Poster for The Secret of NIMH. A crow and a mouse wearing a red cloak look at a red orb on different sides of it. They stand on top of wooden roots framing the title of the film that also has several characters from the film in the same dark color of the roots. Behind them all is a blast of yellow and white light forming a starburst of jagged edges. Towering behind them is an old rat in a black cloak with a long white beard, staff, and yellow eyes. Behind him is a giant owl with red eyes.
