Two cartoon mice stand next to each other - the one on the left has brown fur and is wearing a red top, whilst the one on the right is white and grey, with spectacles and large bushy white eyebrows.

About Colour Box: The Secret Of NIMH

A classic 1980s hand-drawn animation from director Don Bluth, The Secret Of NIMH centres on a field mouse who, to help her son, must seek the aid of a colony of rats, with whom she has a deeper link than she ever suspected.

Before the screening, join the Colour Box team in the Performance Studio from 10am for an hour long drop-in workshop for ages 3-12.

Please note: this is a relaxed screening that includes subtitles (dialogue only).
