3.0 out of 5 stars
Listen to the score, not the songs., March 29, 2001
This review is from: The Secret Of NIMH 2: Timmy to The Rescue (Audio CD)
This is a brief review of the score written for the movie, not the movie itself, a distinction perhaps lost on the earlier reviewers. The songs, like all songs that hitch rides on score albums, are to be ignored.
A fun, brass-heavy action score. Lots of color and movement. Plenty of evocative, muscular string writing. It is, perhaps, John Williams-esque in character with a touch of James Newton Howard, but really, it's a Lee Holdridge show. Lee Holdridge has a deft hand with quick mood changes, working them effortlessly into the fabric of the music. There isn't a lot in the hummable theme department, however, which may render it not too useful for putting the little kids to sleep with.
Far better music than the movie is likely to have deserved.

Not a complete waste., March 30, 2004
This review is from: The Secret Of NIMH 2: Timmy to The Rescue (Audio CD)
About the only good thing you can say about the movie is that it has a song or two worth hearing. "I Will Show The World" is good. So is "Magic Mystery Show", though it has no reason to be in this film.
