Universal Pictures released this movie poster from the new animated film “The Tale of Despereaux” by directors Sam Fell and Robert Stevenhagen starring Matthew Broderick (Wonderful World), Dustin Hoffman (Kung Fu Panda), Emma Watson (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I), Tracey Ullman and Kevin Kline.

Synopsis: Tiny and graced with oversized ears, Despereaux was born too big for his little world. Refusing to live his life cowering, he befriends a Princess named Pea and learns to read (rather than eat) books—reveling in stories of knights, dragons and fair maidens. Banished from Mouseworld for being more man than mouse, Despereaux is rescued by another outcast, Roscuro, who also wants to hear the tales. But when the Princess dismisses Roscuro’s friendship, he becomes the ultimate rat and plots revenge with fellow outsider Mig. After Pea is kidnapped, Despereaux discovers he is the only one who can rescue her…and that even the tiniest mouse can find the courage of a knight in shining armor. In this tale of bravery, forgiveness and redemption, one small creature will teach a kingdom that it takes only a little light to show the truth: what you look like doesn’t equal what you are.
