    Not quite as good as the book
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2023*

This is a cute movie although not quite as good as the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Book and movie are both good.

My class watched the movie after reading the book.  We did a compare/contrast between the two. The characters in the movie were done well and the storyline although different in many ways was still charming.The class enjoyed both the book and movie.Someone stated in another review their daughter passed a test based on the movie - I would find that highly unlikely.

    Not Perfect but Entertaining for All Ages

My sister loves this movie, so we ordered it. I'm not usually into animated films, especially when they involve rodents as the main character, but I enjoyed this a great deal. It's nice to see a calm, self-assured character in a children's story, instead of the pointless screaming, flashing lights, and weird sound effects often used as a replacement for actual plot.Yes, the story is a bit ridiculous, but aren't most fairy tales? Maybe the idea of a mouse falling in love with a princess--who doesn't seem to have much to recommend her except her rank--could have been used to counter the unrealistic idea of Happy-Ever-After instant love that Disney movies all  seem to push as 'normal.' Instead, the film falls back on unimaginative ideas like parents trying to force children into molds that don't fit, or risking everything for love. Still, it was a relief to sit through a movie that didn't send my brain into overdrive with noise and effects that threatened to cause seizures.(Yes, I DO have a seizure disorder from a brain injury so most kid's programs are unwatchable because the noise, flashing lights, and other special effects trigger photosensitive seizures--and there's NO excuse for that, since the medical basis for such seizures are well-known and could easily avoided if film makers just bothered to learn about recommendations regarding speed of flashes & such. Just thought I'd mention it here to raise awareness.)This isn't a movie that will inspire your kids to have deep thoughts, but the animation is glorious, making even a rodent with over-sized ears adorable. It's the kind of film that parents can enjoy with the whole family, instead of gritting their teeth as they attempt to endure the noise. And it's not the kind of film that will get your kids' adrenaline pumping, so they won't need time to wind down before bed.I deducted one star for the lack of originality, but gave one star for its family-friendliness, one star for the lack of annoying flash/bang, and two stars for how extremely cute Despereaux turned out to be.
