If you loved The Secret of NIMH, try An American Tail
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Don Bluth, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Adventure / Animation / Drama / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Secret of NIMH, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

New York City, steamship horns blowing, a tiny mouse lost on the dock. A family's hopeful journey across the ocean fractures, leaving a young one to face cat-filled alleys and unfamiliar streets alone. Don Bluth taps into childhood anxieties with precision.
