Description of Stuart Little (Deluxe Edition):
This live-action version of E.B. White's novel doesn't have quite the magic of, say, Toy Story. Instead of entertainment the whole family can be enthralled with, Stuart Little is squarely aimed, and successfully so, at the 4- to 10-year-old watcher. Does this make it a bad family film? Not in the slightest. The gee-whiz visual effects (created by original Star Wars wizard John Dykstra) and the film's ebullient wholesomeness make this a welcome addition to the home library.
In E.B. White's world, it's hardly surprising that human parents would adopt "outside their species." The smooth-talking mouse Stuart (voiced by Michael J. Fox) seems the perfect new child for parents Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie, especially with an adorable wardrobe of very small sweaters and pants. Harder is fitting in with the Little's family cat, Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane, who also deftly voiced Timon in director Rob Minkoff's last feature, The Lion King). The simple story deals with Stuart trying to fit in with his new life, including big brother George (Jerry Maguire's scene-stealing Jonathan Lipnicki). And of course there's an adventure when Snowbell's schemes lead Stuart into true danger, in the form of the devious plans of an alley cat named Smokey (voiced by Chazz Palminteri). Brisk--85 minutes--amusing, and tolerably cute, Stuart Little stands tall. Two curios: The effects are so cleanly done that we could call Stuart the first successfully computer-animated actor, and the screenplay was cowritten by M. Night Shyamalan, who made bigger waves in 1999 writing and directing The Sixth Sense. --Doug Thomas
Stuart Little (Deluxe Edition) Reviews:
Stuart Little without Mr Whites charm 
2008-06-11 - This movie is visually very very cute. Hugh Laurie is terrific as always. The mouse is darling. But the storyline does not resemble the book much, and I was much disturbed by the evil fake parents who come to take him from the adoptive ones. This is a movie for little children yet it shows Stuart being led to his death by his supposed mouse parents. When will disney stop making movies about evil mothers? Children can be entertained without being terrorized by such stupid ideas. Read the book to your child, watch a Wooster and Jeeves movie, enjoy Michael Fox in something else, and skip this one..
Stuart Little 
2008-05-24 - I ordered this movie for my son's birthday. He was too young when this series came out. He is starting to enjoy movies that aren't always animated. Lovely story. Recieved this DVD on time and brand new. I will continue to shop at Amazon
Stuart is cute
2008-04-29 - My wife Mechelle and I went to see this movie as our first date. She made a wise choice as it is a very cute movie. I would definitely recommend it to both the young and old in your household. This movie stars many great actors (both in person and voiced) including Michael J. Fox, Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, Chazz Palminteri, David Alan Grier.

2008-02-16 - I received this product quickly and it was in brand new condition. I would buy more items from this seller!
cute charming but had they read the book?
2008-02-10 - I thought Micheal J fox was the perfect voice for stuart for one thing his often comical yet distressed voice that he used in the back to the future trilogy worked perfectly.
Geena Davis made the perfect Mom and that guy even if he was a child molester which I far from condone played the role of the dad to a tee. He didn't do anything untowards to kids in the film so It doesn't come into play in my review anyways. I thought the scene with the boat race was perfect the best part. Snowbell had some great lines that if my cat's spoke english I think they'd hardily agree to like " I gotta go lick myself, scratch and stare at traffic that could take hours if I do it right" All together a charming comedy movie if you don't mind that other then the films name and the charictors names there is absolutely nothing related to the book in this film. Even the boat race is a far deviation from the book. If you don't mind that then it's perfectly harmless family fun with alot less bathroom humor than the normal these days. However I urge you when your kids are older read them or havem read the book. EB White was a brilliat writer and deserves to have the classic story at least be known as far from the holloywood script.
