So what we have here is Timmy from The Secret of NIMH, but in his grown-up form, as seen in the sequel Timmy to the Rescue.

The Secret of NIMH is one thing, but its sequel is another altogether. Since the animation and design in that film isn't very good, what I tried to do here is draw him as if Don Bluth had directed it- or at least somebody who could draw better.

To help, I looked at screenshots of Jonathan Brisby, and did some sketches of Timmy in his original form, as you can see here.

Basically, anything that you probably thought was cool and different about the first film isn't there in the second- instead of dark, gloomy colors, the colors are bright and vivid and decidedly lacking in shadow; instead of raw emotion, scary imagery, and darker themes, you get cheesy dialogue and extremely basic story elements; and instead of a general reaction to the poorly-done Disney films of the '70s, you get musical sequences.

Overall and most of all artistically, the sequel doesn't compare to the original.

But we're those rare sort of people who can actually stand to watch such movies- it's perhaps a result of enjoying cheesy B-movies and limited animation ironically, and Timmy to the Rescue is much more bearable if you don't think of it as NIMH 2 but rather as a standalone...

So ultimately, while its kinda stupid, it does have its moments and actually isn't full of plot holes like most bad sequels...
