Elijah Conger Yeah I always thought this movie would’ve been better if Timmy had been the villain instead of Martin. We actually know Martin better from the first one (hence his evolution from brat to hero) and there’s a kind of tragic element to Timmy going bad to due his sickness in the first one.

@emilymarley4505

Honestly, that would be a fantastic film. Martin could have still been abducted but then escaped, arrived at Thornvalley where he sees what Timmy has become. Then Martin and his mother, Mrs Brisby, could have teamed up to fight Timmy and had some heartwrenching scenes like in the original. Also, Mrs Brisby would get her statue.

Theory: This entire movie is just a fever dream that Timmy had while suffering from pneumonia in the first film.

In _Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH,_ they did say he was having nightmares about monsters and cats while he was sick.

Fun fact: in the Harry Potter books, it's explicitly stated that the prophecy being public was bad because it railroaded people's expectations and made them complacent, and part fo the reason Dumbledor had to send Harry to live with people who would not teach him anything about magic was so that he wouldn't know the prophecy from the start, so that he'd learn to be more reliant on himself and also not get a swollen ego. So, even in Harry Potter, the writer was aware that you don't praise children for things like this.

AND even after Dumbledore told Harry about said prophecy he openly said, "Don't tell anyone. Ron and Hermione are trustworthy but let's keep this to a severe minimum because if Voldemort knows then dude we're fucked because that's literally what he was trying to get in the Department of Mysteries." The only reason it was out in the open in the movies, was because it's more dramatic for people to know. (And it allowed for a couple comedic moments) Besides, even there, the prophecy wasn't known by anyone until the end of Order of the Phoenix. It's not something that everyone always knew and bothered him with. Harry was famous because of something he barely remembered doing, and he did still DO something, but since most everyone believed that Voldemort was now dead there was no thought that he would NEED to fight him for real later.

The writer was competent until she decided to fuck up everything

Fun fact: Don Bluth did actually make considerations for making an original sequel to the Secret of NIMH. I don't know how far they got into planning (as he only mentions it in passing in the Secret of NIMH commentary track), but the idea behind it was actually a reversal of Timmy to the Rescue-- *Martin* would have been the hero, with *Timmy* set up as the villain.

Yeah it is always sad when a movie starts with what would be a great idea but turns it to garbage. I remember a movie that I watched a few parts of that would have been epic if done right. It was a sci-fi movie about an alien invasion that was using stealth technology to frame countries for military attacks so that humanity would wipe itself out. That could have been great or at least decent, but it ended up a ScyFy channel shitstorm. It was so bad that I can't even remember the name of it. Of course, what else can you expect from the channel that created the "Sharknado" series.

When Timmy got rid of the snake as a kid, he showed some ingenuity and improvisation with various materials. He has shown himself to be intelligent and quick on his feet in that moment, but was immediately admonished for showing even the slightest amount of competence. So from childhood he is discouraged from cultivating his advantages and they have clearly taught him nothing. No wonder he grew up to be utterly useless :P

In fact, to make sure you like this new main character, we've undermined the previous main characters accomplishments. Please like this character! Both Ms. Brisby and Luke Skywalker's treatment were a result of sexism. It works both ways people.

Mortilum Ya I here that subtitle and I could physically feel my stomach want to stab itself

"single-handedly saved Thorn Valley" except for Justin, Jenny, and all the others rats who came with to aid Timmy and help out

Worst of all, this concept actually had really much potential to be good. Ignore the stupid prophecy, just don't have it. Give Mrs Birsby more credit, include her other kids more, keep the dark tone and keep the characters to the people they were in the first movie. It could have been a good movie about the son of Jonathan and how he comes to NIMH after it's only shown in a Flashback in the first movie. Could actually have been really good if they would have kept the style and the tone of the first movie, AND NOT TURN HIM INTO MESSIAH

Dare I suggest ways to actually fix this movie? From what I see, if it had been handled differently, it MIGHT have worked. How about this: 1- Include Mrs. Brisby's statue by Jonathan's. They erected her a statue as a way of thanking her for her courage. 2- Have Martin not be there in the beginning. Say he disappeared after the events of the first film. They searched everywhere, but found no sign of him. Mrs. Brisby didn't want to give up, but the others assumed he was dead. Therefore, Nicodemus' prophecy (let's keep that for the sake of a plot) would have to be fulfilled by Timmy. So he's sent to Thorn Valley to begin his training. 3- As he grows up, he has flashbacks of the last time he saw Martin. His older brother talking about wanting to be a hero like his father. To go out in the world and do something big. So he had run away and nobody had seen him since. 4- While training Timmy, the master would let him know that although he is destined for great things, he must take them in SMALL doses. Take it slowly, not try to take the world all in one go. He is young, reckless and will make mistakes. 5- Keep the subplot about Martin turning evil. It would be the result of experiments done by a mad doctor at NIMH. When Martin gained super intelligence, he would have killed the doctor and taken over his work. Thus adding a DARK element to our story. So when Martin is redeemed, he realizes the horrible deeds he's done. So, how about it? Would those changes have helped the movie? Even a little?

The biggest issue with Nimh 2 is because of how ridiculously silly, I would of loved seeing the world explore on how more experiments were being done and what were the results. And I like the designs of thorn valley, had if the writers didn't get so silly with their work, especially with the singing being added which should of never have been thought for the film. Nimh 2 is one of the most silly written films I've ever seen that weakens what Nimh of both book and movie is supposed to be.

So Martin just patiently waited years and years for Timmy to come stumble across his lair and discover his evil plan before actually carrying it out?

I can’t believe we went from this beautiful, mystical story about science, magic, and a courageous single mother’s love to - THIS. This is shameful.

I think the twist of Martin being the villain could've worked if he was the prophesied hero, he could've become arrogant and narcissistic from all the unearned praise and demanded to be placed in charge of Thorn Valley. Then, he still gets kidnapped by the scientist and turned into a villain, only it would've made more sense since he was already powermad. And then Timmy could find out and go rescue him

“Hogwarts isn’t that good of a school” You know what, I agree. It’s whimsical when you read the books but in reality it would suck. I think I’d have a better shot surviving at a school ran by the ex death eater

Don't even get me started on all the safeguarding issues. Children have literally been killed in this school. Many times. If OFSTED came to visit hogwarts, it would have been closed down. Hell, dumbledore would probably be sued or put in prison.

Funnily enough, this movie is technically based on an actual book (though very loosely). There was a sequel to "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" (yes, her name was Frisby in the book) where Timmy was the main protagonist. However, it kept the dark tone and had a pretty different story.

Eric Idle as Martin was absolutely the best part of this movie's second half. He was completely out of his mind, enjoying every minute of it, and his song is ridiculously catchy (and a visual trip down crazy lane).

If his father didn't know he was a chosen one, how come Timmy needs to?

Going to make an unrelated comment here: WAS Harry treated like a prodigy in HP? I always took it as everyone going "Holy shit, you lived", not everyone expecting him to be the messiah. He was praised a lot fo his quiddich skills, but there's a difference between being good at sports and being a messiah. In regular classes, he did about average, if I remember right. But yeah, Hogwarts is a terrible school- a giant monster attacking students and most places would begin with mass evacuation, but Hogwarts is like, nah. Isss fine! XD

That way, she wouldn't be able to warn the rats, which was the second major thing she did for them in the morning.

Had they gone further with Martin's character it could have been a good story. It seems like they were far more interested in making a hero's journey than a NIMH sequel.

So Timmy's destiny was to go to Nimh and do nothing?

There’s a book sequel by O’Brien’s daughter where Timmy actually does to to Thorn Valley for school, but there are a lot of other rats and mice who attend school there. I enjoyed it and say it’s worth a read.

Eric Idle was possibly my favourite of the Monty Python blokes, and it's always fun to see him flip his shit. But HOW did they rope him into that dumpster fire? Was he actually bankrupt, or did they convice him that it would be GOOD?

how many people came back to watch this one again 5 years later, after he finally reviewed the original?

Martin's back to normal with a bandage on his head at the end? Did the rats do a lobotomy on him or something?
