The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue 720p - (1998 Lang: English, Russian)

Секрет Н.И.М.Х. 2 / Секрет крыс 2: Тимми - спасатель - Мультфильм начинается с пророчества, гласящего, что один из сыновей Джонатана Бризби спасет Терновую долину от НИМХа. Роль отважного героя уготована Тимми, младшему сыну славного Джонатана Бризби, но старший сын Мартин с этим выбором не согласен и сбегает от матери, пытаясь доказать, что он не хуже Тимми и вполне мог бы справиться с ролью героя и спасителя. А Тимми послушно отправляется на обучение в Терновую долину и как то раз он встречает мышку Дженни, родители которой были двумя из потерянных шести мышей, при побеге крыс и мышей из НИМХа. Совет Терновой долины внимательно выслушал Дженни, но считает опасным снова возвращаться в НИМХ, однако Тимми, который никогда не отличался послушанием, помог Дженни выбраться из Терновой долины на воздушном шаре и отправился вместе с ней в НИМХ спасать тех, кто все еще ждет помощи Терновой долины и своих собратьев. На храбрых спасателей налетает хищный ястреб и они терпят крушение в лесу, в поисках помощи, они решают посетить мудрого филина, о котором так наслышан Тимми. Вместо филина они обнаруживают ворона-обманщика Джереми и его напарника, гусеницу Сесила.

В НИМХе Тимми встречает старшего брата, Мартина, но он не такой, каким был прежде - он изменился, благодаря опытам доктора Валентайна, и не в лучшую сторону. Мартин находит подходящий момент и захватывает весь НИМХ, живя мечтой подчинить всех и вся на своем пути к могуществу и власти. Он предлагает Тимми присоединиться к нему, но младший брат отказывает ему. Сразу же Тимми запирают в клетку, а Дженни уже рассматривается Мартином на роль королевы. Тимми сбегает из клетки с помощью Сесила и они спешат помочь Дженни. Им приходится преодолевать трудности - необходимо вернуть прежнего Мартина, а также справиться с его новыми подчиненными, двумя одичавшими котами…

Пройдя через эти испытания и спася остававшихся в заточении подопытных мышей, как когда-то поступил и его отец, мышонок Тимми доказывает, что неважно какого ты размера и любой может быть героем!

When Timmy, the ill little mouse from the first Secret of Nimh, goes to Thorn Valley he finds life there to be very harsh. So, after finding a female mouse whose parents have been captured by human scientists, he decides to do the heroic thing. After watching this I can't help feeling it has been unfairly treated. As with films like 'Son of Kong', everyone expected it to be a repeat of the original. But I think Secret of Nimh 2 is a first-class piece of escapist entertainment. The characters are good, the backgrounds look great and there is never a dull moment. Yes, there is the occasional song, but certainly nothing as teeth-grindingly twee or awful as most of the songs in the Land Before Time sequels.

The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue is a 1998 American direct-to-video animated film produced by MGM Animation and the sequel to the 1982 animated film The Secret of NIMH. In the film, Timothy Brisby, the youngest son of Jonathan and Mrs. Brisby, goes to Thorn Valley wanting to become a hero like his father. Martin is missing and it is up to Timmy and his partner Jenny to confront him and get the rats back. At Thorn Valley, Timothy learns from a young girl mouse that the mice who were presumed to have been killed during the escape from NIMH are still alive, so he and the rats mount a rescue operation.

The film, although a sequel, was created without Don Bluth's support or input. The film is unrelated to Racso and the Rats of NIMH, the sequel to the book on which the original film was based.

The film begins with a prophecy, telling how one of Jonathan and Mrs. Brisby's sons would save Thorn Valley from "the secret of NIMH". Timothy is chosen to go but his older brother Martin believes he should have been the one chosen. Martin decides to prove his quality, and goes off to find his own adventure.

One day Timmy comes across a female field mouse named Jenny McBride, whose parents were two of the lost eight mice who tried to escape NIMH but were thought to have died. The Thorn Valley council decides it would be too dangerous to save the eight mice, so Jenny and Timmy go alone. They take a hot air balloon, but it is attacked by a hawk and crashes in the forest.

Seeking help, they visit the Great Owl but instead find Jeremy the crow, posing as the Great Owl. There they learn that a caterpillar named Cecil has teamed up with Jeremy to trick the forest animals into paying them money. Jeremy and Cecil take the two mice to NIMH where they find two of the rats from Thorn Valley, Justin and Brutus. They also learn that Dr. Joseph Valentine, the head scientist, has made Martin insane. After being made insane, Martin took over the lab and brainwashed Dr. Valentine with a device similar to the one Valentine used on him and made him think he was a dog. Martin plans to use an army of lab rats riding a flock of ravens to take over Thorn Valley. He even turns two cats, Muriel and Floyd crazy, who then proceed to catch the others.

He asks Timmy to join him, but he refuses and is locked in a cage as Martin drags Jenny away to make her his queen. Timmy escapes with the help of Cecil and they go to free Jenny. Together, they knock out Martin and Timmy tricks Martin's army of ravens and rats to fly in the wrong direction. Timmy and Jenny then leave to find the others, only to find once everyone is free that NIMH is on fire. The survivors (Timmy, Jenny, her parents, the other lost four mice, Cecil, Mr. Ages, Justin and Brutus) flee. Timmy goes back to save Martin. Before he leaves, Jenny tells him she loves him and he tells her the same. After being attacked by the crazy Muriel and Floyd once again, Timmy sends them down an elevator shaft and finally finds Martin.

Timmy and Martin are able to escape through the lab's skylight, with some help from Jeremy. Jeremy takes the survivors to safety. The mice return to Thorn Valley, Martin returns to normal and Timmy arrives to a hero's welcome by the citizens of Thorn Valley, including Justin, Brutus, Mr. Ages, and Auntie Shrew, along with Mrs. Brisby and Martin's and Timmy's sisters, Teresa and Cynthia.

What is wrong with you people? As far as I'm concerned, this film and the original from 1982 are two totally and completely different things. SoN1 was a nice multi-purpose flick. It had an interesting enough plot for adults to follow, but was still understandable for older children. It was a good movie for just about anyone (except, perhaps, for those who are easily bored, as it seems to run a bit longer than it actually does) SoN2, however, was a children's film, and a damn good one. It was charming. It was cute. It was a film that I would watch with my four-year-old. Comparing this film to the first is very much like comparing Harry Potter to The Lord of the Rings. (which I've noticed, sadly, happens all too often.) I'd like to offer up a little piece of advice for all of you who feel the need to put down anything and everything that doesn't follow the original: It's really quite stupid to be offended because a CHILDREN'S CARTOON didn't live up to adult expectations for a good movie.
