 In the Minneapolis Star Tribune of July 16, 1982, animator Gary Goldman who was promoting the release of The Secret of NIMH (1982) stated, “We took the film in and let them make their own judgment. I know a G rating has the kiss of death in the industry but I don’t believe it. I think there are families out there who are mad as hell because they go to a film that’s rated PG and there’s swearing and semi-nudity and things that may be realistic to one genre of people but another genre says, ‘I didn’t come here to be demoralized. I came here to be lifted up.’

“We had arguments with the people marketing the film. They wanted a PG. We said, ‘We made this film for us. We’re entertained by it, so why shouldn’t a teen-ager or an adult like it?’ You’re aiming at the wrong audience, because there are going to be people that have to go out and get refunds because their five year old is frightened by the caves or the special effects’. Jerry Goldsmith wrote some very intense music.”

Gotta Luv these 'Dark' Themed Family Films of the 1980's, Next to 'Return to Oz', 'The Dark Crystal', the Rest of the Don Bluth Films of the 1980's, 'The Black Cauldron', and 'The Brave Little Toaster'.
