The Tale of Despereaux should get the award for the most adorable movie of the year. It is so cute. Suitable from babies to adults. I'll definitely watch it with my children.

The movie is about a small mouse with big ears named Despereaux. Who lives under a castle in a 'mouse village'. Despereaux is a very different from all the other mice, he is brave. The mouse community thrive on fear they all have it and sees Despereaux as weird and unmouselike. so he gets expelled. He wants to become a knight so he goes to live in the castle and meets the princes. When she is captured by a mob of rats Despereaux goes after her.

The plot might have been cheezy if it was not done in this funny way where you can laugh at things that might have been sad if it was written any differently. This is refreshingly cute. And I love the culture change. These days all good animation is so influenced by American culture it has become annoying.Despereaux is like a breath of fresh air :)

I have collected a couple of posters of Despereaux click on images to enlarge.
