One of the popular films, The Tale of Despereaux, was an instant hit when it was released in 2008. Despereaux, the mouse, was born with two big ears. He then became friend with Princess Pea who taught him to read stories about tales of the bravery.
Unfortunately, our tiny protagonist was later expelled from his Mouseworld; but was rescued by Roscuro, the outcast rat. Roscuro wanted to listen in on those tales of the knights and the dragons, and became very angry when the Princess rejected his company. Roscuro and Mig, his other friend, both plotted to kidnap the Princess. The story bounces back and forth between the filthy Ratworld and a neat Mouseworld. It is one of the lively entertaining stories.
The Tale of Despereaux is a story that uses mouse and rat as leading roles just as one of those children movies of the 70s and 80’s – The Rescuers and The Secret of NIMH. Some adults have enjoyed this animated film as well.
