Rats of NIMH

Last updated

The Rats of NIMH is a trilogy of children's books, the first one by Robert C. O'Brien, and the second and third by his daughter Jane Leslie Conly. [1] They tell the story of a society of rats rendered intelligent by scientific experimentation.

The books are:

  1. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (1971), by Robert C. O'Brien, winner of the Newbery Medal
  2. Racso and the Rats of NIMH (1986), by Jane Leslie Conly
  3. R-T, Margaret, and the Rats of NIMH (1990), by Jane Leslie Conly

In 1982, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH became the basis for the animated film The Secret of NIMH , the directorial debut of Don Bluth. In 1998, a sequel to the film called The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue was released. The sequel has no connection to Racso and the Rats of NIMH and was met with poor reception.

A live-action/animated remake was reported to be in development; James Madigan was attached to direct. [2]
