A likeable, highly entertaining film that endears in spite of the odd spot of Disney-esque schmaltz.

He's clever, enthusiastic, a 'can do' guy with attitude-and he's a mouse. 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 Award® 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
[Uses] class and ethnic stereotypes in support of the idea that it's best to be adopted by rich white people.
I found myself caring for the humble little mouse, and that's the whole point.
This simple story features amazing computer effects to render Stuart and a story that will bore anyone over the age of ten.
It is just as E.B. White envisioned it when he conceived of the children's story on a train to New York 50 years ago.
Too bad director Minkoff couldn't inspire his actors to show a little more energy.
Mouse tale with heartwarming emotion and eye-popping effects is anything but cheesy.
I would hate to know that this was any child's first encounter with Stuart.
Stuart Little offers a neat package of warm-hearted charm and sly wit.
O filme se torna entediante a partir do momento em que nossa admiração pela proeza tecnológica alcançada pela Imageworks, criadora do ratinho Stuart Little, chega ao fim.
A fine and funny family film that adults will relish just as much as their children do.
This is that rare children's film that works perfectly for grown-ups as well with its witty story, sharp performances and astonishing special effects that never draw attention to themselves.
As kid's films go, this was not too bad. A little obvious here and there to crusty veterans, but a pleasant diversion for the shorter set without totally boring parents.
