Eek! A Mouse: Check out the Trailer for 'Despereaux'
Man, you gotta love the escapism of
Gary Ross movies. Dave,
Pleasantville, Seabiscuit...I wish he was directing the remake of
Creature from
the Black Lagoon (after all, he's the writer and producer on the upcoming
monster flick).
But Ross works at his own pace, which is admirable, and
he's grabbed a really high quality property here in the animated children's
flick,
The Tale of Despereaux, and he's credited as
co-director with
Sam Fell, who directed Flushed Away. Based on the Newberry Award-winning book by Kate
DiCamillo, it's the journey of Despereaux Tilling, who's slightly different than
the other mice. But it's the individuality that makes his story worth telling -
and there's a lesson in that for kids all over the place.
You might recognize some of the voices in what appears to
be a gorgeously and lovingly rendered animated effort:
Dustin Hoffman,
Emma
Watson,
Christopher Lloyd,
Sigourney Weaver, and
Matthew Broderick as Despereaux.
Yes, that's our third Matthew Broderick trailer today.
I didn't plan it like that, I swear.
The Tale of Despereaux will be in theaters on December
19th.

Sounds like Tim Conway as the headmaster near the end. I think I'll take the family to this one. Not because of Tim Conway, but not in spite of him either...
i'm looking forward to this movie...looks interesting...
This movie looks really good! They changed the look of Pea a lot but I can get ovet that...yay I can't wait! 3rd movie to see this Christmas!
This looks so cute! I love that Emma Watson decided to be a part of it, too. :)
I think this will rock, frankly, and I don't say that about too many kid-first cartoons.
i always like movies with emma watson she is very talented. Also i haven't seen any commercials is this going ot be a big movie or just a small 3 theatre movie?
I think this movie looks cute. I like Matthew Broderick and he should be good. Emma Watson is cool too! Definitely a movie to see this christmas.
