Summary: Cute and great for the whole family
Review: What happens when the Little family goes to adopt a brother for there son. They don't know who to pick until they meat Stuart (Michael J Fox). He's kind-hearted and willing to do anything to have a real familty. But there is one slight problem... Stuart is a mouse. And his brother Buzz isn't too happy that his little brother isn't even human. The family Cat Snowbell, isn't too happy to welcome Stuart into the family either. Will Stuart ever fell like he belongs some where? Or is he looking in all the wrong places.

Stuart Little is a warm touching story about finding yourself and growing as a person. Michael J. Fox once again delivers wonderfully. It's a great movie for kids, and some people who are still 9-year-olds at heart like me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gets a smile from everyone!
Review: I bought this movie on a hunch for my son who is about to turn 2.Not only does he sit still for the whole movie, but he cracks up during it as well. And so do I. My husband still falls asleep,but he falls asleep in any movie. This was such a cute, wholesome and timeless movie. I know it's kind of corny at times, but sometimes it just works in the right movie. I think this is a great family movie. Two thumbs up!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Delightful film for whole family
Review: This is a delightful family film, loosely based on the E.B. White classic of the same name. The real star here is Michael J. Fox whose voice is just perfect for Stuart. The computerized special effects were justly Oscar nommed. The editing is also worthy of mention. It's great fun with villianous cats after Stuart and getting their comeuppance in the end. Very worth a rental.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Something for everyone
Review: This enchanting movie is one you will watch until you wear the tape out. What I really love is that along with the clever humor and magical effects it delivers a compelling example of love making stronger family ties than common genes. Don't rewind until the credits are done...the outakes are a scream!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Movie, Superb Transfer, Generous Extras
Review: "Stuart Little" is a very enjoyable children's film. It's enjoyable for people of all ages. I'm sure the storyline is common knowledge by know so I won't bore you with that.

To be blunt, this is the best looking DVD that I have seen! The image is sharp as a tack, with no color bleed (even in Geena Davis' red dresses), no digital artifacting, or NTSC artifacting. This is as close to film a DVD can get. The sound isn't too shabby either. Pretty directional front stage and even some surround action.

The supplements are great. My favorites are the commentary by some of the SFX people and the SFX featurette, which goes through 4 steps of 6 CGI sequences.

A great DVD all around!

Summary: Annyoying 5 year olds movie.
Review: This is the typical American family movie that I love to hate. The Little family walked around wearing big cheesy grins, to a point where I wanted to punch the smiles off with my fist. Stuart is WAY too cute for my liking. The only time I was amused was when Stuart got stuck in the washing machine (unfortunatley, Mrs. Little got him out).

