More Than A Tale of Despereaux
25 Mar 2009
The next time when you see a rodent and you instantly assume it’s a mouse, you should start to smell a rat.
If you’re confused, A Tale of Despereaux will sort it out for you. No two mice, er, ways about it!
Despereaux (Matthew Broderick) the mouse is really, really cute. So cute that you have to find it cute – not ugly but adorable but cute and adorable – regardless of your race, language or religion.
I got so impressed by this little hero’s “chivalry, bravery and honour” that I had to pepper in some nuggets of patriotism as a hint of my nationalistic sentiment. (You mean you haven’t realised I cited a phrase from our national pledge?!)
The tale begins with the rat, a gourmet lover.
