I'm a pretty open guy, but this sounds like the worst thing in the world.

Would've been worst if Disney produced Nimh wouldn't it? lol

Bluth actually pitched a version of the film closer to the original story to Disney.
It was rejected for being too dark.
Danny Elfman would like to have a word with you.

Did Don mention that in the commentary of Nimh? I haven't listened to it yet.
I was exaggering for comic effect, but only slightly. Elfman is usually good, but he can sometimes be on autopilot (Terminator: Salvation comes to mind). Michael Giacchino and Alexandre Desplat do consistently excellent work.
But in the past decade we've been seeing all of the film scoring masters either dying (Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, Maurice Jarre, Basil Poledouris, ect.) or else retiring (John Barry). There's a disenheartening blandness to a lot of today's film music. Goldsmith's NIMH score is amongst my favorites, but can you imagine anyone living up to it today? :shrug:

There's one change that kind of contradicts that. The death of a certain character in the movie did not happen in the book, from what I've learned. This character was--as I understand it--killed off "for dramatic effect". That sounds pretty dark to me...
