The Children of NIMH
How's this for a blast from the past. I began my own geeky fan story in Rowerbrazzle back in the early '80s, integrating elements of the O'Brian original and film elements and playing with a tiny dark hint from the book to make a next generation story. Much more satisfying than the nasty things that came out later.

It was put out
timkangaroo many, many years ago, and was called "The NIMH File." No, I don't have a copy, but I've seen it.

The two follow-up books written by O'Brien's daughter were atrocious, particularly the last one with the children. The animated version wasn't even based on those books, and was still horrifying with one of the absolutely dumbest twists ever. The Nostalgia Critic does a hilarious review of it.
I love the composition! It really makes me want to read your fic because the image is so interesting and brings up lots of questions. Reminds me of the good ol' days when movie posters and video covers for animated movies were good...you know, like something you'd frame and put on a wall. Now, it's like they get whatever terrible intern they can find to design them. Ugh...animation, what happened to you?
Anyway, as usual, your use of lighting makes me absolutely jealous. One day, one day, I'll be able to do that. The balance between your style and Bluth's looks amazing. You did a great job of keeping to his style but putting your own spin on it.
