'The Secret of NIMH' Now Available on Hulu

Though not terribly profitable back in 1982, I was nonetheless stoked to see The Secret of NIMH is yours for the taking on Hulu. The film was Don Bluth's first as a director following his split from Disney, although he's become better known for other movies and the classic video game Dragon's Lair.

NIMH was kind of overrun in the summer of '82 by some alien that ate Reese's Pieces, and it didn't help that all the talk about Bluth's film centered on how it was too violent to be rated G. The shame of it is, Bluth made a pretty good film, and one that raised the bar for traditional animation at that time. And check out that all-star cast: Wil Wheaton, Derek Jacobi, Dom DeLuise, and Shannen Doherty.
