The Land Before Time vs. The Secret of NIMH


What movie do you think is better?

I vote "Land Before Time", because: I grew up with it more, the story & characters are more realistic, the musical score is more memorable, and it makes people cry (in a good OR bad way).

I really love "The Secret of NIMH", but it's a tad overrated compared to LBT (in my opinion anyway :/).

I'm only comparing these, because they're the top 2 most popular Don Bluth films.

I'd say that it depends on how you see it. NIMH is better in terms o overall Character development, but TLBT is better in terms of Saga and Epic.

So, I'd say they are roughly equal.

The Secret of NIMH, my favourite non-Disney animated movie and in my top 20 of all time. That said, I love Land Before Time and am still incredibly touched by it.

Secret of NIMH but I love them both

The Secret of NIMH wins easily for me. I liked Land before Time when I was a kid but it hasn't held up for me. SoN is just a more engaging and memorable experience for me.

That's a very hard question, but I would have to go with TLBT. It's much deeper than TSON. Also, TSON, while a great movie, gets a little complicated with the plot while TLBT keeps it simpler. That's not always a good thing, but in this case it was.
