Synopsis:
The tale of three unlikely heroes - a misfit
mouse who prefers reading books to eating them,
an unhappy rat who schemes to leave the darkness
of the dungeon, and a bumbling servant girl with
cauliflower ears - whose fates are intertwined
with that of the castle's princess.
Chana's Rating: A+
: This was a wonderful movie! First off,
BOTH children stayed glued to the screen...it
would slow down, then speed right back up in
momentum...thus gaining their rapt attention. My
Mom enjoyed it, so 3 generations thought it was
the best childrens movie we have seen in a
while- I'll buy the DVD. So,
I highly recommend this to all, even those with
no kids. Dustin Hoffman is an incredible voice
actor. And the poor princess, wait til you see
what she goes through......

Rating: C : i'm going to totally disagree
with you Channa.
2008 was a very good year for the animations.
Wall-e being one of the best animations of all
time, kung fu panda was a great blockbuster hit,
and ive heard bolt wasn't too bad either. this
movie however, it totally differs.
I felt like the moral of this story was just
nothing out of the ordinary, there are plenty of
other great films about the same sort of story.
its pretty predictable once you watch the
trailer.
The animation was ok, however the movie seemed
to go on for a fair bit, a little long. I can't
complain too much, I was invited to come along
to the movies, and i didnt have to pay so i took
the oppertunity.
This movie was bad... but it certainly wasn't
great. I think it's just an average film, i felt
like it could have been much better.
The main thing about animation is there is
something for everyone. From Fantasia to toy
story, From a goofy movie to the iron giant
(personally one of my favourites.) Every
animation delivers entertainment only something
that doesn't exsist yet so real can deliver. As
i was watching wall-e, i felt something special
for the characotr of wall-e, the lonely robot.
In monsters inc, you feel something for the
monster, randall, as he finds out that "boo" is
not a monster. In this movie, i didn't feel
anything. I felt it colourless and bland in a
way. Dustin hoffman is a great voice actor yes,
however i felt like Kung fu panda was a better
choice.
The Freak's
Rating: C- : The Tale of Desperaux lacks an
interesting story and falls flat due to lack of
on-screen charisma generated by all voice
actors. If you're a regular reader of my
reviews then you know I have major issues with
casting for voiceovers in animation. This
one is far underdone, having barely recognizable
voices. Had the mouse not had large ears,
inspiring multiple "oh, he's so cute" reactions
from the audience, this is in the D range.
