Review of The Secret of NIMH (1982) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 18 Dec 2011
The Secret of Nimh is an artistic success. It looks good, moves well, and delights our eyes. It is not quite such a success on the emotional level, however, because it has so many characters and involves them in so many different problems that there's nobody for the kids in the audience to strongly identify with.
I guess you could say that the Disney tradition lives, but that the Disney magic still remains elusive.
