From Rob Minkoff, co-director of The Lion King, comes the comedy adventure Stuart Little, based on the classic book by beloved American author E.B. White (Charlotte's Web, The Trumpet of the Swan) that has been entertaining families for over 50 years. Combining live-action with groundbreaking visual effects technology by the artists and innovators at Sony Pictures Imageworks, it's the story of a mouse who is raised by the Littles, a human family played by Academy AwardŽ winner Geena Davis, Jonathan Lipnicki (Jerry Maguire) and Hugh Laurie (101 Dalmations). As Stuart (voiced by Michael J. Fox) embarks on adventures with a variety of characters, including his nemesis, Snowbell the cat (voiced by The Lion King's Nathan Lane), Stuart learns the true meaning of family, loyalty and friendship.

Reviews for Stuart Little
In case you were in doubt as to how low American civilization has sunk, go see Stuart Little.
Stuart Little doesn't have the exuberant inspiration or seamless, polished dazzle of Toy Story 2, but if the latter is sold out at the multiplex this weekend, the mouse is a passable substitute.
Lively offscreen (and onscreen) performances from Michael J. Fox, Nathan Lane, David Alan Grier and others.
Hopefully, parents and children seeking theatrical fare will give this movie a chance before seeking out something that's louder, flashier, and lobotomized.
The use of digital effects to create a tiny mouse hero is quite convincing, as are the talking mouths on those cats.
There's nothing very involving about this Rob Minkoff-directed effort.
Guided by famed visual-effects supervisor John Dykstra, the folks at Sony Imageworks have created some furry fun.
With real heart and laughs, Stuart Little lets you forget the special effects and enjoy the show.
Stuart Little is an exciting fantasy adventure for kids with more than enough verbal and visual wit to tickle adult funny bones.
E.B. White's tearful prepubescent semi-classic gets the Happy Hollywood treatment, but with disappointing results.
Ms. Davis infuses her quirky appeal with the warmth she showed in her Oscar-winning turn in The Accidental Tourist.
There's nothing in Stuart Little that works on dual levels -- for both adults and children -- as is the case in the two Toy Story films.
It's too bad that Stuart Little doesn't quite measure up to the extraordinary sweetness of the classic children's book by E.B. White on which it is based.
The fact of its hero upstages anything the plot can possibly come up with.