Thank goodness this movie only went for an hour and a half. Any longer and I would've gone insane.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good video, but boat part is sort of dull...
Review: Okay, okay, the boat part is kind of dull. Anyways, it was still a good video. I also watched the movie. I actually won this, instead of buying it. Stuart (who is Michael J. Fox) Little, is a little mouse (which you probably know already) who George doesn't like at first, in the beginning, but then he begins to like him more. He helped with George's boat, but then in the boat race, someone stepped on the remote control, and it was broken. The boat part is sort of dull, as I told you. This has a very good ending. The middle-end, is a little sad. I almost cried when I saw the movie. I hope you watch this video. It is a good video. Buy it, rent it, whatever!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Different from the book...
Review: The movie was a lot different from the book. In the book was better. In the movie, Stuart is adopted and is made a part of the cheesy Little family. The effects were very good, though. Mouse Trap was much funnier, but this one is great for little kids.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A well written movie with a well designed DVD
Review: I think the best part about Stuart Little is not the talented actors, or the dazzling CGI and visual effects. It's the screenplay. When I first heard M. Night Shyamalan, the genius behind 1999's smash hit wonder "The Sixth Sense", cowrote this movie, my jaw hit the floor in disbelief. I saw the movie to check it out, and boy, was I impressed! Hard-core Sixth Sense fans can immediately tell when M. Night Shyamalan sprinkled his fairy dust in this movie, including the realism behind the Little family, Stuart's heartwarming speech at the orphanage, the emotional confession by the Stouts to Stuart that they were threatened into posing as his parents, and the segment immediately following, when Stuart proclaims to the city of Brooklyn that he is Stuart Little. Also, he lend a hand in determining the setting of this movie, which is Brooklyn, because there's something about M. Night Shyamalan that influences him to pick big city locations for his movies (ex. "The Sixth Sense" took place in Philadelphia), and the emotional sequences, like at the moment when the entire Little clan is searching for Stuart, when at the same time Stuart comes back to his real home: the Littles' home, but only comes home to Snowbell, who tells a blatant lie that the Littles were glad he left, and he helped with the ending alley cat sequences that were literally the entire reason this movie was rated PG. Through the movie, you scratch your chin wondering why this movie was rated PG. When these sequences begin near the end, it all becomes clear to you. During these sequences, there are 3 instances of foul language spouted by the very unflattering alley cats, and also there are rude and/or offensive comments by them as well, and through it all, there is suspense a little too great for kids, making the whole ordeal a little thematic for kids. Yet through it all, Stuart still has the fairy-tale like urge to say "Oh, dear...", and when the moment of the movie is out of M. Night Shyamalan's hands, it's good, clean family entertainment brought to you by Greg Brooker. And by the way, this movie isn't terribly along the lines of E.B. White, but it's still a good movie.

Now how 'bout that DVD? If you want it, make your pick: widescreen DVD or fullscreen DVD. They both have the same outstanding array of features made easy by Stuart, and they both have the same price, but I do wish both versions could have been put on ONE disc to make it simpler, because Columbia-Tristar Home Video already proved that possible with the DVD release of "Blue Streak". But, still, the features are impressive, and include a fun game about the movie which you don't need a DVD-ROM drive for, you can play it right on your player with your navigation buttons and your "enter" button. And the disc also has all 3 music videos of the main songs from the soundtrack, commentary by the director, animation supervisor, and visual effects supervisor, a Music-only track, CGI animation samples from effects animators trying out to work on the movie, deleted scenes with optional director commentary, trailers from several Columbia and Tristar movies for kids, including Muppets From Space, Baby Genuises, The Adventures Of Elmo in Grouchland, and, of course, Stuart Little, and many other films as well. AND (I never thought I'd have to say that about a DVD) the original concept reel of the Boat Race constructed of storyboards with commentary by the director, and talent files. And finally, it has an extended blooper reel that is FAR more pleasing than the one included on the VHS tape, and even a visual effects blooper reel, proving that visual effects animators are not just computer-jargin-spouting workacholics, with animated bloopers including a very brief one involving Snowball insisting he's "not strange", then his eyes and tongue bug out in a cartoony way, and a blooper from the scene where Mr. Stout pinches his wife.

So if you like a good movie based on a good book, see Stuart Little.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Family sticks together!
Review: This has got to be the cutest and sweetest movie I've ever seen. Michael J. Fox was the perfect voice for the Little mouse. I could almost see Michael J. Fox as Stuart Little held his little hands in front of himself and said, "I'm family."

It took George, the little boy, time to get used to Stuart, but once he did, he was just like a brother.

The cat, Snow Bell, was perfect. All the little bits of dialogue between him and Stuart are priceless. "Can't we be friends?" Stuart asks. "Mmmm,... NO!" Snow Bell sputters. It was perfect. And the part where Stuart doesn't know what to do with a pet: "Can I scratch your belly?" and the cat says, "From the inside?"

E.B. White must be awfully proud of this film, as E.B. White wrote the book. I'm afraid I do not know how old the book is, but I think it is a classic, and the film done it proud.

Any child from three to a hundred and three should watch this movie.
