Summary: Good points, bad points, pointy points
Review: There are good things about the movie, there are bad things about the movie. The four-year-old reviewer didn't like it because, and I quote, "the cats were mean." They were also funny, and the feline antics in this movie were one of its high points. The kid who played George was top-nitch, as well, even if the script he had to work with was a little thin (movies where one cast member's feelings about another go from hate to love in one scene drive me bats, and it happens here twice). Having never read E. B. White's book, I've no idea whether any of this at all was faithful to that, but if so, I need to go back and look at E. B. White with a far more critical eye; I think he's a better writer than this, though. Blame the adaptation. And the mouse? The animation was good. Could have been better, but then I saw this five days after seeing Toy Story 2, and anyone's animation would pale in comparison to the wonders being churned out twice yearly by Pixar. So I can't really fault them for not spending the extra twenty million or so to come up with the world's best animation. Now for the humans. First off, no one will be giving makeup Oscars to the person who worked on Geena Davis; had someone hit her with a ruler during the making of this film, it would have sunk in at least to the 6. She moves very slowly throughout the movie, no doubt because she's wearing at least fifty pounds of pancake makeup. The other main human character is Hugh Laurie; I've never been a Fry and Laurie fan, but I must admit he's an engaging sort. Almost as good as the kid. And then come the cameos. There were so many stars in this movie with less than a minute of screen time I had flashbacks to The Thin Red Line. The always-underrated Kimmy Robertson shows up for a single line; Dabney Coleman gets about fifteen seconds. And so on, and so on. Even Chazz Palminteri (as the voice of the main alley cat) gets more screen time, and he never shows up bodily. Sheesh. (Palminteri, by the way, is a riot.) Even Estelle Getty, who's a many-times-proven comic genius, gets one line. The rest of her screen time is great because she plays a deadpan role better than any other seventy-odd-year-old lady in movies today, but it's still a waste of awe-inspiring talent. So what do we have? A cute story that could have been scripted better; an excellent cast that could have been used better; and a bunch of really, really good animals. You make the call. If you take into account the fact that I got free parking out of it, I paid $1.25, which is about right.

Summary: Well, it's harmless...
Review: ...With a picture-perfect family, a too-adorable little moppet, and a slight story, I wasn't about to give this a fair review. But somehow, it pushed all the right buttons with me. Like its title mouse, this movie is sweet and ingratiating. And honestly, no one who watches this movie will worry about things like plot or character development. They just want the socks charmed off of them. So while not a classic, or even a very good movie, "Stuart Little" does at least deliver what it promises. There are worse ways to spend an hour and a half.

Summary: An excellent family movie
Review: This movie seems to work much better in video/DVD format than it did at the cinemas. It's a very warm and heartening story about an talking orphan mouse who is adopted by a human family. It follows his trials and tribulations as he and they (including their cat) learn to live together. They storyline doesn't contain any particular surprises but the whole thing is so well put together, it's a pleasure to watch. In addition, the extras on the DVD are some of the best around and put the majority of other DVDs to shame. It even includes a brilliant set of short 'audition' animations from various animators showing what each could do in 15 seconds given the mouse, a bacground and a couple of props.

Summary: Stuart Little DVD Review: A very touching family movie
Review: I never read the book. I guess I'm so sheltered that I never knew about Stuart Little. Why did I buy this DVD? I read articles of how this DVD is packed with extras on one DVD and they were right. It's loaded with extras! Just for that, I knew I had to check this DVD out. I must let you know though that this DVD uses the "seamless branching technology" which a few DVD players won't play. My newer player has this problem but fortunately you can access the special features via your "goto" and "title" buttons. The movie has great colors and the digital 5.1 can be heard in certain areas of the movie which is cool. The movie itself was great and would be great to show your children. Cat lovers may question the movie and maybe PETA as well. As for the extras...my when they say it's loaded...it's LOADED! Although the movie is 85 minutes long, they loaded this DVD with perhaps hours of extras. The gag reel is very funny and expect yourself to be watching this DVD for several hours. I have to say that Stuart Little is one of the best DVD's that children and parents will love. It also features an all-star cast doing the voices of the characters. The Stuart Little DVD is highly recommended!

