I was just thinking to myself If Mrs. Brisby had a car, what kind would it be. Any thoughts/comments??

Peace :D

You might want to ask Whiskers57/Desmouse! Because he has a pic of Mrs. Brisby in one! http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i15/Nimhster/3nod8um.gif[" alt=""/img]

Mrs. B. doesn't belong in any regular kind of car. She belongs in a custom-made hot rod that defys all boundaries, just like she does.

Yes, I do have one art done with Mrs Brisby in a car by Dsauve,

I used it as a promo to my site ,

But I always thought of Mrs Brisby in a Mini-Van with her kids, and a bumper sticker that says " childern on board, be nice, my other vehicle is a Monster Truck " :twisted:

I remember a fan-fic that I read, she had a car, at one point Mrs Brisby`s car had a flat tire or broke down, and Jeremy helped fix it, anyone remember that one ?

Hey Whiskers,

It seems that you and I are thinking alike on this one. I kind of pictured her in a minivan myself. I'm not so sure what color it would be... Maybe blue to match the color of her eyes, or red to match her ever present cape/shawl

I was going to suggest a custom minivan. As for the color, how about red with blue handles. Nice idea for a bumper sticker, too. How about this one, "My children are students at Thorn Valley, Mess with them and I'll give you pain."

I never thought of the color of her ride, great suggestions guys!, I allways pictured it this way, as a van full of the Briz kids, Martain needs to be dropped off for football practice, Teresa is doing a play in JR high, Timothy is in the JR high band, and Cynthia (the baby) just rides with mom.
Lots of work for mom, and the power of the Mini-Van can help, I`m not sure if the power of the stone can aid here, this is the power of a loving mom.

I always pictured Brisby in a older car like a 60s Mustang. I am not surprise that Whiskers has a picture of her in one..

I pictured her in a Ferrari, Hummer, 60's VW bus, a monster truck and a generic SUV. I might try and draw Mrs. Brisby in a vehicle.

A thunderous roar draws backwoods attention. "That sounds like an uncapped bigblock?" he turns to see a rail buggy cut wheels and power slide into a full four wheel skid before coming to a dust raising rock throwing halt leaving a set of big block flags, straped to the right front quarter, inches from backwoods face. A gentle female voice calls through the dust cloud "need a lift".

Backwoods jaw drops "Mrs. Frisby?!"

Yea that about covers it:
Backwoods

Didn't put it in, but someone can guess the engine size. Gotta get them flags on there.

Stick her in something that says, "don't mess with me." How about a monster truck, or a huge tractor. Something sexy and some serious horsepower (okay, maybe a monster truck isn't that sexy). Brutus would probably feel more at home behind the wheel of a monster truck.

hummer, mustane? not sure if mrs brisby would be a car person probably have any car she could afford personally i always felt she would have a car that is not that fancy just simple as she is

Cedric

19-09-2006 16:55:49

Yeah. I can clearly picture her in a Dodge Caravan.

OK This is really going overboard, but if she was human, she'd be like a cross between an Amish country girl and a soccer mom. So a pickup truck or a minivan.

I see her in a smaller car like an old Mini Cooper or VW Beetle.

That's rather difficult. But as a car enthusiast as well as NIMH fan. Here are some ideas.

Honda Civic: This car has a sort of "feminine" feel about it, so that would fit.

Toyota Prius: Compact, (Just like she is) and environmental.

Chevy Malibu: I have no idea why I chose this, but it came into mind.

VW Beetle: Just like I said, This is a small car. Mice are small, so..

Aston Martin DB7: This car may be considered a misfit because it's a sports car, and sports cars may have a image that is too "adventurous" to be similar to her. This will sound very shocking, but I think that for a cartoon character, Mrs. Brisby is actually somewhat "beautiful". Just like this car. It has very sleek and smooth lines, so that's that.

Smart Fortwo: Again, small, just like a mouse.

Honda Odyssey: As a mother, this would be fitting. She has a family, and quite a few families own a van.

That's all I can think of.
