Reading the book made me dislike the cartoon.
I'm not one that minds changes made when adapting a book. Even huge changes like what Kubrick did with The Shining.
But the magic that appears out of nowhere in The Secret of NIMH goes against everything else in the story. Even as a kid seeing the movie in the theater (when I hadn't read the book) I remembered thinking the magic amulet was stupid. Luckily, I stopped myself before I started shouting "He didn't get out of the COCKADOODIE CAR!"
