let me begin by say that the secret of nimh be my favorite movie of all time . i have often wonder why don bluth have never make any movie that have be anywhere near as good a this one ( grant nimh be about as perfect a any animated movie can get and so it sort of a tough act to follow ) . then i have the golden moment represent bluth be a hayao miyazaki trap in the body of a michael eisner . on the one hand and he want to elevate animation to an art form capable of heart rend beauty . on the other and he feel like he have to make film that be marketable and and that will be hit . in short and he be clip his own wing . with that in mind and watch rock a doodle make me physically ill. it be the one movie that have completely screw up my be it bad that theodore rex . rating system and because it be so depressing to watch . why do bluth greenlight this story ( if you can call it that ) . you can be a parody of the old elvis musical and you can be an adventure with some animal lose in a strange city and you can be a fantasy with an evil wizard who want an eternal night and you can be a dumb little kid movie with some stupid kid dance with cartoon animal . you can be any one of these movie but you can not be all four at once .
