Continuity mistake: At one point during "Flying Dreams" when Timothy is being cared for by Mrs. Brisby and the other children gather at his bedside, his left arm appears in various positions as the shots change - instantly on top of and then beneath the quilt. (00:18:35)
Teresa: Oh! Auntie Shrew.
Cynthia: Oh, Auntie.
Martin: Oh, no.
Trivia: The main character, Mrs. Brisby, is called Mrs. Frisby in the book the based the film. The name Mrs. Brisby had to be used because the trademark for the toy "Frisbee" was taken.
Question: If Jonathan and Mr. Ages were the only mice to survive the escape from NIMH, then where did all the other intelligent mice come from? Did one or both of them father a new generation of intelligent mice? Mrs. Brisby's marriage to Jonathan makes this all a little confusing.
Answer: What other intelligent mice? I have watched the movie many times and I don't remember seeing any other intelligent mice. The mice that tried to escape with the rats were sucked down the ventilation shafts, so we don't know what happened to them.
Answer: Mrs. Brisby tells Nicodemus that Jonathan had been teaching her to read and her children as well. The children were better at reading that she was but that might be something that they inherited from their father. I think Mr. Ages was also able to read so that makes him intelligent as well. Remember the injections that the mice and rats were given also gave them the ability to read.
