Description

I was lucky enough to grab a spot on David's list for C2E2 and while I had several ideas (I'll definitely be trying to get on his list again), this, as David would say, was within his wheelhouse. "The Secret of Nimh" is a movie that I've always loved, based on the book "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh". The "Mrs. Frisby" name in the novel had to be changed to "Mrs. Brisby" during production of the movie due to trademark concerns with Frisbee discs during 1982. Thank you David for this spotlight piece!

Really nice piece by David! Also, I never knew about the reason behind the name change for the film!
