"Is Timmy gonna die?" "No, sweetheart. He's just very sick." "What's the matter with him, Mother?" "Mr. Ages called it pneumonia." "Pneumonia." "When will he get better?" "Soon, I hope."
@@harrystoller4147 absolutely. Pneumonia is actually a very deadly disease, just now that in modern times we have all the tools and medicine to cure it. but back in older times a lot of people died from it, if not the Plague. If not cured Pneumonia almost always leads to death.
As a kid, this brought a tear to my eye because I related it to my mother's wish to protect me. As an adult, this brings a tear to my eye because now I have people I want to protect.
My baby was born premature, while he was in the NICU I couldn't hold him, all I could do to let him know that his mommy was there was talking, and sing. I sang a lot this song. It's a tune that made me cry as a child, now even more
@Heylilvelvet while pregnant my placenta didn't work correctly so he wasn't growing up as he was supposed to, and he risked not to get enough oxigen as well. At 32 weeks doctors decided that he had better chances outside of me, so I had a c section. After that my son spent 35 days in the NICU with breathing support and a feeding tube. Right now he is 10 months old and he's doing great, he is a happy child, and a very lucky one 🍀
When I was little (4 or5) I had pneumonia and I remember my mom singing to me and giving me soup. It was almost a direct scene from the movie (at least how I remember it). My mom didn’t sing me this song when I was sick but this scene in the movie has a special place in my heart and reminds me of my mom.
This was a story marketed to children, but written for young adults. One of the things that always drew me back to watch it again is the fact that it never pandered to me. It struck the exact right balance between childish things and adult themes, and never insulted the intelligence of the viewer... even if they happened to be children.
This was my best friends favorite movie, this was his and his girlfriend's song. He was one of the kidnest people, a talented artist, and survived as a child during the El Salvador civil war. He passed away today last year today.😭
Let me say this: I have never seen this film. I have no nostalgic attachment to this music. But good lord, I was so utterly moved by the sheer emotion and beauty of it that I am currently weeping my eyes out as I type this.

Fantastic movie, beautiful song :') I would love to see another Don Bluth film like this (as well as his other films too). Dark movie but has light hearted moments and of course Don Bluths trademark magic touch to his movies and as well that beautiful glittery affect he has in some of his movies when characters usually have an item of some significant importance to the movie. Also RIP Elizabeth Hartman!
Odd as this sounds...when I was a kid, ten or eleven, perhaps, I had a dream that I don't remember at all. But ever since then I can't hear this song without tearing up. It's really the damnedest thing.
A true tragedy. Elizabeth Hartman was very talented, but as human as anyone. As a tribute to her, Mrs. Brisby is often given Elizabeth as a first name in fan works, etc...

A dear friend wanted me to see this movie a few weeks ago, so we watched it together (It's one of the few Don Bluth movies I hadn't seen before), and I completely fell in love with this song. Perhaps because I can relate to it so much! If I ever have children of my own, perhaps this'll be one of the songs I'll sing to them...
I have this thing.. where I vaguely remember a movie.. I remember many of the scenes and characters in my mind. and I don't remember the whole storyline.. yet, this still makes me cry.
I'm again four years old and watching this on a cable channel. This is a lovely song, even though nearly thirty years have passed since I first heard it.
The soul to this world seems to have changed... it is rare to see love and art for the sake of their own creation and expression anymore... and it is sad
@Excuse my Sass (I know your replying to someone else, I just really want to say this.) I actually don't mind Digital art, I love it even, it's just most shows and movies seems to lack the magic that movies like N.I.M.H. and A Land Before Time had. That's not to say all old movies are better than the new ones, I just wish that there were more movies that took a more artistic approach to storytelling, both visually and musically, Think the storm scene from Bambi or Fantasia, as oppose to something like Teen Titans Go. Again it's not that all the new stuff are bad, I just wish animation had a bit more passion to it. If you've haven't heard of the YT series No Evil, Please do watch an episode or two, it's hand drawn digital art is beautiful (though the first few episodes are not the smoothest animation in the world) and the music is creative and magical, an excellent example of what we could make with our modern media. (Sorry for the word wall, I just love good art)
Everfree personally I much prefer cel animation But that's mostly because of how they used it They used much warmer colors back then, nowadays most animations look "plastic" I also MUCH PREFER the darker stories of the land before time and nimh
I love this song. This song carried me so much thru my childhood. Now that as an adult. I just remembered this song and how much it means to me. I still remember all the lyrics even though it's over 20+ years! It will still holds so much more meaning to this day especially now that I have kids.
Thumbs up if you think this is a better song than "Tomorrow Is a Brand New Day"! And if you think "The Secret of NIMH" is a better movie than "The Rescuers".
Woah. I forgot. Disney did make movies about mice society during the bronze age. Both Rescuers movies were so bland. Great Mouse Detective was okay. Don Bluth's Secret of Nimh is far superior. It is such a good movie. It is one I have loved since childhood and have fond memories of. I do like animated movies about animal testing. It brings up interesting ideas about animal rights as well as biology and psychology. Mice and rats are good animals for the Secret of Nimh. They are one of a humans closest relatives except for primates. They have dexterous front feet, which resemble hands. They are used a lot in labs. There are other animated movies about animal testing. They are also interesting. Another family friendly one is We're Back. That one is pretty good even if it is wierd. Two other ones are Felidae and Plague Dogs. They are mature and graphic, but they are still interesting. Don't watch them unless you know what you're getting into. All these movies about animal testing are good even if they are wierd and scary. Felidae is my favorite animated movie that is adults only.
when i was a child I exhausted my vhs of Secret of Nimh for this song, I am both so happy but yet to jealous of the generation after. bless you, bless you all. i hope for nothing but the best for all of you.

