Stuart Little (DVD) ... DVD released 08 July, 2002 at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Dubbed, PAL, Widescreen / This live-action version of EB White's novel doesn't have quite the magic of, say, Toy Story. Stuart Little is squarely aimed, and successfully so, at the 4- to 10-year-old viewer. Does this make it a bad family film? Not in the slightest. The gee-whiz visual effects (created by original Star Wars wizard John Dykstra) and the film's ebullient wholesomeness make this a welcome addition to the home library. In EB White's world, it's hardly surprising that human parents would adopt "outside their species". The smooth-talking mouse Stuart (voiced by Michael J. Fox) seems the perfect new child for parents Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie, especially with an adorable wardrobe of very small sweaters and pants. Stuart has more difficulty fitting in with the Little's family cat, Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane, who also deftly voiced Timon in director Rob Minkoff's last feature, The Lion King). The simple story deals with Stuart trying to fit in with his new life, including big brother George (Jerry Maguire's scene-stealing Jonathan Lipnicki). And of course there's an adventure when Snowbell's schemes put Stuart into real danger from the devious plans of an alley cat named Smokey (voiced by Chazz Palminteri). Brisk--85 minutes--amusing, and tolerably cute, Stuart Little stands tall. Two curios: The effects are so cleanly done that we could call Stuart the first successfully computer-animated actor, and the screenplay was co-written by M. Night Shyamalan, who made bigger waves in 1999 writing and directing The Sixth Sense. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

Stuart Little is a great childrens film and I like it too (maybe I'm a big kid) It's all about a mouse called stuart who gets adopted by the little family ahhh and becomes stuart little and a brother to george. Stuart Little is based on the classic book by E B White. Join in the fun as Stuart embarks on all sorts of adventures and searches for a sense of belonging in a human sized world. Good special effects, comedy and action make this a big adventure for a LITTLE mouse Storyline is unrealistic a couple want a child and adopt a mouse (yep it happens everyday) but it works even for me and children love it. ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Promised A Lot - Delivered Little (1794 words)

I went to see Stuart Little with my partner and my three and a half year old daughter at a matinee performance at our “local” Showcase cinema - half an hour’s drive away, and on a huge retail park. It was the first film we have taken our daughter to, and I hoped that it would be a really special film. The best thing about the whole morning was the absence of any other people in the cinema. We felt like millionaires for the day. Unfortunately millionaires have to sit through bad films just like everyone else. THE FILM Stuart Little the movie is the tale of a mouse-boy, adopted by human parents, and adapted from the book of the same ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Stuart Little (DVD): Saccharine Mouse-Personified (1086 words)

Rating:

Sweeter than Sugar, the ultimate in cutesy pie, stereotypical American family, Hugh Laurie, Geena Davis and that kid that played the human lead in The Little Vampire, the most despicable one of them all, and in a schmaltzier than schmaltzy manner, they go wandering off down the orphanage to make their horrid little brood complete, but astonishingly they decide to take on a talking mouse, whom they just know is right for them. Sickened yet? Well, it gets a lot, lot worse - I give you Stuart Little, and it serves you bloody well right, you Christmas loving saps - join me and weep as I give you the dave27 appreciation of one of the most vom-inducing ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review A disappointing Adaptation of a great book (805 words)

Ron Minkoff directs this M Night Shyamalan screenplay adaptation of the heart-warming book by E B White. M Night Shyamalan, a talented young writer (and director – he wrote and directed Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willis) adapts this wonderful E B White book detailing the story of Stuart Little. I read this book to my children when they were six and was excited and intrigued by the screen adaptation. The book tells the tale of a mouse that is adopted by a family, and the adventures that he has. The book is an enchanting fairy tale that is superb for young children (And old adults like myself!) The Movie Mr and Mrs Little ...  Read the complete review

Admit it Mr Spielberg, you 've got this thing about mice. ( Known to psychoanalysts as Mickey-envy) First there was the Mouskowitz family in ' An American Tail', then came the darkly comic 'Mouse hunt' and now the fantastic childrens extravaganza, 'Stuart Little'. THE FILM ----------- Largely unknown outside the USA, EB White's story about a mouse adopted by the Little family is hugely popular over there. ( kinda like the Grinch!). There is a scene in Mrs Doubtfire where Robin Wiliams reads it as a bedtime story for his daughter. This skilfully adapted screenplay is by one Mr Night Shyamalan.
