Review by Amia, 10

5 stars

10 May 2014

I absolutely LOVED this film. It was filled of such funny, emotional moments. This film is probably one of the best films that i've EVER watched in film club, mostly because of it's beautiful animations.

My favourite part was when desparaux was born. My FAVOURITE part was when desperaux met the beautiful princess Louise, and he started telling her the story. I would have to say that what i disliked was when the maid locked the princess up in the dungeon. That part made me feel like I was locked in the dungeon myself!!

This film is very insparational to EVERYONE because no matter how big or small you are on the outside, you can ALWAYS be capable of big things.

That means: WHATEVER YOU NEED IN LIFE, WORK HARD, AND YOU'LL SUCCEED IN IT.

The setting was in the castle and the rat dungeons (which was very weird indeed).

I have to give thumbs up to the director because the whole CAST did a GREAT job in making every single scene realistic.

I would recommend this film to children and adults, big or small.

The characters are:

THE QUEEN, THE KING, PRINCESS LOUISE, RASCARO and DESPERAUX.

This film DEFINATELY deserves 5/5 stars.
