The haunting 1982 adaptation of the children’s book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, The Secret of NIMH, is famous for traumatising a generation of kids, with the very title no doubt rekindling dark memories long buried.
Well, good news, because Fox is bringing the Rats of NIMH back in the form of an animated event series.
While The Secret of NIMH did spawn a sequel with 1998’s direct-to-video The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue, the less said about that particular animated venture the better.
The Secret of NIMH received widespread critical acclaim upon release, and holds an approval rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.
