Synopsis

Stuart Little (1999) box art Based on the much-loved novel by EB White, this charming part-animated fantasy adventure owes more to the mouse-mat maestros than the word processors. For while the animation is pixel-perfect, the narrative is short on inspiration and awash with sentiment. Both Stuart the orphan mouse and Snowbell, his feline nemesis, are expertly realised and superbly voiced by Michael J Fox and Nathan Lane, respectively. But the human characters are awkward interlopers, with Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie overeager and Jonathan Lipnicki lacking his Jerry Maguire cuteness. Visually it's vibrant, inventive and inviting, but overall it's less adorable than Babe.
