The last couple of days Cartoon Network has been playing The Secret of Nimh. I was probably like 5 when I last saw it. Anyway, the animation is beautiful. The movements of the animals are fantastic. The secondary motion of the clothing is amazing. Facial expressions are spot on. It's extremely impressive.
The reason it never gained huge popularity is pretty obvious, I can see the imagery scaring the hell out of most kids. It's very dark. It definitely deserved more credit than it got though. Don Bluth did an incredible job.
