The Tale of Despereaux (DVD, 2009)

This was a wonderful movie driven by a great voice cast and fantastic artwork. The story and plot was so original and new, which is an immense relief since there still aren't that many CGI films out. The narration by Sigourney Weaver was absolutely splendid, her script really made it feel like I was being read to out of a children's book. Best of all, the moralistic messages in this film weren't shoved in my face or so obvious that all surprises are gone - it's probably one of the best subtle-theme-handling kids movies I've seen in a long while.
