The Secret of NIMH

1 It was followed in 1998 by a direct-to-video sequel called The Secret of

NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue, which was made without Bluth's input or

consent.


The Secret of NIMH - Plot

1 Ages, were part of a series of experiments at a place known as

NIMH, the National Institute of Mental Health



1 While trapped in a birdcage, she overhears a telephone conversation

between Farmer Fitzgibbons and NIMH and learns that the Institute intends to exterminate the rats the

next day



1 Brisby arrives and tries to convince the rats that NIMH is coming and

they must leave, but Jenner calls her a liar, attacks her, and attempts to

take the amulet from her neck


The Secret of NIMH - Production

1 The Secret of NIMH was the first feature film to be directed

by Don Bluth


The Secret of NIMH - Production

1 Among the techniques experimented with on The Secret of NIMH were rotoscoping,

multiple passes on the camera to achieve transparent shadows, and backlit animation (where animated matte (filmmaking)|mattes are shot with light shining through color gels to produce glowing areas for artificial light and fire effects), multiple color palettes for

characters to fit in different lighting situations, from daylight, to night, to warm

environments, to underwater


The Secret of NIMH - Soundtrack

1 The Secret of NIMH: Original Soundtrack contains songs from the film written by Jerry Goldsmith, and performed by Paul Williams

(songwriter)|Paul H. Williams and Sally Stevens. It was released on July 2, 1982 on gramophone record|vinyl and audio cassette and re-released on March 3, 1995 on CD with a rearranged track listing.[http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/secret_nimh.html The Secret of NIMH] soundtrack review

The Secret of NIMH - Release

1 However, as a result of its release and competition with other summer

fare, NIMH ultimately made a disappointing $14,665,733 in North

America, though it was more successful on home video, cable, and

foreign release, ultimately putting the film in the black.


The Secret of NIMH - Reception

1 The American Film Institute nominated The Secret of NIMH for its

AFI's 10 Top 10#Animation|Top 10 Animated Films

list,[http://www.afi.com/drop/ballot.pdf AFI's 10 Top 10 Ballot] but it did

not make the final list.


The Secret of NIMH - Video

1 The Secret of NIMH debuted on video in 1983. With a $79 purchase price, it

sold 25,000 copies within the first few months. It was rereleased on

video in 1990 in a new advertising campaign and a $20 purchase price. It was its availability on video as well as cable that helped NIMH garner a

cult following.


The Secret of NIMH - Video

1 In 2010, The Secret of NIMH and its sequel The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue were released together

as a Double Feature double-sided DVD from 20th Century Fox Home

Entertainment (though it carries the 1998 un-restored print).


John B. Calhoun - Calhoun and Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

1 Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, by Robert C. O'Brien (author)|Robert C. O'Brien and published in 1971, was

inspired by Calhoun's work. The book later inspired an animated film, The

Secret of NIMH.


NiMH

1 A NiMH battery can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent size NiCd, and their energy density approaches that of a Lithium-ion

battery|lithium-ion cell.


NiMH

1 The typical specific energy for small NiMH cells is about 100watt-hour|W·h/kg, and for

larger NiMH cells about 75W·h/kg (270kJ/kg). This is significantly better than the typical 40–60W·h/kg for NiCd, and similar to the 100–160W·h/kg for lithium-ion batteries. NiMH has a volumetric energy density of

about 300W·h/Liter|L (1,080MJ/m3), significantly better than NiCd at 50–

150W·h/L, and about the same as lithium-ion at 250–360W·h/L.


NiMH

1 Useful discharge capacity is a decreasing function of the discharge rate, but up to a rate of around 1×C (full discharge in one hour), it does

not differ significantly from the nominal capacity.See graph, p.8 of NiMH batteries nominally operate at 1.2V per cell, somewhat lower than

conventional 1.5V cells, but will operate many devices designed for

that voltage.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

NiMH

1 About 22% of portable rechargeable batteries sold in Japan in 2010 were NiMH.

In Switzerland in 2009, the equivalent statistic was approximately 60%. This

percentage has fallen over time due to the increase in manufacture of Lithium-ion battery|lithium-ion batteries: in 2000,

almost half of all portable rechargeable batteries sold in Japan were NiMH. By 2011,

NiMH only represented about 22% of secondary batteries.


NiMH

1 The significant disadvantage of NiMH batteries is the high rate of self-

discharge; NiMH batteries typically lose 4% of their charge per day of

storage. In 2005, a low self-discharge (LSD) variant was developed. LSD NiMH batteries significantly lower self-discharge, but at the cost of lowering capacity by about 20%.


Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

1 'Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH' is a 1971 children's book by Robert C. O'Brien (author)|Robert C. O'Brien,

with illustrations by Zena Bernstein. The winner of the 1972 Newbery

Medal, the story was Film adaptation|adapted for film in 1982 as The

Secret of NIMH.


Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH - Plot summary

1 Ages were the only two survivors of a group of eight mice who had been

part of the experiments at NIMH, and made the rats' escape possible


Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH - Related works

1 O'Brien's daughter, Jane Leslie Conly, wrote two other novels based on the rats of NIMH. Racso and the Rats of NIMH tells the story of a city rat who

runs away to join the new colony, befriending Timothy, while saving the colony from a flood along the way. In R-T, Margaret, and the Rats of NIMH,

the rats rescue two lost human children who in turn help to save the

colony before winter.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html
