The things that are the same in the book and movie are the rats live in the rose bush. Another similarity is the rats were almost exterminated but Mrs. Frisby warned them.
The movie is quite different than the book because Jenner killed Nicodemus by causing Mrs. Frisbys’ home to fall on him. Also in the movie Jenner and Justin fought because he wanted Mrs. Frisbys’ necklace. Also Mr. Ages lived in a piece of old equipment.
In the book Jenner was already gone because he didn’t like the plan to move. In the book Nicodemus was missing an eye because of Dragon. Also one rat died in the toxic gas.

The book and movie Comparison
I really liked the book Mrs. Frisby and the rats of NIMH and the movie, and, The Secret of NIMH also. The movie and the book were so dramatically different and the same time, so a like. Even thought the movie was way shorter than the book I liked that their was some new material mixed because it was only based on the book and not completely the same.
Some of the differences I discovered were that Mrs. Frisby had to save her house by moving it into the lee of the stone (because of the plough) and to do that she would ask the rats for help. When the rats finally agree to help, Nicodemous goes to watch how the move is going. Finally when they finished moving the house the exterminators come the next day and smoke out 2 of the four rats on guard. When Mrs. Frisby was trapped in the Fitzgibbons house Mr. Fitzgibbon was talking about the scientists coming to the town to investigate some peculiar activity in the rats. That just about sums up the book.
While in the movie the rat’s events went the same, the movie had Nicodemus dying, Jenner still in the colony, and Mrs. Frisby had a magical amulet.
Over all I like the book and the movie all the same.

Mrs. Frisby and the rats of Nimh
In my grade seven class we read “Mrs. Frisby and the rats of Nimh,” we also watched, “The Secret Nimh”. It’s the same idea but the events happen at different times.
In the book and the movie I spotted a couple of similarities, so here they are. I’ve noticed that there are rats, Mrs. Frisby’s still in there and so is Dragon. They also managed to squeeze in how Mrs. Frisby snuck into Mr. Fitzgibbon’s house to put powder in Dragon’s food, also the hole that the rats found to sneak in to Mr. Fitzgibbon’s house to place the powder in Dragon’s food. Another thing is that the rats moved to Thorn Valley. All the same characters in there.
Now that we talked over the similarities let’s talk about the differences. Here are some differences I’ve noticed. The necklace that Mrs.Frisby was given not magical in the book but in the movie it lit up to get the kids and the house out of the mud. Nicodemus doesn’t die in the book but he dies in the movie. In the book the settings were the laboratory and around the farm but in the movie the settings were at the farm and where the rats got the powder ready. Another thing I noticed that the cylinder that Mrs. Frisby lived in, did not sink but in the movie it sunk.
So as you can see what you read it books does not always happen in the movies.
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH comparison
In the book of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, Mr. Ages was open-minded and kind, the lady shrew was not mean until the rats came to move Mrs. Frisby’s house but even then she was just worried that the rats were stealing Mrs. Frisby’s house, the shrew was smaller than the mice, Martin (Mrs. Frisby’s eldest son) was 1.Patient, 2.Intelligent, and 3.Gentle, Jeremy was not the smartest crow, but not the dumbest crow, and last but certainly not least THE BOOK WAS EXCELLENT!!!
In the movie however… Mr. Ages was Grumpy and rude, the shrew… well name explains her personality in the movie, Martin was insensitive and dumb, and Jeremy was careless about everything he did, AND THE MOVIE WAS HORRIBLE!!!
The similarities are that Mrs. Frisby, Jeremy, Nicodemus, Timothy, Cynthia, Teresa, the shrew, Justin, and Mr. Ages were all in the book and in the movie.
So basically the book was absolutely amazing! But the movie was just painful to watch after reading such a good book. My advice to you if you haven’t watched the movie of Mrs. Frisby... PLEASE DON’T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Movie and Book Comparison
The movie and the book are the same because they have the same characters, the inside of the inside of the rosebush is described the same and so is the Fitzgibbon house.
The movie and the book are different because the movie went by faster, there was a lot of action like Justin and Jenner were fighting, and Mrs. Frisby had magical powers when she touched the amulet Nicodemus gave her, the house fell in mud, Jenner cut the rope that was holding Mrs. Frisby’s and all that didn’t happen in the book.
In the book there were more details about the characters. In the book Jenner was gone before Mrs. Frisby came to visit the rats in the rosebush. The both ending’s were different.

Comparison
The book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh was quite a bit different from the movie The Secret of Nimh. The characters are different in a lot of ways. In the book Mrs. Frisby never met or saw Jenner before but in the movie she meets him. In the book Nicodemus lives while in the movie he dies. In the movie Jeremy meets another crow and in the book he doesn’t meet anyone. In the movie Mrs. Fribys name is Mrs. Brisby.
The actions are different too. In the book there’s no amulet and in the movie there is one. In the movie the stool Billy was sitting on over the food in the book wasn’t there in the movie. Also while they were moving Mrs. Frisby’s house in the movie it fell but in the book the house didn’t fall.That’s a few things that are different about the book and movie!

