I’d love to win! I really wanted to see this movie when it came out, and never made it to the theater. It looks like the kind of movie our family would watch over & over!
I’d love to win it! I have 14 grandkids and new movies are always welcome around here! Thnaks!

We love to have movie nights in our house and I wanted to see this movie very badly. Thanks for the chance.
I would love to see this movie with our kids.
I’d like to see the movie because I read the whole book in French and absolutely loved it. One of the best kids books I’ve read in a while (I try to read them in French if possible, to keep up my comprehension)!
My husband also loves cute animated movies–seeing Ratatouille was one of the high points of our honeymoon, it inspired us for cooking, etc.
I probably wouldn’t keep it if I won, I’d give it to one of my friends with kids, ask around to see whose kids might be interested. I just need to get off my butt and actually see it.

I would love to win this for my daughter and surprise her with it. She was asking me to go see it when it was in theatres, but I was unable to take her because I had a baby around the time it came out. So she has been patietly waiting for it to come to DVD.

I don’t Twitter because I refuse to get caught up in making cell phones companies any richer than they already are…maybe if they lower monthly rates given the number of cell phones there are in the world. What ever happened to the concept that demand creates supply which drives down the price?

Wow!it will be cool to win the DVD - being a mom of 3 - and in times as these buying a DVD falls low on the list but something which excites the kids much - so winning a DVD will be best of both worlds and that too of an entertaining movie as The Tale of Despereaux!
