The Tale of Despereaux


Last night I went with the family I nanny for to the movie "The Tale of Despereaux." I really didn't know anything about the movie before we went, only that it was about a mouse and that Emma Watson (from Harry Potter) was one of the voices. Well it was soooo good! Really good to take your kids to, it's only G and at the end it teaches you about forgiveness and how sometimes people make mistakes. I liked it a lot!
Tiny and graced with oversized ears, Despereaux was born too big for his little world. Refusing to live his life cowering, he befriends a Princess named Pea and learns to read (rather than eat) books -- reveling in stories of knights, dragons and fair maidens. Banished from Mouseworld for being more man than mouse, Despereaux is rescued by another outcast, Roscuro, who also wants to hear the tales. But when the Princess dismisses Roscuro's friendship, he becomes the ultimate rat and plots revenge with fellow outsider Mig. After Pea is kidnapped, Despereaux discovers he is the only one who can rescue her...and that even the tiniest mouse can find the courage of a knight in shining armor.
