Mrs. Brisby, a widowed mouse, lives in a cinder block with her children on the Fitzgibbon farm. She is preparing to move her family out of the field they live in as plowing time approaches, however her son Timothy has fallen ill, and moving him could prove fatal. Mrs. Brisby visits The Great Owl, a wise creature who advises her to visit a mysterious group of rats who live beneath a rose bush on the farm. Upon visiting the rats, Brisby meets Nicodemus, the wise and mystical leader of the rats, and Justin, a friendly rat who immediately becomes attached to Mrs. Brisby. While there, she learns that her late husband, Mr. Jonathon Brisby, along with the rats, was a part of a series of experiments at a place known only as N.I.M.H. (revealed earlier in the story as the National Institute of Mental Health). The experiments performed on the mice and rats there boosted their intelligence, allowing them to read without being taught and to understand things such as complex mechanics and electricity. The rats and Mr. Brisby escaped from N.I.M.H. and came to live on the Fitzgibbon farm. The rats created a home for themselves under Mrs. Fitzgibbon’s rose bush, creating an elaborate habitation of beautiful chambers, elevators, and Christmas lights. However, the rats are unhappy in their dependence on the humans, who they are stealing electricity from, and have concocted a plan to leave the farm and live independently. Because of her husband’s prior relationship with the rats, they agree to help Mrs. Brisby move her home out of the path of the plow. However, the evil Jenner and his unwilling accomplice Sullivan, who wish to remain beneath the rose bush, yet plot to kill Nicodemus during the move.

When I was younger I thought this was the scariest movie ever ?
ok but like I'm only now able to actually follow the plot and shit man its actually good, and like on top of the animation and voice acting and characters and everything this is fukin 10/10
so glad I checked my recommended tab tonight, truly one of my favorite childhood classics.
Lol i saw this in 5th grade
Can we all take a sec to appreciate how well animated all the string is
eww DRM
lol
"bless you sir"
"no bless yourself your gonna need it"
This is better then frozen
The horrible truth that the only other mice that are intelligent are your siblings… uh oh.
I was so excited to watch this,,, then i saw the ads. Nothing's worth being forced to watch ads over. I'll just check it out from the Library. Thank you for reminding me of this movie though.
Did anyone just hear Justin say damn? It's not too common in a G-rated movie just say the word damn. But still I'm not offended by it.
What? I didn't know that this was free to watch!
My favorite childhood film !! <3
🙂
I remember I used to call this The Secret of Mouse, lol
okay so I rediscovered this from my childhood but even researching it now i dont get it 100%
I loved the animation and all the characters but my suspension of disbelief is railing on me. I can buy genetically altered super rats just fine, but where does the magic rock fit into this equation?
Also could Jenner be anymore evil? Like he murked the old dude and his friend. I do like how he got stabbed in the back tho. very clever.
Otherwise JESUS man I watched this as a kid and that was pretty intense revisiting. Fucking blood and stabbings in this kids film. Very dark. Nothing like the pussified stuff on now a days. Let's pretend that the sequel doesn't exist and this didn't contribute to the rise of furries.
Anyone knows what happened to Her Husband?
Why did they change her name to Mrs. Brisby, in the novel it was Mrs Frisby?
I kind of feel bad for Timothy, as he had fell ill
ah hell yeah!!!!
Over an hour long movie about a fuckin rat family. I'd smash them to death with my shovel.

Never watched this because I figured it was some happy-feely Disney movie with no depth to it. 20 minutes in right now and I'm enthralled.
?????????????????
@59:48 me when S.O. and I pass the jewelry store
I've been looking for this movie for AGES!
@32:05 Jeremy and his Underpants Disguise kills me every time.
Don't know if it was just me but I like tripped out when the lullaby came on after she gave Timmy the water with herbs, It just brought back so many memories.
Best kids movie
This can't be happening! One of my favorite movies for free!
I'm glad that this is still free, but I'm mad that "all dogs go to heaven" isn't-
Why the heck is this free??