Summary: FOR ALL, not just children!
Review: Stuart Little is one of those rare films that the entire family can watch and enjoy together. Children will be completely enthralled and adults will alternately laugh uncontrollably and wipe away the odd sentimental tear. The basic plot revolves around the Little family, who adopt Stuart (a mouse) despite warnings to "adopt within your own species." The computer-generated animation is flawless, and those with pet cats or rodents will share a knowing smile or two as the watch their pets' various personalities acted out on the screen. The DVD sound and picture is unbelievably clear and as for the extras - it's what Disney would call a 'special edition' - This is what a DVD should be like as standard. Great menu systems on the DVD and so many added extras. The commentary is much appreciated, as it's lovely to know how such effects were done. A HUGE hit for ALL AGES! I disagree with anyone saying this is just for kids - Imagination isn't confined by age! I'm 21 and love Disney and now, my new friend, Stuart Little!

Summary: EXQUISITE MOVIE, BUT BEWARE OF THE CURSE WORDS
Review: I thought that this movie was very well made, and I found the characters to be very believable and entertaining. It is fun to see a rough looking cat transformed into the leader of a street gang, but I would caution any parent that this movie has the words "hell" and "damn" in it several surprising times. These words were completely unnecessary, also -- we already knew the mean, tough cats were mean and tough without them using foul language.

Summary: Good.
Review: I was about to give this 4 stars before, but I think it doesn't desrve that much praise. The family is too cheesy and Geena Davis does a BAD job at acting Stuart's mum. Hugh Laurie isn't great either, but Jonathan Lipnicki, Michael J. Fox and Nathan Lane make the movie cheerful and funny. (for the kids). The film is fast-paced, with Mr and Mrs. Little imeddiately going and looking to adopt a child. Well, they adopt something, but it isn't a child. It is a speaking mouse. You guessed it - it's Stuart! He thinks he is going to have a happy home but unfortunately the family cat and his new brother George aren't to happy about having a mouse in the house! Not as good as MouseHunt, but this film has great special effects and an adorable litle mouse named Stuart.

Summary: Stuart Little
Review: Stuart Little There have been many movies about mice who can talk and understand people. "Ralph," "Mouse Hunt," and "Witches" are just a few others. "Stuart Little" is definitely worth seeing. In it, Stuart who is a mouse, gets adopted by a human family. His human brother, George, wished for a real brother, and this is one of the things that he had to over come. Things started out rough for the family. In the beginning George wished that Stuart would leave. But eventually the clocks turned, and everything ended okay. Parts of this movie were hard to understand . It definitely was made up. Their house is the only house in the big city, and it is in between two tall skyscrapers. Once, when Stuart fell into a water way, he just "happened" to come up right in front of his house. This movie is rated PG, and I was a little bit surprised when the characters said some swear words. But overall it is a family movie. The main character is Stuart Little whose voice was that of Michael J. Fox, a well known comedian and actor. Stuart is a small mouse with tiny, beady eyes. George, Stuart's brother, is played by Jonathan Lipnicki. The mom is played by Geena Davis while the dad is played by Hugh Laurie. Again, this movie was great, and I would recommend it to people at any age.

Summary: Excellent Innocent Fun
Review: I purchased Stuart Little on the strength of the cinematic trailer because I wanted to add another entertaining family film to my collection - I am pleased to say that I was not disappointed. The computer animation is top notch but it's more than just an eye candy film - it's a skillful retelling of a heart-warming story. Stuart himself is an entertaining character, but other characters also get a look in with funny lines (Snowball, the cat, comes out with a couple of classics). I also enjoyed Hugh Laurie and Geena Davis as the oh-so-nice Mr and Mrs Little; tongue in cheek performances but not so much as to demean their characters. Finally, I'd also like to give top marks to the producers of the DVD. They've bundled in plenty of options to add value to the package, including two different voiceovers from people involved with making the film, an insight in the special effects, a game and even some music videos.
