Summary:
Secret of NIMH (82 mins.): Faced with the need to move her family from a farmer's field while her Timothy is seriously ill, a widowed mouse seeks help from a group of rats whose unwilling participation in experiments at a place called NIMH has made them wise and long lived -- NIMH 2 (68 mins.): Timmy Brisby, the youngest son of Jonathan Brisby who once saved them from an evil place called NIMH, will go through hero training 101. But before he even has a chance to graduate, Timmy must put his new skills to the test, when his friend Jenny asks him to help her find her parents, who may have been kidnapped by the nefarious human scientists of the National Institute of Mental Health. Timmy is at once anxious to prove his courage and heads out to save the day.
