(I'm not sure if this is appropriate, but I know the Secret of Nimh is something that a lot of us "old skool" furries are big fans of. I apologize if it shouldn't go here.)
User BJ_Snobear of FurAffinity (the artist formerly known as Sherwood, I believe) posted in his FA journal about The Secret of Nimh.
Unbeknownst to me, apparently the folks at 20th Century Fox have been planning a 25th anniversary re-release of The Secret of Nimh, digitally enhanced, with special features including a commentary track by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman.
I bought the earlier DVD release, and while it's perfectly fine for viewing and enjoying, you can tell that it didn't have any kind of digital enhancing. It's still far better than what you could get on a VHS (if you're lucky enough to come across one), so I got it a few months back. But I'll definitely be getting this two disc special!
As well (and maybe not as interesting to the furry folks), The Last Unicorn has also been re-released after digital remastering! When I went out to buy The Secret of Nimh on DVD several months ago, I saw that this was available too, and almost bought it. Buuuuut... the DVD version available at the time is a very poorly created copy. Terrible color, soundtrack, etc. So I didn't bother buying it.
Now they've remastered it and apparently the color and sound is excellent. They did do some content editing on it though... apparently the word "Damn" used as a curse is edited in a couple of spots (frankly I probably would have never noticed if someone hadn't told me so, it's been so long since I watched it), and apparently they use a different singer for a song than the original. But from what I read at Amazon, it's many, many times better than the previous DVD release that was available.
If you're an older furry-type like me, or if you're just a fan of nostalgia animation, you might want to get a copy of each of these. These come from an era when animation was truly an artform and not just a medium to create cheap, crude humor aimed at the most juvenile of adolescence. When people talk about the difference between a "cartoon" and an "animated film", these movies are an example of the latter.
Don't get me wrong, I saw Shrek and Over the Hedge and Ice Age, and yes they're cute and I enjoyed them. But in my opinion, they can't hold a candle to classics like these.
