Episode 28: Pea - The Tale of Despereaux (2008)

What do you get when you cross a middle-grade chapter book, an all-star cast, and an adorable mouse? 2008's The Tale of Despereaux, of course! In this rat and mouse infested "tail," we meet two human girls: Princess Pea and Miggery Sow. Their portrayals are rife with stereotypes, and contrast sharply with the well-developed rodents who serve as our protagonists. Sarah will go into the history and production of the film, and Jessica will explore the implications of implicit bias, and how assumption, especially when subconscious, affects lives. And don't forget, GAME TIME! WHAT FOOD WOULD YOUR KINGDOM HONOR, AND WHAT WOULD YOUR MAGICAL FOOD ASSISTANT LOOK LIKE?
