Author's Notes and Disclaimer: As promised, here's the Cast List and the questions I would have given with the previous chapters. Let me know if there are some familiar and favorite faces here as well as what you think of the choices I made for Calamity, Zia, and Angel the Swan.

Here's the disclaimer: I do not own "The Secret of NIMH", the characters of "Loonatics Unleashed", the "Tiny Toon" character Calamity Coyote, "Looney Tunes" characters Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, or even the Hanna-Barbera character Godzooky. The only things I own are the idea for this crossover, the character of Zia, my characterization of Godzooky, Calamity being a telepath, and any mentions concerning the Darkness. The names of the voice actors and actresses (living and dead) are their own.


Cast List:

Adventure Group:

Charlie Schlatter as Ace Bunny

Jessica DiCicco as Lexi Bunny

Jason Marsden as Danger "Daniel" Duck

Kevin Michael Richardson as Slam Tasmanian and Tech E. Coyote

Rob Paulsen as Rev Runner

Candi Milo (doing her Astro Boy voice from the series "Astro Boy (2003)") as Calamity's telepathic voice

...

Main Cast from "The Secret of NIMH":

Elizabeth Hartman as Mrs. Brisby

Derek Jacobi as Nicodemus

Arthur Malet as Mr. Ages

Dom DeLuise as Jeremy

Hermione Baddeley as Auntie Shrew

Wil Wheaton as Martin Brisby

Shannon Doherty as Teresa Brisby

Jodi Hicks as Cynthia Brisby

John Carradine as The Great Owl

Peter Strauss as Justin

Paul Shenar as Jenner

Aldo Ray as Sullivan

Ian Fried as Timothy "Timmy" Brisby

...

Additional Characters:

Frank Welker as Godzooky Gojo

Jeff Bergman as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck

Zia Gojo would sound a bit like Eva Gabor's Miss Bianca voice (with a little less of an accent)

Angel the Swan would sound like Judith Barsi's Anne-Marie voice with a bit of Ducky (Original Land Before Time)

…And in the last chapter, as the voices of the amulet and Tweetums' Royal Scepter, Derek Jacobi (doing Nicodemus) and Candi Milo (doing Zadavia).


And now, the questions that I would have put with the first nine chapters had I thought of the idea earlier:

Chapter 1:

Would you have anything to add to the conversation between Tech, Rev, and Calamity?

What warning or advice would you give to Calamity and the Loonatics before they leave on their adventure?

Would you be worried about Zooky sending the Loonatics and Calamity into the world of "The Secret of NIMH"?

Now, given that you've read through the story (and assumedly my Author's Notes) you already know the answer to this and the next two questions, but I'll ask anyway: Who do you think saw the Loonatics and Calamity depart for their adventure?

Who do you think is the one who could "benefit greatly from the experience"?

What do you think happened to Zadavia to warrant a sad reaction from Zooky, Zia, Bugs, and Daffy when she is mentioned?

Chapter 2:

If you were with the Loonatics and Calamity, when you recover from the transport into the book, what would you do first?

What would you be doing to help the gang after the first explosion goes off?

What would you be thinking if you turned to face Mrs. Brisby and saw that you were now about the size of a mouse?

If you had arrived with Mrs. Brisby, what would you be thinking as you look over these newcomers and the introductions are made?

What would be happening to you when the second explosion sends Mr. Ages tumbling down and Mrs. Brisby and the others follow, with Rev having to be pulled back by Tech by the tail feathers to prevent him from falling?

What do you think of Mr. Ages' behavior towards the seven visitors?

When you went into Mr. Ages' lab, what would you be thinking as you looked around the place?

Little side question: When Mrs. Brisby, Calamity, and the Loonatics all shout for Mr. Ages at once and then he says, "Great Jupiter, you people…", could you imagine all eight of those voice actors (now that you know who they are exactly) shouting at once and then Mr. Ages popping up annoyed and saying that line? Did it make you laugh, 'cause it certainly made me laugh when I typed it up!

Chapter 3:

What would your thoughts be as you walk through the grass with the group of eight?

How would you be helping—well, trying to help—Jeremy get untangled from the string he's caught in?

When Lexi, Duck, and Tech get tangled in the string when Jeremy flies up to see if dragon is near, what would your reaction be and what would you do to help them?

How would you be reacting before and when it's discovered that what was coming was a rabbit?

Would you be getting worried something was wrong when Jeremy starts to sneeze, or when Tech and Calamity's noses start acting up?

During the chase, what action would you be taking?

What would you be doing/saying during the sequence where Calamity and the Loonatics are drying themselves off and discover that Calamity's Toon abilities don't work?

How would you react to seeing that Duck found the medicine packet and the look on his face when he gets hugged by Mrs. Brisby?

What thoughts would be going through your head as the Loonatics answer Mrs. Brisby's question about their siblings (if they had any)?

Would you go ahead with Rev, Duck, Tech, and Calamity to the cement block or stay with Ace, Lexi, and Slam to escort Mrs. Brisby home (and thus have to endure Jeremy until he leaves)?

Chapter 4:

How would you be interacting with Teresa, Martin, and Cynthia when you arrive at the Brisby home with Duck, Calamity, Rev, and Tech?

