IMDb profile

The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue is a direct-to-video animated film produced by MGM Animation. This film tells the story of Timothy Brisby, the youngest son of Jonathan and Mrs. Brisby. He has been chosen to become a hero to the rats of Thorn Valley. The film is a sequel to the 1982 Don Bluth film The Secret of NIMH, created without Bluth's support or input, as MGM owns all rights to the original film.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In The Secret of Nimh 2, Martin becomes corrupted and evil (although not by choice), and Timothy must confront him in order to save the Rats. Ironically, Don Bluth has stated on his website once that if they ever theoretically did a sequel themselves, he would have been interested in making Timothy a villain and Martin the main character.