Similarities and Differences in the Characters
The characters and their actions are quite different in the book and in the movie. It really disappointed me in a lot of ways. There weren’t many similarities to be honest.
The differences were unreal! In the book, Jenner had already been gone, but in the movie Jenner was there and he was very evil. He tried to kill Mrs. Frisby, and had killed Nicodemus so that he could be in charge of all the rats. Nicodemus in the book wasn’t scary looking or old, but in the movie he was. Mrs. Frisby didn’t have magic powers in the book but she did in the movie. Also, in the movie Mrs. Frisby fell in the water while helping Jeremy nor did she loose her medicine that Mr. Ages made for Timothy. That didn’t happen in the book. Jeremy never met a girl crow in the novel, but did in the movie. The shrew (which was their neighbor) wasn’t the kid’s aunt, nor was she cranky in the book but she was in the movie! That really surprised me! At the end of the novel, Martin had said he wanted to go visit the rats and to figure out why they helped his family and which one died, so basically he wanted to know more about them. In the book Mrs. Frisby’s name wasn’t Mrs. Brisby, but it was in the movie! Also in the book, Paul was a character living at Mr. Fitzgibbons house, but in the movie he wasn’t existing.
The Similarities in the book and the movie were that they were the same amount of rats in the movie and in the novel, just different personalities and actions. Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgibbon were the same except for the fact I thought they’d be older. Also, Billy is the same I pictured while reading the book, in the movie. Mrs. Frisby and the children aren’t any different in their looks as I also pictured in the novel. Jeremy was dumb in the movie as well in the novel.

Similarities and Differences !
Similarities and Differences
This book has plenty of similarities and differences.
One of the similarities is that Jeremy needs Mrs.Frisby’s help. In the book, Jeremy gets all tied up and needs Mrs.Frisby’s help to get untied, same as in the movie! Another similarity is the owl. He told Mrs.Frisby to go to the rats and tell them to move the house to the lee of the stone in the book and in the movie.
There are plenty of differences than there are similarities though. For example, in the book Jenner is gone before Mrs.Frisby even meets the rats. But in the movie, he is killed at the end. Also, in the movie, Jonathan’s stone gave Mrs.Frisby magical powers but in the book, it didn’t. Another one, is Mrs.Frisby’s name. In the book, it was Mrs.Frisby, but in the book, it was Mrs.Brisby.

Rats of Nimh Project
Action
The events were completely different. All the events happened differently. I think the biggest difference was that Nicodemius died in the movie but not in the book.
Another big difference is when the house was lifted by Mrs. Bisby/Frisby with a stone that enchanted the rope allowing her to lift the brick and set it in the hole in the movie but it never happened in the book.
Characters
I find the characters seem to have different personalities. Like in the novel I I had the sense that Mr. Ages was nice buts he’s actually a cranky old man.
The other change was Mrs. Frisby switched to Mrs. Bisby which they didn’t need to do at all.

The Rats Of NIMH S.A
This book was very... interesting. I think the best part was when the rats found the toy tinkers truck. the movie and book were different which confused me. I enjoyed the book more then the movie because the movie left out/created new scenes I thought that wasn’t very good. I would rate this book 8 out of ten but the movie would be a 3.
The book was out of all the best. Mrs Frisby was just a regular mouse but she ends up going on a HUGE adventure to save her house. this book wasn’t choppy at all it gave really good description of who the characters are like Justin Jeremy and Nicodemus. They didn’t have secret powers.
The movie was extremely different such as the adventure the characters and the whole story line. I really disliked the whole movie because as soon as they started Mrs. Frisby on her journey to see Mr.Ages. But she talked about how sick he was getting in the first of the book.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh:Comparison
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh was a marvelous book and The Secret of Nimh was a magnificent movie. But I was kind of disappointed of all the changes with the action. One of the actions that were the same was when the rats helped the Frisby’s move their house. Also the names of the characters were the same.
The differences from the book to the movie was that it said in the book that the doctor went to Mr. Fitzgibbon’s house and they dug up Mrs. Fitzgibbon’s beautiful rosebush. In the movie, it didn’t show a scene were they did that. Also I had noticed that in the book it took quite a few chapters to tell and describe the horrible time they had at the lab but in the movie, it took maybe 30 seconds. I would have liked to see a little more details of their bad time in the lab. Also it didn’t say anything thing about the toy Tinker and it never said anything about the Boniface Estate.
The differences from the movie to the book were that it showed Mrs. Frisby’s house sinking in mud. It didn’t say anything about that in the book and it also showed that Jenner was still there when the rats moved the house. Also one thing I found that was a lot different in the movie that wasn’t in the book was that Jenner killed Nicodemus and Justin was Jenner were having a swordfight.

Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH: Comparison
There are a few things I’ve seen in the movie that are very different from the book. The title of the movie is "The Secret Of Nimh," Many parts have started earlier in the movie than in the book. In the movie she seemed to have went earlier and faster to see the rats.
I guess you could say the movie was sort of rushed. Did you ever realize that Nicodemus looks a little bigger and more ferocious in the movie, than how described in the book? In the book there were no stools, and Dragons bowl wasn’t taken to the other side of the kitchen, Mrs Frisby also had no trouble pouring the sleeping powder into his bowl either.
The book title is "Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh."
In the book Mrs. Frisby went to see the rats closer to the middle of the story. It seemed as if Nicodemus was described as ferocious and big, but for some reason in the movie he seemed bigger and stronger? Also in the book it says that when Mrs Frisby goes to give Dragon the sleeping powder, the Fitzgibon’s had rearranged there kitchen, so that dragon’s bowl was on the other side of the kitchen instead of the side she thought it would be on. There were also stools in her way.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH: Comparison
In this book there are many differences from the movie. There are so many differences that it made me confused.
The characters in this book are very different. Mrs. Frisby was Mrs. Vrisby in the movie. Jenner was supposed to be gone when Mrs. Frisby went to see the rats. Jenner killed Nicodemus when they were moving the house. When Justin and Jenner where fighting Jenner stabbed Justin. Then a rat that was injured threw a knife and hit Jenner in the back.
I thought the Fitzgibbons house was going to be a small run down farm house. The farm house was big and very nice.
