“The Secret of NIMH seeks to resurrect the classical style of American animation and succeeds, telling a mature story with rapturous presentation.”

Sadly, The Secret of NIMH is beautiful but unbalanced: The animators gambled when they should have gamboled.

RTSydney Morning HeraldNov 11, 2021

Parents wistful for the world of mystery and magic fondly remembered from the best of the Disney cartoon features should hasten along to this rather endearing fantasy.

N

Neil Jillett

RTThe Age (Australia)Nov 11, 2021

This American full-length animated cartoon lives up to its publicity as a return to the meticulous artwork and storybook charm of the golden days of Disney.

At its heart, The Secret of NIMH is aimed at children, but it still hits all the same nostalgic notes for those who watched it as a child and again as an adult.
