i remember watching this movie a lot as a kid. the only reason i watched it was because the mama mouse moves her whole cinder block house with the magical amulet. i did not understand a thing about what was happening beyond the house had to move because the farmer was going to plow it down where it stood.
images found through google image search watching it again last week i realized how much cooler the story line actually is. there are many layers to it. i want to live in a rosebush lair designed by the rats of nimh, as long as they have perfected using electricity not stolen from someone's house/farm. if this is a movie that you watch as a kid, but have not recently viewed, i suggest you revisit mrs. brisby and her drama. i should mention that husband sat and watched it with me. he rarely ever will watch an animated film.
watch it on hulu

I remember that we (the kids) had to "read" this story together with Dad before we could go see it in the theater. I am not sure we finished on time, but I remember seeing the movie being a BIG deal.
I think I may need to watch it again.
