Great video! You mentioned not getting super powers, but on top of getting intelligence they ALSO god much longer lives, hence Nicodemus saying to Brisby “(it) slowed the aging process … you would have grown old while he remained young” in reference to her deceased husband.
One of my childhood movies, even before I discovered Disney. And Jenner was a big inspiration for writing. He's competent, cunning, ruthless and very determined. Even though I stil doesn't get the whole deal with the gem, he had one of the most scary deaths I saw in animated movies. I am glad they made him more of an antagonist in the movie though. Makes him more bananas sure, but he has his head of his shoulders most of the time. x) Also, Ratigan was a terrifying rodent as well.
Excellent review, agree with the score and analysis, but sorry man, Ms. Brisby goes through way too much, forces herself through numerous heroics and trials, and all in just such a short movie, she is a cooler character.
Agree. I love Brisby because unlike other mice characters who are outspoken heroes that despite being small can achieve great things, Brisby is a very timid scared mouse that has her flaws but chooses to be brave and save her family despite her small size.
Jenner was truly an evil looking villain. Better than Jafar, Scar, and Ratigan put together. The only down side to him was his evil scheme. He wanted to kill Nicodemus because he did not like the idea of moving somewhere else and wanted to stay in the rose bush. That's not really a evil scheme, it's more like a childish scheme, like a kid who doesn't like the idea of moving to a new house. If he did it because he wanted power, or that he wanted to use his knowledge to find a way to grow rats to human size and take over the world, that would look more like an evil scheme. If you want to review another villain try reviewing Frollo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Cromwell from Wolfwalkers, or Zig Zag from the Thief and the Cobbler.
Well, I think Jenner's plan was presented as such because of one of the movie's themes: "With great power comes great responsibility". While the other rats want to move somewhere else where they don't have to steel resources, Jenner wants to stay and continue steeling electricity from the farmer. By preserving the old ways and staying in the rose bush, he is not only replenishing their power, but dooming them to a horrible fate. That's the essence of his plan: He wanted power so much, he would sentence his fellow rats to death. His ambitions of power poisoned his heart with a hate so strong, only the dagger of love could kill him.
Not sure if you're aware, but this movie (1982) was an adaptation of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM book that was written in 1971. I'm curious what your opinion is of the differences between the two.
Great series! I wonder if You'd be willing to include: Van Kleiss(Generator Rex), either Wuya or Chase Young(Xiaolin Showdown) or the Diamonds(Steven Universe)...? :3
I agree with you. However, Secret of NIMH was made in 1982 not 1934. Yet I still like your opinion on Jenner, he reminds me of the Rat King from the Nutcracker. I would love to see you do a review on the Rat(Mouse) King from the Nutcracker Prince(1990). Just my opinion.
Jenner is a great villain. Also his plans to fight the humans, it was never going to work anyway because humans are bigger and stronger than him. Also NIMH would have found him and the others. They would have recaptured Jenner and the others.
Jenner:what's to stop us from taking over.
Me:broomsticks

I second that 👍

Love your videos. Can you please do a hero/villain review for Basil or Rattigan from The Great Mouse Detective or John Silver from Treasure Planet?
I suggest justin to review.
Keep doing the videos every villain once had a good side and there's something that made them evil
Can you do Chester V.?
Do Donquixote Doflamingo from One Piece or Charlotte Katakuri
I agree with you. However, Secret of NIMH was made in 1982 not 1934. Yet I still like your opinion on Jenner, he reminds me of the Rat King from the Nutcracker. I would love to see you do a review on the Rat(Mouse) King from the Nutcracker Prince(1990). Just my opinion.

Jenner is a great villain.
Also his plans to fight the humans, it was never going to work anyway because humans are bigger and stronger than him. Also NIMH would have found him and the others. They would have recaptured Jenner and the others.

I've lived by this motto ever since I heard it from Jenner at the age of 10.

It sounds like Jenner is a Democrat fighting against Jeremy who's a Republican
