06.27.08 ANOTHER ANIMATED RAT MOVIE
After the jump, I’ve got the trailer for The Tale of Despereaux, an animated film from Universal. Normally I’d say no one but Pixar should be allowed to make animated movies, but after watching this… My position hasn’t changed.
Starring the voice of Matthew Broderick, the movie tells the story of Despereaux, a mouse who is French, because the law of movie clichés says all mice are French. Despereaux isn’t like other mice, because he’s not afraid of people. Like many children’s stories, this would have us believe that animals are intelligent, sensitive beings capable of speech and wearing clothes, and the only reason we don’t know is because they’re taught to fear us. It’s the kind of thing that’s a real downer if you’re stoned and you just squashed the fuck out of a spider.

ANOTHER ANIMATED RAT MOVIE
The Richard Gere joke has already been taken for the day.
Does Matthew Broderick’s wife play an animated horse?
The trailer for this and Bolt were in front of Wall-E, because you can’t show trailers for R-Rated movies during a G-rated movie. And that is why I hate seeing G-rated movies in the theater.
Also, they showed the "trailer" for Beverly Hills Chihuahua, which people promptly booed and heckled. When the trailer for your sucky movie sucks, you’re in trouble. Congratulations, Jamie Lee Curtis.
In conclusion, children are fucking idiots. Thank you. Goodnight.
They should just make an animated movie about a misunderstood terrorist.
Dor sho gha! The Mighty Fek’lhr put "Desperaux" into the universal translator, and it said it meant, "cock hole tickling savage".
…
Then again, He has been having problems with the damn thing lately…
Does Despereaux mean Departed 2?
That picture makes me think the kid had just chewed a piece of Mentos gum and the rat is thirsty. Right down to his upturned, pig nose.
Is Antonio Banderas going to star in this one with Selma Hayek?
Despereaux
Isn’t that an Eagles song?
I don’t want to be picky about movie animation, but if I’m Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird I am calling bullshit on that Splinter ripoff.
JHC – The human in the picture is actually a woman. True story: this movie is going to suck.
Will I see this? Neaux.
FUCK YOU, DONK! THAT WAS MY DESPERADO JOKE!
Des is a stupid name for a mouse with huge ears. His American cousin Ross got the good name.
This reminds me of the time I poisoned all the mice in my attic and they all ran outside in search of water, only to meet an horrific death by dehydration just before they could reah the life-giving puddle of clean rain water. It was truly heartwarming.
Ugh. Another Shrek movie?
Rot, I am glad to see there are other Venture Brothers fans here. You earn a free hand job.
I’m sorry for yelling. I’m just really hungover.
Now we’re even for that Rose McGowan silliness earlier.
B.K., I was wayyyy too happy about getting my "Guild of Calamitous Intent" t-shirt this week.
I am all for any movie that teaches children that mouse traps countain treats if you are brave enough, knives are beautiful wonderful toys, and disease carrying vermin may be able to talk and take you on an adventure, so should be picked up whenever possible.
Lince, that banenr pic is really freaking me out, will you change it pretty please?
From my experience, mice aren’t animated; they’re mostly taciturn and sulky.
Judging from the banner pic, this is just another movie about a creepy, foreign dentist.
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, HEROES ON THE HALF SHELL, TURTLE POWER!!!
Donk, let me get us a boot.
*Motions to bar*
Bartender. 1 boot, 2 straws.
Does that mouse look jew-y to anybody else? I don’t quite know why though… I feel like the answer is right under my nose…
Stupid ass French mouse is climbing into the wrong hole.
I need to go eat lunch, but I don’t know what to eat.
Suggestions?
I’m thinking Ratatouille.
Fuck me, I suck.
::slams nuts in file cabinet::
So…you guys must have really liked my dream about getting high with nuns and watching Vern Troyer ejaculate on a girl in a Satanic temple, huh?
So I went to the Kung Fu Panda last night.
Sure, it was predictable, it was just like every kung fu movie you ever saw. Not a bad thing because it was a kids movie.
Sure, the characters weren’t chosen with any particularly creative thought. But it’s a fucking kids movie.
But, I will coin a new phrase here (if it isn’t origional, fuck you plagarist cocksucker who had my thought before I had it) Creatively Predictable. Sure you knew every bit of what was coming, but there was some creative animation, well coreographed and fun action, and in all it was very entertaining.
For A KIDS MOVIE.
My awesomeness gives it a solid B.
Thanks to bex for the tip.
Andy Richter’s gonna eat the fuckin rat
AAAAAAAHHH!
I know what it is Donk, because we all know that little fucker is going after that person’s gold fillings.
Crap, welcome to the "we saw Kung Fu Panda and were pleasantly surprised" Club.
*tries to pin a button on Crap’s shirt, accidentally jabs him*
i hope the mouse shits and pisses everywhere and cannibalizes the other mice he lives with. cause thats all those things ever do.
i mean rat. rats do the same thing. SORRY!
