This is the place for questions related to The Secret of NIMH but not specifically related to Thorn Valley. If you have a question you would like to see answered here, please contact me.
- Is Thorn Valley a real place? Where is it located?
- The short answer is no, Thorn Valley is a fictional place. However, it is likely based on some of the areas that Robert C. O'Brien lived near or visited often. As an aside, NIMH is a real place in Maryland. So, assuming the rats had wandered for around 2-3 years before settling on the Fitzgibbon's farm, the most likely areas for them to end up would be somewhere in the Appalacians of Virginia or West Virginia. But, again, no place named Thorn Valley exists in any location near NIMH.
- Will there be a NIMH 3?
- It's extremely unlikely. In the past, the only real support for this possibility was a page on the IMDB that had an entry for The Secret of NIMH 3: The Beginning. However, the page has since been removed and no other official mention has been made since then. More information can be found in this forum post.
- Is there a widescreen version of The Secret of NIMH?
- Yes, there is. The Secret of NIMH 2 Disc 'Family Fun' Edition (yeah, I know it's a hokey title) contains the movie in widescreen and fullscreen formats, and is significantly improved over its original DVD release. See also my review of this DVD. Prior to this, you could only get a Region 2 disc with a widescreen version of NIMH.
- How can I get a copy of the Secret of NIMH soundtrack?
- Contrary to popular belief, the soundtrack to the Secret of NIMH is not a rare item. As far as I am aware, it is still in print, in fact. However, it is rare enough that your average music store won't have it in stock, so your best bet is to grab a copy online. Here are a few places you can find a copy:
