In the kingdom of Dor, on National Soup Day, a chef prepares his extraordinary soup for a giant feast. When rat, Roscuro, accidentally falls into the Queen of Dor's soup, she becomes so scared of the rat that she soon dies. After the Queen dies, the King of Dor commands that soup and all rats in the kingdom shall be banished.....forever. Roscuro, sad that he accidentally killed the Queen, escapes to the dungeons of Dor, to an eerie land where evil rats live. Meet Despereaux, a young and small mouse with an ENORMOUS appetite for adventure. He lives in a small mouse hole in the castle, in the town of Mouseworld. One day, while going to the castle library with his brother to eat papers out of books, he decides to read them instead. Despereaux reads a book about a brave knight who sets off on an amazing quest to rescue a damsel in distress from the forces of evil. Despereaux journeys past Mouseworld and into the castle to meet the princess of Dor, Princess Pea, disobeying the number one “rule” for mice. After many adventures, Despereaux bravely embarks on a dangerous quest when Princess Pea is kidnapped by an army of evil rats, led by Roscuro.
“Despereaux” is a good family film, with valuable lessons about forgiveness and courage.
