Review of The Tale of Despereaux (2008) by Ryan B — 09 Jan 2013
Entertaining kids' movie about a heroic mouse. My children enjoyed it quite a bit. Good performances from an all-star cast.
I haven't read the book but I gather that the film diverges from it quite a bit. The film suffers a bit in that the motivations of the Dustin Hoffman character are unclear. The ending is a bit rushed.
Animation is good but not spectacular.
All in all it is a good but not great kids' movie.
