The Tale Of Despereaux

Posted December 18th, 2008 by Tullian Tchividjian

Universal Pictures has given a gift to our families this Christmas. The Tale of Despereaux (G) will be released in theaters this Friday, December 19th. You can view the trailer and website here.

My friend John Seel (a cultural analyst par excellence) sent me this note the other day:

I’m really high on the upcoming film, “The Tale of Despereaux.” When Hollywood does something right, we really need to applaud! May be some day they’ll really start listening to their audience.

So I asked John if he’d be willing to write a guest post here exlpaining the story and why he thinks it’s important. Thankfully, he agreed. Take it away John…

Life isn’t fair. Life is hard. This is not a lesson we often teach our children. We tend to protect them from the hard edges. But a sense of entitlement leads to an attitude of victimhood. It’s far better to forgive and overcome.
