The Tale of Despereaux (2008)
Some scenes mary frighten young children
Once upon a time, in the faraway kingdom of Dor, there was magic in the air, raucous laughter aplenty and gallons of mouth-watering soup. But a terrible accident left the king broken-hearted, the princess filled with longing and the townsfolk despondent. All hope was lost in a land where sunlight disappeared and the world became dreary grey. Until Despereaux Tilling (Justin Long) was born...

Great fun. Yes, it smacks of the other cute rodent movies of recent times (Stuart Little, Ratatouille, Flushed Away etc.), but it was different enought to make it interesting for both grown ups and the kids.

Not conviced littles should watch this. It has a strong moral theme but the rats are a a bit too evil.

Very much a children's movie with none of the humour that most other feature length animated movies contain to keep adults entertained. It is a fairy tale that the kids might enjoy, but the story gets a little complex at times to keep up.

It's entertaining but not as funny as the trailer implied. It looks gorgeous, and has a fairy tale feel to it, but with a underwhelming voice cast it just didn't live up to expectations. The vegetable-man did not make sense at all!

what with rats and foods in a cartoon? I found the story quite good.

I watched this one today. The soothingly wonderful tones of Sigorney Weaver matched this classical story of a little guy with a big heart. Great for all the family. The story is very slow to start and winds up rather quickly in the last 30minutes. A great one for kids of all ages.
