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.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A storybook adventure about an unlikely mouse hero learning that courage and forgiveness matter more than fitting in. It's earnest and fantastical, unfolding like a fairy tale with genuine heart beneath its whimsy.
