The Secret of NIMH reviews

The Secret of NIMH holds a 7.4/10 average from 986 TMDB ratings.

— RealZero (10/10)

A widowed field mouse must move her family -- including an ailing son -- to escape a farmer's plow. Aided by a crow and a pack of superintelligent, escaped lab rats, the brave mother struggles to transplant her home to firmer ground.
