Review of The Tale of Despereaux

I recently viewed the animated film, The Tale of Despereaux.  The movie trailer made me think the movie explored the comical challenges and character growth of a mouse who was atypically unafraid of anything.  However, after watching the film, I’m not sure what it was really about (a serious problem if you know less about the plot of the movie after watching it.)

Major film elements such as plot, character development, and dialog were all seriously lacking.  The visual effects were adequate for an animated film.

The first few minutes of the film were so boring, that I threatened to turn it off if it didn’t get better.  About about 15 minutes, it did get better as they introduced the main character, but the movie never got good.

I don’t recommend seeing The Tale of Despereaux. Spend your time on a more interesting fairy tale.
