Once upon a time... in the far away kingdom of Dor... lived a brave and virtuous mouse with comically oversized ears who dreamt of becoming a knight. Banished from his home for having such lofty ambitions, Despereaux sets off on an amazing adventure with his good-hearted rat friend Roscuro, who leads him, at long last, on a very noble quest to rescue an endangered princess and save an entire kingdom from darkness.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Tale of Despereaux may not be a classic, but it still has a lot of class.
– Peter Hartlaub,
San Francisco Chronicle,

rotten:
[The directors] can't quite locate a core of buoyant energy in the film as a whole.
– Tom Keogh,
Seattle Times,

rotten:
. The plot is too convoluted and there are too many characters to keep track of.
– Linda Barnard,
Toronto Star,
19 Dec 2008
rotten:
It's like Ratatouille meets Upstairs Downstairs to go sort of cross-generational but it didn't work really on any level.

rotten:
