We've been reading The Tale of Despereaux and many of you have seen the movie . . . . tell me what you think!
As for me, I have to admit that though I found the movie cute and endearing, I like the book better. Here's my thoughts:
- Roscuro was born in the dungeon - so why does the movie have him coming from a distant land on a ship with the pirate guy?
- Despereaux's mother - I missed the French accent that the book says she has!
- Gregory the jailer is not Miggery Sow's father . . . . have you guys caught that yet?
- The magical vegetable guy . . . . I don't even know what to say. Where did he come from?
However, I did think Despereaux was adorable and my favorite part? Miggery Sow. Her character in the movie was pretty much how I imagined her when I read the book.
So go ahead - tell me your opinion. I'd love to hear . . . . .

i really did not like the movie because they made a ton of stuff up like the fruit and veggie guy and it was so stupid and than that big rat with the watch was very skinny and he looked so different in the movie than in the book and than the rat that was born in the middle of the book was just there and the chief was a girl in the book and was a boy in the movie and than migg had puffy ears in the book but not in the movie
I admit, Despereaux WAS cute in the movie, but like you, I definitely like the book better! The veggie guy was definitely wierd. I thought they Boticelli look extra creepy in the movie, didn't you?
