A Hero Doesn't Appear Until the World Really Needs One
The Tale of Desperaux is a Once Upon A Time fairytale, with the cutest mouse you ever did meet (that coming from a Mickey fan too!). Desperaux Tilling, an odd sort of mouse, does not cower, scurry, nor is afraid of cats.
Based upon the book by Kate DiCamillo, The Tale of Desperaux is a charming computer animated flick perfect for the whole family. It's as rare to find a "G" movie out there as it is to find a brave and courageous mouse!
Amber was excited when Universal Home Entertainment sent this to me, as she has read the book. Hubby was impressed with the notable names in the opening credits voicing the characters, which include Matthew Broderick, Kevin Kline, Dustin Hoffman and Sigourney Weaver, just to name a few. I was impressed with the general tone of the story which has more to do with attitude and forgiveness than the average fairy tale marketed to children these days. And a movie that I can put on for anyone's children when they visit is always welcome on my shelf as well!
For some online entertainment have some fun at www.thetaleofdespereauxmovie.com there are lots of activities there for everyone.
Take a peek at the trailer, but don't pop your popcorn yet...you'll want a fresh batch, because I'm pretty sure you'll want to watch the whole thing.
