Movie Version a Flop

Wow. The movie version of The Tale of Despereaux was a disappointment. Much of what made the book delightful--namely the author-reader interaction--was gone from the film script. Characters were altered drastically or invented capriciously, e.g., the jailer/unfit father and the strange vegetable man. And poor Miggery Sow was not given her due--she was a much more pitiful creature than the movie led one to believe. And Roscuro's redemption seemed a bit over the top. I wonder what Kate Di Camillo thought of the version they presented? No surprise that the movie didn't come close to the book. Most of them don't.
