Who wouldn't love a story about a cute little mouse with oversized ears who gets banished from his home for having unrealistic dreams and ambitions then ends up rescuing a princess and becomes the hero!

Great stuff!

Cool Small Pets comment:

This movie really has some great actors borrowing voices for the characters. Matthew Broderick, Emma Watson, Dustin Hoffman and Kevin Kline really make a great crew.

Who are they borrowing voices to? Well, there is one little mouse with big ears. He likes to read. There is also a rat who got in trouble for liking soup. As in most fairy tales there has to be a princess so we have Princess Pea as one of the characters. And last but not least, there is a servant girl.

Confused? No need to be, just see the movie, we strongly suggest it :)

Favorite movie quote:
Princess Pea: What are you, a mouse?
Despereaux: No... I'm a gentleman.
