the Rescue is one of the worst sequels I have ever seen, if not one of the "WORST" movies I have ever seen. It's even more bad than "The Magic Voyage". I hope it rots in ****.There. That's all I have to say about this... horrible film.Rating: 1.5/10

aaronmocksing1987 If you happen to think this movie is in any way good at all, you're dumb and need to have your head examined between what is a good movie and what is a bad movie. This is a terrible movie - the king thats at the bottom of Video Hell next to the likes of Uwe Boll and Z-grade pornography. It's nothing like the original. The original had heart, and feeling, including soul; this movie lacks all of it: it just a bunch of mice doing nothing in particular but sing about how big their butts are and why picking your nose could cause rifts in the space-time continuum. At the very least they should have tried a little more harder into making it in the same vein - maybe improve the animation a little more, because this is just total bullshit. I, as Justin, urge all rats in Thorn Valley to come with me as I personally chase after and fend of anyone who dares rent this movie because it's worth a look. It isn't. We will hunt you and we will kill you.
