Despereaux submitted by alexcantu on June 27, 2011, 1:55pm Despereaux the mouse was different. i thought it was a good movie. i thought the cat was weird and it was not a very good scene.

Great submitted by fka83111 on August 1, 2011, 8:58pm Nice, loved it.

angles... submitted by lekendrick on January 7, 2012, 11:37am it's fairy tale really plays like valentine to river-rats & it's moral instruction partially w/ a little tension as adventure the dualism of usurpers plays part in story class tension & death another theme I'd say suitable younger or youngest children still though forms imprint well as to right & wrong...

Great submitted by Memoria1224 on August 13, 2012, 9:28pm This movie is really good. It has a lot of action and adventure in it. The book is better though.
