But when Mrs. Brisby discovers the astounding secret of NIMH...it could change her life forever! This timeless tale of love, courage and determination will transport the whole family into an enchanting world where the bravest hearts live in the meekest of mice. (official distributor synopsis)

A pleasantly different cartoon that I'll definitely like to watch again sometime. It has an imaginative story, whose main character is a caring mouse mother from the family and not any of her teenage offspring, it is unusually suspenseful and action-packed at times (a fight with a cat) and even scary (an owl), and in the finale blood flows and people die... Nowadays, such a film would certainly stand up to scrutiny, as both children and adults will find something to enjoy, and the latter need not be ashamed of watching a "fairytale". And lest I forget, The Secret of NIMH has a great score by Jerry Goldsmith.
