The Tale of Despereaux

Trailer

Once upon a time, in the faraway kingdom of Dor, there was magic in the air, laughter aplenty and gallons of mouthwatering soup. But an accident left the King broken-hearted, the Princess filled with longing and the townsfolk without their soup. Sunlight disappeared. The world became gray. All hope was lost in this land…until Despereaux Tilling was born.

A modern fairy tale, The Tale of Despereaux tells the story of four unlikely heroes: Despereaux (Matthew Broderick), a brave mouse banished to the dungeon for speaking with a human; Roscuro (Dustin Hoffman), a good-hear

Voices are dodgy

The animation looks terrific, but as with just about every non Disney / Pixar animated film, the voice talent is completely miscast - the central character sounds twenty years to old, and everyone else is hamming it up for dear life. It's always the way - either third rate celebritys or TV cartoon voice guys who've been overdoing it professionally for decades.

hm...

while I appreciate what they're trying to do, it looks like another major studio trying to cash in on a storyline that's already been taxed by covering as many (previously taken) bases as possible.

Looks Good

While I still feel that Pixar's animation remains one step ahead in terms of looks, the film still looks pretty terrific.
