i just watched this on netflix for 1st time and i really loved it but imo it was too short i feel an extra 30 minutes would of gone a long way

more things could of been fleshed out we really didn't get to know Justin enough other than that he was a noble rat i think jeremy and dragon were more developed

i think we should of had more interaction in the thorn bush with the rats and their world

it seems 5 minutes into we meet jenner he is already plotting Nicodemus death even lion king developed scar much more before his betrayal

I do like this movie's simplicity and I'm glad it was never invaded by Captain Exposition. That said, many animated films could benefit from extended length. The Secret of NIMH certainly could have benefited if done correctly.

If everything is not all rainbows and kittens for you today, hopefully it will be tomorrow!

It was on Encore and I haven't seen this in 3 decades.

That's exactly how I feel. It should've been 30 minutes longer; I felt that very little was accomplished unless I just didn't pay enough attention. But it was just a tad boring for my liking.
