When the Littles go to an orphanage to adopt a new family member, a charming young mouse named Stuart is chosen. While George is initially unwelcoming to his new brother, the family cat, Snowbell, is even less enthusiastic about having a mouse as his "master" and plots to get rid of him. Against these difficulties, Stuart resolves to face them with as much pluck, love and courage as he can muster. In doing so, he shows his beloved new family that great things can truly come in small packages.

Aidan B Had it moments, and the cast definitely elevated the movie: however, it just wasn't enough to save the film for me. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Ethan H IM CURRENTLY ON A BUS TO BOOTCAMP AND IT MADE ME REMEMBER HOW MUCH I HATE THIS FILM. IM NEVER WATCH AGAIN. THANK YOU AND GOODBYE! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Tiron D At least this is better than the Alvin and the Chipmunks live action movie. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/01/24 Full Review Audience Member I think Critics are too thinly detailed with how good this movie is and the Audience is too overdramatic or just troll spams by the Stuart Little Hate Cult from recent years. Objectively, It’s a good movie. There is character development between Stuart and the Family. There are many memorable scenes that are a part of the journey as well as the love/hate relationship from Snowbell to Stuart which grows very well to its ending. The detail on Stuart is excellent and it brings life to the character whilst being voiced by Michael J. Fox. You have to realize that attention to detail for a 1999 film is unbelievable. The cast is overall great though they definitely take this movie with lower maintenance but that’s understandable. Either way, it’s a good movie. Critics win this battle by default due to the trolls while the Critics themselves remain optimistic about the movie which is at the very least, true.3.0 / 4.0 | 75% Positive Score Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Devlin E I just want to stomp Stuart Little. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review STEFANO C Film molto bello e interessante!!!😃 Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