One of the most tender scenes in the movie, for me. Seeing it again, in later years I could really see the gentle love of a mother for her ailing son. My heart went out to poor Timothy, too!
I had discovered this precious gem of an OST was added to all streaming services this year, and now it is no longer available on any of them. All we got now is this old TH-cam playlist. Hopefully this changes in the weeks to come.
This vvas one of my first movies i ever savv. Today i savv it again and it came out from some forgotten memory. It vvas so beautiful and vvith Goldsmith music especially! But novv i can really say, i knovv vvhat changed me in childhood into crazy psycho person :D especially the scenes of testing on ratts in NIMH. Ou shit man, i should´t see this vvhen i vvas five :D

favorite movie, i could probably recite every scene word for word, letter for letter
If Timmy never took his medicine, he might die.

In the end Timmy felt much better! But Mrs. Brisby wouldn’t let him get up.

dorkandproudofit WATCH IT. WATCH IT NOW.
You must watch it. Your tears will double.
YOu dont have to watch this film, but your world will be a poorer place for not having done so.
Imagine being a child listening to this. It's not nostalgic but deep. It's such an amazing movie that is truly underrated
You can watch it on TH-cam with ads if you want it's a great kids movie.

@@harrystoller4147 The guy who sings with her, obviously
@@harrystoller4147 Me, Sally Stevens... :-) the singer you just listened to.
Sally Stevens showed us the beauty of this song, Paul Williams puts in its soul.
I used to go to a daycare where they showed us Don Bluth movies everyday. I tell people that's why I'm so messed up.
Lmao. I use the people around me and my community as my excuse. XD
Sally Stevens has a voice of an heaven angel above.

Dam you Jerry Goldsmith!
Why must you be such a musical genius?!
the GOAT
The GOAT indeed
1:46 - That is the classic Jerry Goldsmith sound.
I'm literally crying right now.
I need this album, I placed this movie as one of the greatest animated films ever conceived

Me too.

Hay it's always a pleasure meeting another '94 kid.
Athough, I'm BARELY one. I was born at the end.

I haven’t seen this movie in FOREVER but I’m bawling right now I never realized how sad this movie was until I became older

Perhaps because I can relate to it so much! If I ever have children of my own, perhaps this'll be one of the songs I'll sing to them...
it's the most beautiful movie from my childhood. they don't make movies like this anymore.
I cried in tears of wonder and joy as I saw Elizabeth Brisby use the power of love to save her children.
It's the 35th anniversary of the movie
How's life been going since two years ago? Said the random stranger.
That Oboe at the beginning makes me want to cry. I swear, Oboe is the most emotionally moving instrument.
Song will forever touch my heart and makes me cry. Bless your heart, bless my soul 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 let your dreams come true
Paul Williams and Jerry Goldsmith came up with such a great song. So heartfelt.

SUCH A GREAT SONG MY TEARS FELLS DOWN
I cried, so many memories ...
I watched this movie so many times with my older sister back in the 80's.
Thumbs up if you think this is a better song than "Tomorrow Is a Brand New Day"! And if you think "The Secret of NIMH" is a better movie than "The Rescuers".

Who else was looking for this song for years and finally found it
Wow,
I'm nine years old again.............
One of the most tender scenes in the movie, for me. Seeing it again, in later years I could really see the gentle love of a mother for her ailing son. My heart went out to poor Timothy, too!
I remember watching this movie when i was but six years old. Those were the days.

...Goddamnit, who left this tray of onions here?!
I'm so touch of this music
I have a baby sister that's due in roughly a month or two and I genuinely an excited to sing stuff like this to her
Love both versions of this song in the movie!! Such a tender scene, too!
Lol I started crying during geometry class listening to this song
so glad I still have this on DVD
My childhood....
This vvas one of my first movies i ever savv. Today i savv it again and it came out from some forgotten memory. It vvas so beautiful and vvith Goldsmith music especially! But novv i can really say, i knovv vvhat changed me in childhood into crazy psycho person :D especially the scenes of testing on ratts in NIMH. Ou shit man, i should´t see this vvhen i vvas five :D
Do you not knovv vvhere the "w" key is on the keyboard? 🤣

I think you can find it on CD, but it's an imported edition.
@SarahJacksonTheother You can hear the words just fine.

I swear it’s just “The animated mouse movie singing lady”
@Milesprower1100 Y U NO DO A RESEARCH?
@darkhyena ORLY?
The rest later.
I want to one day sing this song to my children.....but id be lying if I said I wasn't worried it might jinx things and suddenly they have Pneumonia
Why could Mrs. Brisby read she was not one of the geneticly enhanced mice it makes sense if one of her children could but not for her????
Thanks... the Paul Williams version is a little hokey to me now, but this one rocks
