    what even is the social dynamics in the world of NIMH?
    Animals wear clothing because the rats were wearing them and they just sorta.....adapted as well?? Some don't still so were they always just feral until coming into contact with the rats or something?

      Explicitly yes. The rats gained intelligence when they were experimented on at NIMH, and when they escaped to the farm, they gave the surrounding animals intelligence as well, somehow. Outside of that little farm, all animals are feral.

        The other animals have intelligence, but it's just basic animal intelligence, unlike the rats who basically have human intelligence.

      I accept that Jonarhan's children can develop intelligence via his genes, and Brisby was slowly uplifted by Jonathan and Ages. The other animals though; Jeremy, Shrew, even the Owl, I don't see how they can develop that level of intelligence via osmosis.

          that's some decent headcanon. if the Owl had been hunting NIHM animals since he was young, I suppose he'd get multiple small doses worth of the serum over years.

        Bluth implies it's just nicodemus shapeshifted into the owl since they have the same glowing eyes. In the book the owl is just a wise old animal that johnathan befriended in the past too. It's probably just a byproduct of a kid's book needing a thing or person to help move the story along so no satisfying answer to what or who the owl is.

        Owl was a super special perhaps magical character, who lived for a very long time (and possibly Nicodemus' friend). Shrew was introduced to clothes as a friend of the family, but she does not have a human-like house of her own. Jeremy is a crow, they are smart. Animals can talk to each other via Animal Language, that is just something Don assumed people can understand, since that was a very common thing in fiction for a very long time.

        Basically, Secret of NIMH cannot be mapped 1:1 on our real life. Mice cannot communicate with crows in the real world, and that's just 1 thing.

          Pretty much this.
          In the book, it's simply assumed that animals can talk to each other regardless of NIMH experimentation. The rats are smarter than everyone, but everyone has a base level of intelligence that they can use to communicate. Which is weird, because I've always thought of the book as far more grounded and realistic than the movie.
          In the Movie, I assume that it's simply magical contact that makes people intelligent. Mrs Brisby lived with John, so she was almost as smart as a person, but Jeremy and Shrew were less intelligent due to their limited exposure to the Rats of NIMH.
          Although do I like that idea of Owl being smarter because of him constantly eating the other intelligent creatures.

                I'd say they have been around in an evolved state for a decade at least. You need to time to standardize your culture, and the rats clearly have it. Even if they are copying what they saw from humans (and wearing clothes made for toys, this is only for the smartest viewers to pick up) and picking and choosing what human behaviors to adopt.

                Dragon the cat has been an issue for a while and cats tend to clock around 10 years on average and closer to 20 if they're indoors only and well cared for. Which gives us a sort of soft idea of a timeline

                Well, they did not have to live in the rosebush ALL this time. Perhaps they lived in Utah. And before that in Florida. I am just making shit up, but it is completely possible they've been around for 20 or more years, and just lived elsewhere.

        The nimh rats actually have extended lifespans possibly human level. Mrs. Brisby was a normal wild/feral field mouse Johnathan literally fricked intelligence into. She has the short natural lifespan. Luckily her kinds inherited their father's mutated genes making them smarter and longer lived than her.

          Fun fact: that was more or less the plot of the movie, when a sci-fi writer who Bluth worked with, ended the script with "what if the rats of NIMH never really existed, but were sort of a collective hallucination?" That spin inspired Don so much, he decided to write his own script, full of 2deep4u mystical shit (what we got in the final product).

          Do I have a source? Did I make it up? Yes, and no. It is THIS book

      Mrs Brisby in the movie showed a lot of strength as a character.
      She wasn't anything special, but was willing to move mountains for her children. And did so without hesitation.
      She was one of the best interpretations of a hero in a kids movie....because it was realistic.

      Despite fear, not being strong, or having no real gifts, she showed tremendous strength and bravery.. yet wasn't a Mary Sue.

            read this right as the credits rolled and this came up

            I really loved the movie. It's very wholesome and cute. Mrs Brisby as adorable, and I wish we had more characters like her. That's a strong female lead done right imo. And the character dynamics are wholesome too. I'm sure people on this board will call it basic, but I dont care.

            A little weird how they just casually ignore the magic, but, i kinda welcome it too. A touch of fantasy makes it more comfy. I also like how the dialogue feels more from a play than a book (like most movies did back then, but I suppose I never really noticed until watching this).

            9/10 I would give it. Overall i see why you all love Mrs Brisby, she's a gem. And I hope her children grow up to be able to take care of her in her old age 🙂

    Have you ever watched the Secret of Nimh audio commentary?

      No, actually. I know it's on the Bluray, but I put off buying it for a long time, hoping they would release a better version of the movie. In other words, a version that comes with the open matte copy. I would rather watch in something that is closer to 4:3, but not have a part of the film cut and thrown away. I want to pay for complete artwork, not something cut or compromised.

      And yes, I know the 2 DVD version comes with that, but that's not ache deee.

    Didn't read the thread. OP that's a good romantic image. Tender, without being schlocky. Intimate, without being pornographic.
    Good stuff. Even the pendant hung on the bedpost is a very nice, intimate detail showing that she's in an unguarded moment with him. I bet a woman drew this one.

      No, but holy SHIT is that a close thing. We need more animated movies that COULD have taken place in the world of live-action movies...but without cheesily mentioning them.

    can rats and mice hybridize? It seems like they should be able to.

      No, they're more different than you think. Same goes for rabbits and hares not being able to crossbreed.

        Literally every scene with Nicodemus in it. Including the opening of the film. Are you sure you've even watched the movie at all?

          that's not magic, that's telekinesis

            1. What's the practical difference?
            2. If telekinesis is magic, then magic is telekinesis. So it's magic, no matter how you call it.

            Cope.

      Imagine waking up and the first and only thing you can think of before you go back to sleep is mutilated genitals.

    The movie was pretty much a completed comic in the storyboard form. Don overdid it, and it's beautiful. The credits show some of the storyboards.
