Edit cast list for:
The Secret of NIMH (1982)?
Trivia:
At the time of release, this was the largest non-Disney animated film. This was `~1083~`'s first music score for an animated film. He later said that it was among his personal favorites. He was instrumental in introducing the film to `~943~`, who went on to work with `~1236~` on !~amrcn_tail~!~An American Tail~!. According to Bluth and `~1237~`in their DVD commentary, Goldsmith so loved the film that he volunteered an extra three weeks to polish and refine the score, even though he was not contractually obligated to do so. After seeing early animation roughs of his character, the villain Jenner, actor `~10817~` requested to re-record some of his lines so he could get his "performance" just right. `~1237~` stated that they originally hoped the film would receive a "PG" rating, due to several intense scenes and the maturity of the subject matter. They were actually surprised when the ratings board gave it "G", and feel that the rating might have hurt the film's commercial appeal to older audiences. The lead character's name was changed from Mrs. Frisby (in the novel) to Mrs. Brisby to avoid legal entanglements from the Wham-O company (makers of the Frisbee). Unfortunately this change came late in the film's production, long after the actors had recorded their dialog. Because it was not feasible to have every actor using the word "Frisby" in the movie re-record his or her lines, the change from "Frisby" to "Brisby" was actually made by the sound editors, who, by hand, carefully sliced the "br" (taken from other words spoken by the actors) into the "fr" on the magnetic dialog tracks. The small dragonfly Mr. Ages chases away near the beginning of the film is Evinrude from Disney's @%The Rescuers%@, one of the last films `~1236~` worked on at Disney before leaving the company. `~9374~`'s film debut. The film was originally budgeted at $6.5 million, but was reduced by the studio after production was underway. `~1237~` and the film's producers resorted to mortgaging their homes in order to raise the extra $700,000 needed to complete the film. In spite of these difficulties, the film still cost under $7 million -- roughly half of what Disney had been spending at the time on each of their animated features, even with their cost-cutting methods in animation. `~1236~`, `~10810~` and `~1237~` all left Disney to pursue this project, which had originally been rejected by their former employer as "too dark" to be a commercial success. They were followed soon after by 20 other Disney animators, dubbed "The Disney Defectors" by the trade press. According to the Farmer's Wife, NIMH is an acronym for National Institute of Mental Health
