Banished from his home for having such lofty ambitions, Despereaux sets off on an amazing adventure with his good-hearted rat friend Roscuro, who leads him, at long last, on a very noble quest to rescue an endangered princess and save an entire kingdom from darkness.

The book is way better, but this was alright albeit forgettable. I liked the cook and the food genie. They were the best part.

Most of the story was just confusing and very slow. Overall it could make one watch it just because of a curious mind.

An animation about a mouse. That’s pretty much all I remember — it was that boring
