Hey... I'm Fluttershy. I saw this site and made an account. I hope you don't mind...

@scribus Much like the Highlander and the Matrix, I'm glad that the Secret of NIMH movie never had a sequel.

@mylittlegulo There were also only three Star Wars movies and two Indiana Jones movies ever made.

@mylittlegulo also, secret of Nimh did have a sequel. I never saw it but it came out in early 2000s

@allanah Indeed. There was no sequel. Some people have this mistaken idea that they once saw something called "The Secret of NIMH 2" and something about Timmy and rescues, but they're wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. Secret of NIMH never had a sequel. ;)

@scribus To be fair, The Secret of NIMH plot is pretty generic as it's just the "Heroes Journey" AKA the Monomyth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomyth

@scribus @thelastgherkin I'm not complaining about it, just pointing it out. :) I love the Monomyth and it's funny how far you can apply it; I use it a lot when I write RPG adventures. Sometimes it's more obvious than others (look at the people comparing Avatar with Pocahotas; both adhere to the Monomyth so calling Avatar a copy of Pocahontas is silly since they're all just copying The Odyessy from Homer :D )

@scribus Yes, agreed. :) I've bought the movie on VHS 2, 3 times? DVD at least twice? Read the book (Mrs Frisby and the rats of NIMH), wrote fiction about it when I was in school. Wil Wheton and Shannon Doherty were both in that movie, along with Dom DeLuise, David Carradine, all animated by Don Bluth. It is truly an epic film and I'm a huge fan. ;)
