Trivia | For the scene in which Andre and Boldo threw things at each other, Kevin Kline and Stanley Tucci threw things at each other, reading the lines and improvising them based on what transpires in the scene. While they acted the scene out, a cameraman was walking around filming the action. Producer Gary Ross wanted to have them act it out entirely. They tried a variety of different things, different degrees of insanity and intensity. See more » |
Goofs | When Despereaux is about to be dropped into the rat dungeon, he has red string wrapped around his waist. The camera cuts away to show the dungeon, and when it comes back to see Despereaux, the red string is missing for one shot. When the camera shows him again before being dropped, the string reappears properly. See more » |
