One I saw at the cinema. To say I'm a little too old for the target audience is an understatement. On the plus side, the CGI is perfectly serviceable for the kind of film this is, and Fox is a good choice for the voice over. The rest is a typical Hollywood kid's film, take it or leave it.

fine family fare
Mr. Little (Hugh Laurie) and Mrs. Little (Geena Davis) is looking to adopt for a younger brother for George (Jonathan Lipnicki). When they get to the orphanage, they become enamored with a little white mouse Stuart (Michael J. Fox). The family cat Snowbell (Nathan Lane) is frustrated that he isn't allowed to eat Stuart, and George is unhappy with a mouse as a brother.
This is fine lighthearted family movie. The CG mouse fits very well with the live action. It's a nice charming fare, and I love how everybody accepts a talking mouse as an everyday thing. It gives it a whimsical feel. I love that Snowbell is more scared from being laughed at by fellow cats and not so much making Stuart as a simple meal.
And there is a deeper message about adoption if you want to take it that far. And I love the affection George and Stuart grow to have. It is a great entertaining children's movie.

A cheery little holiday film
Stuart Little: The Little family set out to adopt a child, and choose a amiable talking mouse instead, much to the chagrin of their son and the family cat.
There are two words that describe this movie - words I swore I would never use in a review- : cute and sweet. Based on the children's story by EB White, the story is funny, cheerful, engaging and translates well to the screen.
The filmmakers obviously realized that making Stuart look real was essential to the movie's success and spared little expense (approximately half the film's $60 million budget went to Stuart). The results are phenomenal - you can see each individual hair on his face, his movement is amazingly fluid and when he talks, you forget he's animated . The same techniques are also utilized to make the film's felines talk. The voices - Michael J. Fox as Stuart and Nathan Lane as Snowbell - were ideal choices and help to enhance the experience.
Everyone left the premiere sporting a big silly grin and I think you will too. One note - you'll never look at pest control quite the same again.
