The Secret of NIMH

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
The film, released in 1982, tells the story of a widowed field mouse, Mrs. Brisby, who attempts to find help to save her son Timothy. Timmy has taken ill with pneumonia, and therefore cannot leave the Brisby home to avoid the spring plowing.
The name Brisby was originally recorded as Frisby but was changed during post-production to avoid potential trademark problems with the word Frisbee.
