Review of The Tale of Despereaux (2008) by Xou X — 04 Jul 2009
A visually stunning film comparable to WALLE and the ordinary storyline just works out fine. Matthew Broderick plays as a mouse who doesnt act like the other mouse and is exiled into the tunnels with the rats.
The film has its cheap humour and unimaginavtive storyline but it all works out in the end. Its still a charming film. The cute mouse is something you cannot hate and the story between him and the rat is quite similiar thus no confusion.
There are three stories here. The two rodents and the princess. All with thier own emotional awe. However Despereaux story towers over the rest. The cunning execution of the film puts it in the top. Not as good as WALLE but definently better then "BOLT".
Its a enchanting and fascinating film for any family experience. Its a mouse with a vigorous heart and fearless of its enemies. Challenges himself to a point where its cute. Its something we should be proud of after viewing this film.
Near masterpiece with a few broken glasses that can be fixed. Despereaux's tale is one heck of story. I enjoyed, as will anyone.
