The Secret of NIMH 1-Disc Box Set DVD

The Secret of NIMH is a 1982 animated feature that drops viewers into a quietly desperate corner of the natural world, where a widowed field mouse must seek help from a hidden community of intelligent rats to save her ailing son before the farmer's plow arrives. With voice work from Elizabeth Hartman, Derek Jacobi, and Dom DeLuise, the film commits fully to its dark fairy-tale register, treating its small-scale story with the kind of seriousness more animated features reserve for grand quests.
