    So I guess they made a secret movie about The Rats from The Witcher that you can only watch after you finish Season 4 of The Witcher. It's a fun time, and the Rats are fun characters but Netflix... You had the Six of Crows books RIGHT THERE and didn't renew it.

    Books to film 📚=🎞️ Mrs Frisby & the Rats of Nimh (1971) by Robert O'Brien was adapted to film by Don Bluth as The Secret of Nimh (1982). The animated film adds tension, "magic" (as the book is science focused), & a simpler motive for the Rat society's desire for independence. 🐀🧪✨ #filmsky #booksky

    Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (and the movie adaptation The Secret of Nimh) starts off like any children's tale: talking animals, cozy cottages, and epic quests. But Robert C O'Brien's novel takes an unexpected science fiction twist...

    The Rats Are Coming-The Werewolves Are Here (1972) is praised by "trash cinema" fans for being unintentionally hilarious. The absurd characters, the shabby werewolf effects, and the melodramatic performances make it a notable piece of exploitation history. #horror #horrormovies #horrorsky

    I’m sorry, but you did miss out on something special. I have never seen either movie, but I did read "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH” in fifth grade, and it still brings me joy to think about it. It’s one of the “read as a kid” books I bought for my “as a grown up” collection. Definite Nostalgia 🥰

    'Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH'. It's one of those cases of the movie version displacing people's awareness of the original book. Which is a genuine shame, as it's a fantastic fantasy that is sufficiently realistic that many children might not realize it's really a sort of fairy tale.

    Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien Read this with my little one. It was a lot less scary than the movie that terrified me when I was young. It drags in the middle a bit when Nicodemus tells you his backstory for like six chapters. Son and I loved it though. Very charming!
