Aug 4 2008'Tale of Despereaux' Poster Misses Opportunity for Hilarious 'Tail' Pun
Would you look at those big ol' floppy ears, that charmingly bold pose? This adorable little fella might just be my favorite cartoon mouse after Mickey, Minnie, Jerry, Fievel, Mighty Mouse, Ratatouille, Danger Mouse, Speedy Gonzales, Pinky, The Brain, Ignatz, Itchy, Gadget Hackwrench, Mouser, The Rescuers (and Rescuers Down Under), Chuck E. Cheese, all of the mice in ABC's Capitol Critters, and Splinter. Just above Stuart Little.

to be honest, when I first saw the previews, I asked my friend in the audience, "is that a sequel to 'An American Tail'?" for some reason, haha. I feel so dumb.
uhhh, I think the mouse looks like the mouse from Stuart Little. but it also reminds me of An American Tail.

I'm gonna be honest, that pose is very reminiscent of my favorite karaoke company mascot, Sunfly.
