Movie: The Tale of Despereaux (2008)
Tagline: Small Hero. Big Heart.
Trivia: A number of characters have names that are artistic references. “Roscuro” refers to the “Chiaroscuro Movement”, Botticelli is a reference to the artist Sandro Botticelli, painter of “The Birth of Venus”, and Boldo is named after Giuseppe Arcimboldo, a famous surrealistic painter who composed faces and figures out of various objects in the way that Boldo himself is made out of fruit, vegetables and kitchen utensils.
Goofs: Continuity: When Despereaux is about to be dropped into the rat dungeon, he has red string wrapped around his waist. The camera cuts away to show the dungeon, and when it comes back to see Despereaux, the red string is missing.
