The Tale of Despereaux R5.Line (mediafire)

Like the soup the royal Chef makes, in which there are umpteen ingredients, this cute and often charming animation is burdened by an over abundance of exposé as its characters and ideas are stirred overzealously together in the storyteller's pot. Based on Kate DiCamillo's fable about a little mouse with oversized ears who unwittingly becomes a hero, the film offers some pleasures as we enter the realms of the worlds of mice, rats and humans, but the screenplay is cluttered and confuses. Humour, fantasy and drama swirl together, but the blending is far from seamless.

It all starts when Roscuro (voiced by Dustin Hoffman), a rat who mingles with pirates, finds himself in a plate of vegetable soup about to be eaten in the Royal Palace on the Kingdom of Dor's annual Soup Day. When it comes to rats and cooking, comparisons with the brilliant Ratatouille immediately come to mind, just as Flushed Away put a fresh slant on our perceptions of an underground rat world. Hence, the integration of plotlines about an un-meek mouse, a bitter rat, a plump peasant girl and a fair princess swept up in an adventure involving forgiveness and redemption feels less than fresh.

An appealing high profile voice cast including Robbie Coltane, William H. Macy, Stanley Tucci and Tracey Ullman inhabits the characters, but Sigourney Weaver's narration tells us more than we want to know. Instead of allowing us to discover things (and emotions) for ourselves, we are kept on a short leash. Matthew Broderick ably voices the little gentleman mouse Despereaux who draws cats on his mouse notepad, Kevin Kline embodies the temperamental French Chef Andre and Harry Potter's Emma Watson is the beautiful Princess waiting to be rescued.
