Review of The Tale of Despereaux (2008) by Kyla C — 23 May 2009
An entirely under-rated film. This animated film was one of the most beautiful and strange surprises I have seen this year. The chacters where so well rounded and true. The metephor's to real life displayed in this film where transparent and many good lessons are learned.
This is however, not entirely a childrens movie. It's themes and depth are a bit much for kids to take in and they probably wouldn't understand half of what's actually going on here without a parental explanation.
This is a drama/ adventure/ strange love, film..not a comedy..which is what most kids may be expecting from an animated film. This one is more for the true lovers of good films out there. This was highly overlooked for last years oscar noms.
A classic indeed.
