Considering that The Tale of Despereaux won a Newberry Award, the story is surprisingly weak. The best story element by far is the mouse community’s efforts to education it’s young. For example, the mouse teachers show their students pictures of knives, mousetraps and cats, encouraging […]

TRASH CINEMA RECOMMENDED MOVIE
