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.

Had it moments, and the cast definitely elevated the movie: however, it just wasn't enough to save the film for me.

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
