Reviews:

In 1982 Jerry Goldsmith tried his hand at scoring an animated film, The Secret of NIMH.  The result of sourse was
a resounding success.  Now, after all these years, comes The Secret of NIMH 2 - Timmy to the Rescue.  The film
features the vocal talents of Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid) and Dom DeLuise and, whereas the first film only
featured one song, "Flying Dreams," the sequel is peppered with songs, written by the composer of the film's
orchestral score, Lee Holdridge, in partnership with Richard Sparks.  The soundtrack album from Sonic Images
features 62 minutes of songs and score, the latter performed by the excellent Philharmonia of London.  This is
full-blooded symphonic stuff, in turns big and mystical, bright and breezy, tender and poignant, with exciting
action, the odd comedic episode, and soaring moments of beauty.  Holdridge of course weaves elements of the
songs into his instrumentals, and particularly effective are his variations on the show stopper "I Will Show the
World," especially in "Escape from NIMH."  Other songs performed by the cast and ensemble include the big
production number "Come Make the Most of Your Life," with its big march-like ending, the calypso-styled "Magic
Mystery Show," the warped villainy of "Just Say Yes!" and the sad refrain "All I Had is Gone."  There is also a
big sad ballad "My Life My Love" performed by Al Jarreau and Bobbi Page.  The whole thing ends in a splendid
choral style with the rousing "Finale."  The disc's accompanying booklet is attractively illustrated and gives full
song lyrics, brief biographies of Holdridge and Sparks and a summary of the film's plot.
