The Tale of Despereaux
Genre: Animation, Family
Release Date: December 19
Cast: Voices of: Matthew Broderick, Tracey Ullman, Ben Falcone, Emma Watson, Tony Hale
Scoop: 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.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: Whether it be about appreciating cheese that the less fortunate don't have, or minding one's own business, sooner or later, we all deserve being lectured at one point -- even the heroic Despereaux.
Snapshot Prediction: 3.5 out of 5 flashes
KEEP READING: The Wrestler
