Who played the voice of Mrs. Brisby in The Secret of NIMH?
The Secret of NIMH
Goldman described the casting process as "exciting, fun, and sometimes strange". He stated that focusing on the characteristics of each character, the voices, and acting abilities were crucial, saying that using voices that added to a movie's texture was part of the team's philosophy in the development of a film. Goldman found the strangest casting decision to be Dom DeLuise for Jeremy the Crow, which Goldman, Bluth, and Pomeroy had considered after they watched the 1978 film "The End". Elizabeth Hartman was cast as Mrs. Brisby, with Goldman calling her performance in "A Patch of Blue" "so believable and sincere that we all felt that she was right for the part." Pomeroy suggested Derek Jacobi, who starred in the 1976 miniseries "I Claudius," to play the part of Nicodemus. Peter Strauss, whom the team previously saw in another miniseries from 1976, "Rich Man, Poor Man", was cast as Justin. Paul Shenar was assigned to play Jenner; the staff liked his "dark, powerful voice". Shakespearean actor John Carradine was "perfect for the dark, ominous Great Owl", while Aldo Ray was assigned to voice Sullivan, whom Goldman said "also had a great distinctive voice".
