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.

The interspecies mischief makes for a charming family movie about feeling different, being bullied, and fitting in.

[Uses] class and ethnic stereotypes in support of the idea that it's best to be adopted by rich white people.

What's the cutest thing you can imagine? Well, the animatronic mouse who stars in Stuart Little is even more adorable.

A likeable, highly entertaining film that endears in spite of the odd spot of Disney-esque schmaltz.
