History[]

The Secret of NIMH (1982)[]

In the Film, Jeremy appears when Mrs. Brisby returns from Mr. Ages through a fallen tree. She encounters him trying to free himself from red string which he says is for a nest; Mrs. Brisby begins to remove the string but Jeremy claims he can see Dragon the cat approaching them but he’s mistaken for a rabbit. Afterwards, the real Dragon approaches from inside the log but he’s given away by Jeremy's cat allergy. Mrs. Brisby rescues Jeremy who, in turn, rescues Mrs. Brisby. He flies her to safety but she’s devastated because she lost the medicine for Timothy (given to her by Mr. Ages). Soon, she’s cheered up when Jeremy gives her back the medicine which he found. Afterwards, Mrs. Brisby continues her journey home with Jeremy in tow. He offers to fly her home but she declines saying she’s acrophobic (afraid of heights). Then he flies away when Mrs. Brisby arrives at her house safe and sound.

In his next appearance, Jeremy flies Mrs. Brisby to see The Great Owl who tells her to go to the rats in the rosebush near the farmhouse who will move her house to the Lee of the Stone.

In his third appearance, Jeremy is apprehended (caught) by Auntie Shrew who ties him up in his own string. Then Auntie Shrew leaves him but Jeremy is found by Mrs. Brisby's children who repeatedly asks where their mother is, (earlier he promised Mrs. Brisby to look after her children while she visits the Rats of NIMH and Nicodemus but she also told him not to tell her children where she is).

Jeremy appears two more times before the movie ends, in his second to last appearance he is seen hiding in the pond while Mrs. Brisby passes through to head home after hearing about the plan to move her house to the Lee of The Stone. He tells her he was captured by Auntie Shrew but he gets distracted by Mrs. Brisby's amulet given to her by Nicodemus. She tells him to get all the string he can to form a lever and pulley system to make the plan work. Although he does not appear in the house moving scene, he does appear afterwards where he arrived at the Brisby home with a bundle of string. There, he notices the house has moved and ponders what he will do with all of his string until a female crow equally clumsy as him flies into him by accident. Jeremy then uses his string to make a love nest with 'Miss Right'. The film ends with Jeremy and Miss Right flying away into the sky together.

The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue (1998)[]

He took Timothy to Thorn Valley, then as seen later on posed as the Great Owl, until caught and helped Timothy and Jenny to find NIMH.

Trivia[]

  • Almost everybody from the first film that reappears in the sequel has new voice actors. Jeremy and Mr. Ages are the only characters from the first film that retain their original voice actors.
  • In the first Mexican Spanish dub, Martin, Justin and Mr. Ages and Jeremy's voice actors, Rocío Garcel, Carlos Segundo, Francisco Colmenero and Arturo Mercado respectively, will reunite years later in the Dragon Ball franchise as Bulma, Piccolo, Dr. Rota, Karin and Frieza respectively.
  • Jeremy being re-written as a hopeless romantic was loosely based on the staff cook who repeatedly tried flirting with Bluth while he and his crew were working on the "Don't Walk Away" segment on Xanadu.
  • He sometimes has teeth.
  • A real-life myth says that crows tend to collect shiny objects, that's probably why Jeremy was hypnotized by Brisby's stone.
