Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Stuart Little
Stuart is the only mouse in the orphanage, and he wants a home. Then, the Littles arrive and adopt him. At first, their son, George isn't very supportive of this. Then, he starts to like him. They soon become the best of friends, but the family cat wants Stuart to leave. This is a wonderful family film, that is heartwarming and fun.
--Estefan Ellison, Resident Scholar

STUART LITTLE is a movie written by M. Night Shyamalan and directed by Rob Minkoff in 1999. Nominated for the Academy Award in the Best Visual Effects category.

Stuart, a little white mouse, is adopted by the Little family. But Snowbell the house cat is not happy with this intruder and asks for help Smokey who finds a very mean way to force Stuart to leave the house.

Rather good movie about friendship and family values.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
