Mrs. Brisby and the shrew (called "Auntie shrew" in the film) talk briefly about Moving day and about how Mrs. Brisby should go to see the Great Owl. At one point there are occasional brief mentions of males: the farmer where the Brisbies live, Mrs. Brisby's dead husband, and Mrs. Brisby's son, Martin, but these are quick. There are also a couple of scenes where the shrew talks with Theresa and Cynthia. One of these conversations focuses on the rats and how they would be there any minute to move the Brisby home. The other has the shrew complaining about how she "has" to tell everyone about Moving day, asks where Mrs. Brisby is, and finds out she went to see Mr. Ages because Timothy was sick.
