The Secret of NIMH
ActionAdventureAnimationDramaFamilyFantasyMysterySci-Fi83 min
With her home in the path of a farmer’s plow and one of her children too sick to travel, Elizabeth Hartman’s Mrs. Brisby has little time to save her family. Her search for help leads from a crow voiced by Dom DeLuise to an owl in the woods and, finally, to a hidden colony of escaped lab rats whose unusual intelligence is tied to the secret of NIMH. The story keeps its focus small and urgent, moving through fields, burrows, and shadowy interiors where a widow mouse is suddenly caught up in forces much larger than her own home.
