This week Sarrah & Aly are finally discussing one of the big names of the 80s and 90s: Don Bluth.
That's right, we're watching "The Secret of NIMH".
Aly discusses the original book and it's author - Robert C. O'Brien, who used a pen name for his entire life to avoid contract disputes. She also breaks down the differences from novel to film and teaches us a little bit about the rat research experiments that inspired O'Brien to write NIMH.
Sarrah tells us all about the early days at Don Bluth Productions, including how they first started working out of Bluth's garage, and couldn't even pay their animators up front. Lucky for them it all worked out!
Our walk-through primarily consists of us having trouble understanding the magical element of the film, as well as appreciating the fully developed characters, and of course - Don Bluth sparkles!
So gather up your most intelligent friends, and please remove any jewelry (it distracts Jeremy), and let's discover the Secret of NIMH!
