Read More Rating:  - Not really a fanWodney suffers from a common problem - he says w instead of r. That in and of itself should have been okay, but he's shown being teased mercilessly by the other students. No adult notices and steps in, even when he's unable to speak up in class and either totally ostracised or - slightly better - so shy from this treatment that he avoids the other rodents entirely and never even pokes his head out of his jacket. This is realistic enough - unfortunately - but that doesn't make it pleasant for ...

How not being able to pronounce r's and being teased about it can turn into an asset. Wodney ends up saving his whole class from Camilla Capybera who is smarter, bigger and meaner than the other students. She takes him literally when he gives her and the group directions to wake(rake) the leaves and go west(rest)and she leaves in that direction. This turns Wodney into a hero. |
