This movie greatly deviates from the original novel in which there are no supernatural elements, and Nicodemus is neither magical nor elderly, but merely an intellectual. Jenner is not a villainous character, but the leader of defectors from The Plan, and who is believed killed during an unsuccessful raid of a hardware store (that is how N.I.M.H. discovers the location of the rats). The move of Mrs. Bisby's home is accomplished by the rats without incident (or magic).

The name of the spaceships - Icarus - is symbolic. Icarus is a character in Greek Mythology. His father, Daedalus, made a pair of wings for himself and his son so that they could escape from a prison. He made them from feathers and wax. Before they took off, Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, as the wax will melt, nor too close to the sea, as the feathers will dampen. But overcome by the feeling that flying gave him, Icarus soared through the sky, too close to the sun. His wings melted and Icarus fell into the sea.

Many of the computer graphic effects were built around an on-set, physical effect, so that the actors had something to respond to. Many of the actors took on these scenes themselves.
