(Walt Disney Pictures Logo and 20th Century Studios Logo appears)

The movie begins with a book opening in a spotlight, it shows the clips from the very beginning.

Narrator: In the very beginning, they used to be ordinary rats until they were captured by NIMH, alias the National Institute for Mental Health. The humans made the rats go through the most horrid tests. But then, something amazing happened, the rats became... intelligent, and they also gained the ability to read. The rats and a few mice from NIMH decided to escape through the ventilation system, and if it had not been for Jonathan Brisby, the rats would have never escaped. But somewhere along the way, Jonathan died helping the Rats of NIMH. Sometime after his death, his widow Mrs. Brisby became desperate trying to save her youngest son Timothy from the plow of Farmer Paul Fitzgibbons. Out of desperation, Mrs. Brisby went to the Great Owl for help. After her adventures, Timothy was well on his way to recovery from pneumonia. Years passed, and Timothy was chosen to go to Thorn Valley to follow in his father’s footsteps. After infiltrating NIMH to rescue the rest of the mice from imprisonment, he tries to think things through. And as NIMH burned, Thorn Valley celebrated. But that was only the beginning, it is said that Nicodemus also predicted that the sons and daughters of Jonathan Brisby will save all innocence near and far from Thorn Valley from every evil including those of NIMH.

At last, the title shows “The Secret of NIMH 3: Return to Thorn Valley”.

One morning in Thorn Valley, Tim was checking in on his pregnant wife Jenny.

Timothy Brisby: Good morning, Jenny. How are you?

Jenny Brisby: The usual, Tim. So, what’s next now that we’re having babies?

Timothy Brisby: Well, I’ve been keeping in touch with Teresa, Martin and Cynthia now that they’re on their separate ways for new lives of their own.

Jenny Brisby: But at least you got your mother and Auntie Shrew in Thorn Valley.

Timothy Brisby: Yep, they always come to visit to see how everything's going.

Jenny Brisby: I can hardly wait, Tim. Soon, our family will be here in Thorn Valley to meet the new arrivals.

Auntie Shrew: (knocking on the door offscreen) Timothy!

Timothy Brisby: Same old Auntie Shrew, I’ll get it.

Jenny Brisby: Well, I’ve got a bunch of little ones getting hungrier than me.

While Jenny started eating some cheese and strawberries, Tim opened the door to see his mother and Auntie Shrew paying a visit.

Timothy Brisby: Hi, Mom. Hi, Auntie Shrew. How’s the council meeting in Thorn Valley coming?

Mrs. Brisby: Same as always, Tim, always making decisions as usual.

Auntie Shrew: I hope your wife is taking good care of herself.

Timothy Brisby: Don’t worry, Auntie Shrew, she’s eating well enough.

Jenny Brisby: (finished eating) Hi, Auntie Shrew, Mrs. Brisby.

Mrs. Brisby: And how are you and my grandchildren doing?

Jenny Brisby: Getting healthier while eating. (rubbing her pregnant belly) It’s been at least two weeks since my little ones started to grow a bit.

Auntie Shrew: Your mother and I have been meaning to speak to you, Timothy.

Mrs. Brisby: Mr. Ages and Justin wanted to see you, they made a huge discovery on the final pages on the manuscript written by Nicodemus.

Timothy Brisby: I’ll be right there, Mom. Can you and Auntie Shrew look after Jenny until I get back?

Mrs. Brisby: Of course, Tim.

Auntie Shrew: We’ll see you out there.

Timothy Brisby: I’ll be back soon, Jenny. And in case I don’t get back, say “Hi” to your parents for me.

Jenny Brisby: Don’t worry about me, Tim, they’ll come soon. (as they kissed) See you back home.

And so, Tim took one last look at his wife, mother and godmother as he took off.

As soon as Tim met with Mr. Ages and Justin at the library, there was a big discovery.

Timothy Brisby: Mr. Ages, Justin, my mom and Auntie Shrew told me you wanted to see me. What’s going on?

Mr. Ages: I’ve been looking at the pages of the manuscript Nicodemus has written, I’d even stopped at the final page from the prophecy he has predicted.

Justin: Take a look, Tim.

Just as Mr. Ages shows Tim the manuscript of Nicodemus, it was in the final page.

Mr. Ages: It says here on the final page that the sons and daughters of Jonathan Brisby will protect all innocence near and far from Thorn Valley from every evil including those of NIMH.

Timothy Brisby: That means not only I fit the bill, so does my older brother Martin, and my sisters, Teresa and Cynthia as well.

Justin: Exactly, you’re the first to carry on your father’s legacy of heroism, so it'll be all up to you to lead your brother and sisters to form the resistance against all evil including those of NIMH.

With that, Tim has to hurry home to let his mother, Auntie Shrew and Jenny know what mission he's on.

Chapter 2: A New Journey Begins
Suddenly, Brutus came with a few rat scouts to see Tim, Justin and Mr. Ages.

Timothy Brisby: What’s going on, Brutus?

Brutus: Something’s coming our way on a flying machine! It could be from NIMH.

But as soon as Tim looked through the binoculars, there was Martin Brisby bringing along some refugees from India including a pair of cheetahs and a chinese crocodile lizard guarding Martin's back.

Martin Brisby: (after the flying machine landed) Hi, Tim.

Timothy Brisby: Martin! (as they chuckled and gave each other the biggest brotherly hug happily)

Martin Brisby: Long time no see, Hero!

Timothy Brisby: I really missed you!

Martin Brisby: Missed you, too, Tim, the bravest little brother I’ve ever had!

Timothy Brisby: You’re the only brother I’d ever had.

Martin Brisby: Justin, Mr. Ages, it’s been a while since my rescue from NIMH.

Justin: Welcome back, Martin, I see you’ve brought some visitors.

Martin Brisby: Yes, I came all this way from India and brought these mice seeking refuge. (as the leader came) This is Dalaque, he leads the refugees, I've taught him to pilot our flying mahchine and brought his colony to Thorn Valley in need of shelter.
