The Tale of Despereaux opens in theaters December 19!
Once upon a time, in the faraway kingdom of
Dor, there was magic in the air, raucous laughter aplenty and gallons
of mouth-watering soup. But a terrible accident left the king
broken-hearted, the princess filled with longing and the townsfolk
despondent. All hope was lost in a land where sunlight disappeared and
the world became dreary gray. Until Despereaux Tilling was born...
A brave and virtuous mouse, Despereaux is simply too big for his small
world. Though tiny, wheezy and saddled with comically oversized ears,
Despereaux refuses to live a life of weakness and fear...believing he
was destined to be celebrated in the tales of chivalry he so adores.
When he's banished from his home for not following the rules that
society expects of a mouse, Despereaux befriends fellow outcast
Roscuro, a good-hearted rat who can't bear to look in the mirror and
hopes to live far from the grim underground of his kind. While
Despereaux begins his noble quest to rescue Pea--a princess who can't
see beyond her distorted view of the world--his pal Roscuro receives a
painful rejection from her highness that sets him on a course of
self-destruction.
Along their parallel adventures, the two encounter colorful characters
from a serving girl who wishes to be a princess to the evil leader of
the sewer rats, who plots revenge on humans from his fiefdom in the
subterranean shadows he relishes but Roscuro can't abide.
From the highest turrets of the glittering castle to the dankest dark
of Dor's sewers, friendships will be tested as Despereaux and Roscuro
embark upon a journey that will change the way they look at their
world--and themselves--forever. In this tale of bravery, forgiveness
and redemption, one tiny creature will teach a kingdom that it takes
only a little light to show that what you look like doesn't equal what
you