When Auntie Shrew arrives, what would you be thinking? How would you react to seeing her hit Tech on the muzzle, and then grab Rev's beak and give that warning to him?

How would you be trying to defuse the situation between Auntie Shrew and Martin?

Would you be worried that when Ace, Lexi, and Slam arrive with Mrs. Brisby, those three would get a similar treatment from Auntie Shrew?

What would you be thinking if you had just arrived with the others and heard about what happened to Tech, Rev, and Calamity?

How would you be helping Mrs. Brisby take care of Timothy?

What would you be thinking seeing Cynthia unwilling to let go of Rev?

If you walked out with the others after Calamity ran into the study, what would you be thinking?

If you went with Ace, Lexi, and Slam to lecture Duck, what would you say to him?

If you went in with Rev to the study and participated in that conversation up to the point the others came in, what would your thoughts be? What would you say?

Chapter 5:

What would you be thinking if you woke up to the sound of the tractor trying to start?

If you were like Mrs. Brisby and meeting the Loonatics for the first time, how would you react to seeing the Loonatics using their powers for the first time? What do you think of Auntie Shrew's reactions to them?

What would you be doing in trying to stop the tractor? Would you go with Duck, Calamity, Slam, and Auntie Shrew to the fuel line, or would you go with Ace, Lexi, and Tech to take care of the sparkplugs?

What would you be saying/thinking as Mrs. Brisby, Auntie Shrew, Calamity, and the Loonatics recover from the experience? When Calamity tells the Loonatics about the voice and what it said? As the Loonatics and Calamity tell (and show) Mrs. Brisby their powers and other abilities?

Chapter 6:

Would you rather ride on Jeremy or use your own form of aerial transport (if you have any) to get to the Great Owl's place?

What would you be saying about the Great Owl's tree in addition to what Lexi, Duck, and Ace have said?

Who would you be "buddied" with as you and the group walk through the Owl's tree?

What would be going through your mind as you walk through the Owl's tree with the group? How about when you lay your eyes on the Owl himself?

What would you be saying to the Owl…or would you not be able to say anything at all because he really scares you?

What do you think is going through the Owl's mind as he looks at the seven strangers with Mrs. Brisby?

Like Mrs. Brisby, would you be curious about Duck, especially after he protected her like that, as well as everything else you've seen him do?

Chapter 7:

What questions would you have about Duck?

If you wanted to, is there anything you would add to the conversation between Duck and Mrs. Brisby?

If you know Duck from "Loonatics Unleashed", how would you compare the duck from then to the Duck in this chapter?

(OK, not a very long list, but it was a pretty short chapter.)

Chapter 8:

How annoyed would you be with Jeremy when he shows up?

Would you agree with Duck's complaint about how hard it is to find the entrance to the inside of the rosebush?

Do you agree with the assessment of comedy-relief characters given by Duck, Tech, and Ace?

What would you call out to Jeremy as he is catapulted away by the force of his own sneeze?

What do you think of Ace's plan? Would there be something you would do differently?

What would be going through your mind as you join Calamity, Mrs. Brisby, and the Loonatics as they walk through the rosebush?

When the group encounters Brutus, would you join Ace in trying to hold him off, or be trying to get away from the large rat until everyone's together and Rev gets you guys out?

What would you be thinking when you see Mr. Ages again, and on crutches this time?

How would you react when Calamity tells the others that he has heard the voice again and deduces it as Nicodemus? How about when Calamity says that Nicodemus knows where he and the Loonatics come from?

What would you be doing when Justin comes on the scene?

What would be your thoughts on Jenner when you see him for the first time?

What would your response be to Sullivan's comment about "letting the lower creatures fend for themselves"?

What would you be thinking if you heard Jenner talking about an accident, like Lexi did?

Do you have anything to add to what the Loonatics say in regards to their reactions to Sullivan's comment?

What would you be doing with the Brisby children when they are left alone with Jeremy? Would you believe what he says or not?

Chapter 9:

What would you be thinking if you heard Calamity ask Mr. Ages if the elderly mouse really thought Ace and Justin had something in common?

How would you react to Nicodemus calling Mrs. Brisby's guests "visitors from another world" and hearing about what happened to the Loonatics' home and time and Calamity's parents?

What would be going through your mind as you listen to the story of the Rats of NIMH? Would you be as frightened as Calamity and the Loonatics?

What suggestion would you offer to Mrs. Brisby when she asks if there is anything she can do to help?

How would you react to seeing the amulet?

If you heard Jenner plotting to kill Nicodemus like Lexi did, what would you tell the others?

What would you say after Calamity finishes talking about his world?

When Justin mentions that "someone" has to put the sleeping powder in Dragon's dish, would you be thinking the same thing Duck is?

How would you react when Mrs. Brisby volunteers to drug Dragon? When Duck volunteers as well, then Rev?

What would you be saying to Jeremy when he shows up again?


And now, ladies and gentlemen, we are OFFICIALLY DONE! Hurrah! I hope you all enjoyed the story as much as I had making it the year before and I can't wait to see your responses! Remember, there's no rush.

As always, please read and review. Thank you and see you next time!
