MGM studios first brought us, “The Secret of Nimh” which was directed by Don Bluth and was released in the year 1982. “Secret of Nimh” animated film was adapted from the famous children’s book, “Mrs. Frisby and the rats of NIMH” by Robert C. O’ Brien. The character of the female mouse, Mrs. Frisby was renamed, Mrs. Brisby for Don Bluth’s film.

In the new, “Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH”, story will be entirely focused on the original book. This is an adaptation from the novel, it is not remake. They plan to make this new movie a mixture of both live action and animation. The new “NIMH” movie will be brought to us by Paramount Pictures.

This was one of my favorite films as a child. I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. The new “Nimh” movie could be good if made right, as long as they stay true with the novel which the Don Bluth version didn’t, then it could be really good.
