The Secret of NIMH and the Dark Crystal are 2/3 of my trinity of children's movies that I will never, ever stop enjoying. The Neverending Story is the third. When I was a child, I had the entirety of Secret of NIMH memorized to the point that I could recite the lines along with the characters, in voice and everything. I cannot say enough good about these.

And Sherv, yes, they are linked. The movie (and the book, if I remember right) is about rats whose existence is threatened by the bad guy scientists.

The book was called "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH", While the movie is "The Secret of NIMH", and her name is Mrs. Brisby.

And looking at the IMDB entry, apparently Wil Wheaton and Shannon Doherty did voices for it. Awesome.

</random trivia for the day>

I think they used some of wil wheaton's stem cells for the rats.
