Summary: Technically superb, not so on other categories
Review: Having missed SL when in theaters, there came finally the chance for me to view it with its home video release. For those unfamiliar with the original novel, it is hard to believe how and why the Littles would go adopt a mouse as "son" without further questions asked, but given its target audience, there's nothing that a kid can't believe. I would if I were one. As rumored, the CGI effects on Stuart are nothing less than superb. Amazingly natural, so much so that you tend to forget it's all about CGI. As an animator myself, I'd wish I could come close to such level of perfection. However, my personal feeling is that the story plot needed a little more massaging, many things come across in a way too simple mode. Maybe because of my adult point of view, but a little arguing between the familiars and Stuart about acceptance and pathos wouldn't have hurt one bit.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Not just for kids
Review: I played the role of babysitter when I took my two nieces to see "Staurt Little" at the movies. I wasn't expecting much as I assumed it was one of those movies aimed specifically at the 4-10 age group. But by the end, I thought I had enjoyed it more than any kid in the theater that day. I found the movie hilariously funny and very entertaining. The computer graphics that made that little mouse come to life was simply amazing and the attention to the sublte details was even more impressive. The script and plot of the movie is pretty simplistic and the movie should really only be taken for it's novelty value as it's concept and animation are highly original. There is no 'deep and meaningful' theme behind it and that's probably what makes it such a success. It's nothing but pure fun!

As usual, Geena davis shines in the movie and Jonathan Lipnicki is as adorable as the kid he played in "Jerry Maguire". The voice of the little mouse is played superbly by Micheal J. Fox and the original screenplay was cowritten by M. Night Shyamalan who also wrote and directed last year's blockbuster "The Sixth Sense".

In all, a great movie for the whole family to enjoy, not just the kids.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: erroneous message
Review: I found this movie to portay the adoptive process erroneously. I'm very glad that I previewed this movie before allowing my children to view it. The movie makes a mockery of the adoptive process and the committment and legal finality of the process. The writers could have stayed true to the origional story by e.b. white and still made a truely wonderful and fantesy filled movie. But instead the movies ignites every fear an adoptive child has about being taken away. The movie should carry a warning about its content, like "This movie makes a mockery of adoption." Or "This movie will terrify adopted kids."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best films of 1999!
Review: Now, I'm a 13 year old boy and you'd probably think that I would rather watch some action movie, but I like many different kinds of movies. But not kids movies. There was only 4 good kids movies in 1999 that I liked: The Iron Giant, Tarzan(I like all Disney movies, I can't help it, I love them), Toy Story 2 and Stuart Little. I was on spring break watching End of Days on my couch and then my brother came home. He went to watch Stuart Little in his room, which I got for him to watch. Well End of Days finished about 10 minutes after that so I went to ask my brother about his day and then sat down and watched the movie. I really liked it. The cat was the best of course and he had the best lines. After it, I got the Widescreen DVD and found alot of cool extra features. The script was great I thought so when I was watching the DVD and looking at the Cast and Crew, I found out that M. Night Shyamalan wrote it. He was the director and, well, creator of The Sixth Sense, one of the best films of the Decade. If you are going to get Stuart Little, get it in DVD.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I am Stuart Little !
Review: Ah, see the movie and you will know what I mean.Tarzan this aint(good grammer) But a delightful movie all the way round. Kinda like Annie as a mouseStuart is an Orphan who has been there so long that he brags up the other chidren to possible adopting parents and Impresses the Littles so much they choose him. And he comes home to a Hungry and angry cat,(who really is worried about his Rep if this gets out) And a very dissapointed Brother who wanted a little brotherjust not that little.Stuart soon wins him over and embaresses the cat to all his friends while learning allot about being a Family.Good wholesome stuff acceptfor the occasional curse word(nothing real bad, still un-needed just the same)My two boys 6 and 4 just Love it. Hey thats all I need.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Okay, I was skeptical...
Review: but this movie is adorable. This movie is not the type of movie I would normally watch. My wife really wanted to see it and I was very surprised! If you do not find Stuart adorable you may not have a heart. Finally, a movie everyone can enjoy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A trip back to more innocent times
Review: When this come out, I just had to have it. I grew up reading White's works and it's funny how they were so illogical yet greatly entertaining.

This film does a good job of helping even adults make that leap of logic that allow one to suspend one's belief in how things work in the adult world. Adopt a mouse instead of a baby? Sure!

The DVD also has a nifty game, some background "How'd they do that" feature, as well as early tests of the animators.

Overall a pleasant way to spend some time, with kids or without.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Family Fun.
Review: Surprisingly well-done visual effects on Stuart Little. CGI character named Stuart, Voiced by Micheal J. Fox. The film has some very funny moments but the second half, it`s turns to be a remake of An American Tail. The movie is a bit of a dispointment but it`s cleverly done. Grade:B.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not just for kids
Review: I've read mixed reviews on this film, mostly saying that it would appeal to young kids but nothing else. Well I don't agree. It is a delightfull and amusing family film full of messages about being different and still being able to fit in and underlining the importance of being part of a family unit. It's refreshing to sit back and immerse yourself in a world where a talking mouse is believable and leave behind all the violence, sex and swearing which has become part of most films today. The animation work is second to none, the humour is there and as I said before, the messages are clear. Great family entertainment and very under rated, much like "Plesentville" in that respect.
