...big nasty motherfucker with balls THIS BIG!
Watched The Secret of NIMH with Dee today. I was afraid it might be a bit scary for her, but it wasn't as bad as I remembered and she seemed to enjoy it.
If you're not familiar with the story, it basically revolves around a mouse who's husband has recently died who must enlist the help of some genetically modified escaped lab rats who can read, work with electricity, plumbing and even magic to move her house and save her sick son before the farmer's tractor plows the whole thing under.
I had also been unaware that Wil Wheaton voiced one of the mice (the bratty one).
Now... about that mouse's husband...
Don Bluth and his crew made this movie right after they escaped left Disney to start their own enterprise. In fact I think it was this movie that prompted that move because Disney thought it was too dark to make any money.
But have you noticed this theme among Disney films? It sure seems that a lot of them seem to start with the death of a parent or at least imply the death of a parent. Let's see...
There's probably more that I'm missing or can't find info on right now. Granted this is a very small portion of the films Disney has made over the years but I also didn't count a lot of the movies where the kids have a single parent and no mention is made of what happened to the other parent. Additionally, a lot of the stories for these films is not original Disney material either and "orphaned" by no means that the parents are actually dead.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. If you know of any I'm specifically missing, please let me know.
