Despereaux Fights For Us All

Sunday, July 13, 2008

The Tale of Despereaux is about a mouse who does big things. It’s based on the Newbery award-winning book titled: “The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup and a Spool of Thread” by Kate DiCamillo.

The movie stars a whole slew of people: Matthew Broderick, Sigourney Weaver, Emma Watson, Dustan Hoffman,
Christopher Lloyd, Robbie Coltrane, Kevin Kline, William H. Macy, Stanley Tucci and Tracey Ullman, to name a few.

As you can see from the above picture and the trailer below, the animation is amazing. Coming to the big screen this Christmas!

For book / movies, my daughter and I like to read the book before seeing it in the theater or DVD. It’s a fun way to see both sides of the story. If you and your family like doing that kind of thing, here is the link for the book at Amazon. It’s for sale right now for about $8.00.
