"This movie was dark. The lab/ 🩸 scene in particular was etched into my childhood mind. Yet again another movie about a mother protagonist trying to find a way to survive not just for herself but for her children on my list of favorite movies… 🤔 "

"The book is better. I don’t like the stone subplot, as it makes no sense, but god knows there’s so few kids movies that focus on the mom"

"I love this movie, I seriously adore this movie and I love the books too. That aside, I'm going to say this is one of those movies that turns people into furries. But it was also one of those movies that scarred me as a kid. The idea of having to watch my children drown and nobody help was just a really messed up image for a child like me to think about."

""The Secret of NIMH" was a beloved movie from my childhood!!! Even as an adult, I still find myself in awe while watching this movie!!! The plot is unlike anything I have ever seen! It's truly one-of-a-kind and beyond unique and special! The messages portrayed in this movie are powerful for children and adults alike!!! If you haven't seen this movie and enjoy movies about animals from their perspectives, then this is most definitely a movie you need to look into!!!"

"Nothing compares to how magical the book on which it’s based is, however I remember being so excited when this came out. This was the 1st time a movie had come out after a book 📖 I had just read fairly recently. It felt like I was a part of some secret club. Of course, now I know that so many books are made into movies and not always good ones! I was mesmerized by this one though and noting if it matched up to how I had pictured it. "

"Love this! One of my favorite movies when I was little. It truly shows just how strong a mother's love can be, and what people can really do when they have a goal. 7/10. "

"AH! This is the type of film I love! This has Dark Crystal vibes mixed with classic Disney animation. A perfect mix of dark and mystery filled with nostalgia vibes!
I also like how it brought awareness to animal testing and didn’t expect this to be based on true places! So interesting! "
