Mrs. Brisby, recent widow of Jonathan Brisby, is a timid field mouse trying very hard to raise her four children on her own. She and her family live on the lands of Farmer Fitzgibbon and every year, just after the frost lifts, the family must leave their home in the fields before the farmer's plow crushes them. This yearly routine is complicated when Mrs. Brisby's youngest son, Timothy, becomes very sick with pneumonia and if he leaves the house, the cold early spring air will kill him. Desperate to save her son's life, Mrs. Brisby must put aside the fears that threaten to overwhelm her and find help, even if it means going to the infamous Rats of NIMH.

Of Interest: If "The Secret of NIMH" is based on Robert C. O'Brien's book, "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH", why is our heroine called Mrs. Brisby? Answer, because the Frisbee company--yes, the maker of the flying toy discs--complained to Don Bluth until they got it that way. And apparently, this was after the entire movie had been voiced so there were Frisby's all over the place. Bluth and company changed it to "Brisby", dubbing a 'b' sound in place of the 'f' sound. -- originally in the NIMH issue of ToonTalk
