I'm a huge fan of the first movie, and of the original book. And I can certainly understand how this movie isn't liked in general and especially not by fans of the original one.

Still I wouldn't consider it a total "trainwreck", I think there are actually some very nice things in it that are, sadly, ruined by others.

Ultimately, it's a not-horrible cute-mice movie, but by far not a worthy sequel to Secret of NIMH. It would've worked better on its own if the pacing issues were fixed.

Short list first, this is spoiler-free:

The good:

• I like that the movie has songs, I lik... read the rest.
